People v. Williams

Defendant was charged with 6 counts of unlawful use of weapons by a felon and 1 count of possession of a defaced firearm. Court granted Defendant's motion to suppress evidence. State's motion for specific findings, seeking clarification of its order granting motion to suppress, sought no substantive change to the judgment and thus did not qualify as a motion directed against the judgment; under meaning of Rule 606(b) and thus did not toll the 30-day period for filing a notice of appeal. State did not seek, and court did not grant, an extension of time for State to file its motion to reconsider. Thus, court's order denying State's motion to reconsider is vacated for want of jurisdiction. (OVERSTREET and CHAPMAN, concurring.)
