Probation
Citation
Case Number: 
2020 IL App (4th) 170872
Decision Date: 
Thursday, April 23, 2020
District: 
4th Dist.
Division/County: 
Champaign Co.
Holding: 
Appeal dismissed.
Justice: 
CAVANAGH

Court revoked Defendant's probation and resentenced her to 2 years for aggravated battery. Defendant's appellate counsel moved to withdraw for lack of reasonable argument for appeal. Defendant, who has fully served her sentence, failed to file a response to appellate counsel's motion. Assuming that Defendant will not again face a sentencing hearing, she lacks a personal stake in the question of probation revocation, and her appeal is moot. (DeARMOND and HARRIS, concurring.)
