No. 3-83-0705.

126 Ill. App.3d 722 (1984)

467 N.E.2d 589

THE PEOPLE ex rel. CITY OF KANKAKEE, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. JOSEPH MORRIS, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — Third District.

Opinion filed June 29, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Michael R. Berz and Debra K. Smietanski, both of Berz & Smietanski, of Kankakee, for appellant.

L. Patrick Power, State's Attorney, of Kankakee (William H. Taube, of counsel), for the People.


Judgment affirmed.

JUSTICE TRAPP delivered the opinion of the court:

The State's Attorney brought this quo warranto action on behalf of the city of Kankakee to remove defendant Joseph Morris from his elected office as alderman of the city. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the People, and defendant appeals. At issue is whether an alderman can be ousted from office for a felony theft conviction when he is sentenced to probation.
