Supreme Court of Illinois

In an appeal from the vacation of a voluntary dismissal of an admiralty claim, the appeal is dismissed where current statute gives circuit courts jurisdiction to vacate their judgments within 30 days or to take other action concerning them. Therefore, the vacation order was not final and appealable and could not be reviewed under Supreme Court Rule 301, the appeal rule utilized by the defendant, which requires a final judgment.
