No. 103269.Supreme Court of Illinois.
Filed July 28, 2006.
Rule 23 Order No. 1-04-2021.
Disposition of Petitions for Leave to Appeal Denied with order.
In the exercise of this court’s supervisory authority, and premised on defendant’s petition for Leave to appeal indicating his desire to withdraw his guilty pleas in preference to the remedy actually given him by the Appellate Court. First District, this matter is remanded to the appellate court with directions that it shall appoint counsel for defendant for the purpose of counseling defendant of the ramifications of withdrawing his guilty pleas. If defendant still wishes to withdraw his guilty pleas, appointed counsel shall so notify the appellate court. In that event, the appellate court is directed to vacate its judgment in People v. Chamness, No. 1-04-2021 (July 28, 2006), and to reconsider its judgment in light of People v. Whitfield, 217 Ill.2d 177 (2005), and defendant’s stated preference for withdrawing his guilty pleas, to determine whether a different result is warranted.
