People v. McQueen

Appellate Court of Illinois, Fourth District
Mar 27, 1975
325 N.E.2d 772 (Ill. App. Ct. 1975)

Opinion

No. 12719 Judgment affirmed.

March 27, 1975.

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Vermilion County; the Hon. FRANK J. MEYER, Judge, presiding.

Richard J. Wilson and John L. Swartz, both of State Appellate Defender's Office, of Springfield, for appellant.

Richard J. Doyle, State's Attorney, of Danville (G. Michael Prall, of Illinois State's Attorneys Association, of counsel), for the People.


Defendant, Raymond McQueen, appeals from a judgment entered pursuant to a guilty plea for the offense of burglary and from a sentence imposed of 1 to 5 years' imprisonment. Said sentence is concurrent with that imposed in another case pending in this court (Gen. No. 12718). The only issue raised is whether the trial judge adequately admonished defendant under Supreme Court Rule 402(a)(2) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 110A, par. 402) regarding the minimum and maximum sentence prescribed by law.

• 1, 2 Defendant first contends that he was not adequately admonished of the maximum sentence because he was not informed of the mandatory parole term. We do not agree and note that defendant was informed of the minimum and maximum term of imprisonment for the offense charged. Our supreme court in People v. Krantz, 58 Ill.2d 187, 317 N.E.2d 559, has stated that substantial compliance with Rule 402(a)(2) does not require an admonition regarding the mandatory parole term.

• 3 Defendant also contends that he was not adequately admonished of the minimum sentence because he was not informed of the possibility of probation, conditional discharge and periodic imprisonment. We do not agree and find our decision in People v. Butchek, 22 Ill. App.3d 391, 317 N.E.2d 148, to be dispositive. Hence, the defendant need not be informed of these sentencing alternatives, and the trial judge here fully complied with Rule 402(a)(2) in this regard. Also see People v. Krantz, 58 Ill.2d 187, 317 N.E.2d 559.

Accordingly, the judgment of the circuit court of Vermilion County is affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.

GREEN and CRAVEN, JJ., concur.
