People v. Reyes

Defendant pled guilty to aggravated DUI and was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. Six years after his conviction, defendant filed a pro se petition to revoke the fines assessed in conjunction with his conviction under section 5-9-2 of the Corrections Code. The trial court denied the petition and defendant appealed. On appeal, the court considered whether the trial court was required to wait 30 days before denying the petition to revoke fines sua sponte and whether certain fines defendant sought to revoke were properly subject to the petition. The appellate court answered both questions in the negative and affirmed the order of the trial court. (McLAREN and ZENOFF, concurring)
