Illinois Supreme Court

People v. Brown

June 16, 2022463 Ill. Dec. 778

Summary

The Illinois Supreme Court held that the circuit court violated the supreme court's mandate by reconsidering and vacating the modified order that had been entered exactly as directed on remand. Because the remand order was the supreme court's judgment implemented ministerially by the circuit court, the circuit court lacked authority to alter it or entertain a motion challenging it. The court therefore vacated the circuit court's later orders and directed reentry of the June 4, 2020, modified order.
