¶ 68 We note that a respondent may file and proceed on a new application notwithstanding the fact that an appeal is pending on a previous application. People v. Tunget, 287 Ill. App. 3d 533, 535, 678 N.E.2d 1246, 1247 (1997). We sincerely hope respondent was able to file a new application and proceed on it while this appeal has been pending. If he has, and if he has been conditionally discharged, then a trial on his original application is not required. If not, a trial on his application showing recovery must be conducted. (In the event of a trial, we remind the trial court that the relevant inquiry is whether respondent is a sexually dangerous person on the date of the trial court's decision.
