Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Post-Plea Proceedings
Defendant pled guilty to two counts of attempted murder and was sentenced to two concurrent sentences of 31 years. He subsequently filed a motion to withdraw guilty plea and on appeal argued that post-plea counsel failed to comply with SCR 604(d). The appellate court reversed and remanded, concluding that the certificate did not comply with Supreme Court Rules because counsel did not certify that she examined the report of proceedings and failed to certify that she consulted with the defendant. The appellate court remanded for the filing of a new post-plea motion, a new hearing on the motion, and compliance with SCR 604(d). (LAVIN and COGHLAN, concurring)
