PEOPLE v. SMITH

No. 86775.

745 N.E.2d 1194 (2000)

195 Ill.2d 179

253 Ill.Dec. 660

The PEOPLE of the State of Illinois, Appellee, v. David SMITH, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Illinois.

Rehearing Denied April 2, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven F. Molo and Ilene Lin Bloom, of Winston & Strawn, and Marshall J. Hartman, of the Office of the State Appellate Defender, Chicago, for appellant.

James E. Ryan, Attorney General, Springfield, and Richard A. Devine, State's Attorney, Chicago (William L. Browers, Assistant Attorney General, Chicago, and Renee Goldfarb and Barbara L. Jones, Assistant State's Attorneys, of counsel), for the People.

Justice McMORROW delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant, David Smith, appeals from an order of the circuit court of Cook County dismissing his amended petition for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Because defendant was sentenced to death for the underlying convictions, his appeal lies directly to this court. 134 Ill.2d R. 651(a). For the reasons that follow, we affirm the judgment of the circuit court.
