People v. Roberson

(Court opinion corrected 7/1/19.) Court entered sua sponte dismissal of Defendant's pro se Section 2-1401 petition for relief from judgment. Defendant, as appellant, has burden of presenting a sufficiently complete record. Defendant mailed petition to court on California Avenue, where it was initially filed nearly 1 month later, sent to another court in Bridgeview, and filed a 2nd time the next day. The petition was discussed 1 month later. Record does not show that Defendant served State by registered or certified mail, or whether or when the State received service. Thus, record does not show when the 30-day responding period began. (PUCINSKI and HYMAN, concurring.)
