View this case - free  

Overview: Dismissal of the inmate's postconviction petition was affirmed after the appellate court concluded that Apprendi did not apply to the inmate's case because the inmate's direct appeals were exhausted before Apprendi was decided, and thus, Apprendi did not apply retroactively to the inmate's case.

People v. Quigley, Nos. 2-04-0750 & 2-04-0751 cons., APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, SECOND DISTRICT, June 23, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Because a trial court summarily dismissed defendant's Post-Conviction Hearing Act, 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/122-1 et seq., (2004), petition within 90 days and without the input of any party, the dismissal was procedurally proper even though the trial court inappropriately referenced the substantial-showing standard.

View this case - free  

Overview: Grant of partial summary judgment in favor of automaker did not act as res judicata to plaintiffs' voluntarily dismissed and later refiled claims regarding seatbelt issues. The procedural path taken by plaintiffs did not constitute improper claim splitting, and even if it did, the automaker acquiesced to it by failing to timely object.

Overview: In a medical malpractice action, the evidence was balanced but sufficiently favorable to defendants to allow the jury to arrive at its verdict. The trial court did not err in denying a mother's motion for a directed verdict; the court could not say that the evidence so overwhelmingly favored the mother that no contrary verdict could stand.

U.S. Bank N.A. v. Phillips, No. 1-05-1829, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, FIRST DIVISION, June 26, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: "Bonded bill of exchange" tendered by mortgagor in complete satisfaction of a mortgage was not a negotiable instrument under 810 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/3-104(a)(1), (c), or a check under § 3-104(f). It was a meaningless piece of paper that did not discharge the mortgagor's obligations, and thus, the judicial sale of foreclosed property was proper.
