View this case - free  

Overview: Order denying motion to withdraw a guilty plea when counsel had not filed an Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 604(d) certificate was not void, it was merely voidable; as the order was only voidable, an inmate's attempt to collaterally attack the 1988 judgment was untimely under 735 Ill. Comp. Stat.
