LEVIN v. RETIREMENT BOARD OF COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND OFFICERS ANNUITY AND BENEFIT FUND OF COOK COUNTY (2020)

Supreme Court of Illinois.

Lori G. LEVIN, Appellee, v. The RETIREMENT BOARD OF the COUNTY EMPLOYEES' AND OFFICERS' ANNUITY AND BENEFIT FUND OF COOK COUNTY, Appellant.

(Docket No. 125141)

Decided: May 21, 2020

Mary Patricia Burns, Vincent D. Pinelli, and Sarah A. Boeckman, of Burke Burns & Pinelli, Ltd., of Chicago, for appellant. Clinton A. Krislov and Christopher M. Hack, of Krislov & Associates, Ltd., of Chicago, for appellee.

OPINION

¶ 1 In this case, one Justice of this court has recused himself, and the remaining members of the court are divided so that it is not possible to secure the constitutionally required concurrence of four judges for a decision (see Ill. Const. 1970, art. VI, § 3). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. The effect of this dismissal is the same as an affirmance by an equally divided court of the decision under review but is of no precedential value. See Perlman v. First National Bank of Chicago, 60 Ill. 2d 529, 530, 331 N.E.2d 65 (1975).
