Appellate Court of Illinois

In a conviction for murder, denial of defendant's petition for postconviction relief is affirmed over claims that: 1) the trial court erred when it treated the two petitions as a single postconviction petition without following the procedures outlined in People v. Shellstrom; and 2) that the trial court erred when it summarily dismissed defendant's petition because his claim that a juror was sleeping during his trial was neither frivolous nor patently without merit.
