question posed by this court is yes this court may consider going of course claim that it sends a first time offender cooperation is flowing even though he was no longer imprisoned for the purposes of the post conviction act as multiple cases  clear the new court can raise the issue of his voice sentence at any time either directly or collaterally it does not depend on the verbiage of the post conviction act in prison in the penitentiary rack of distinction is that this isn't that that multiple cases of how that avoids sentence issue can be raised either directly or collaterally in the other words it's it doesn't it it's paul all of the progeny from that have never considered it as a subject matter jurisdiction issue because it's not the illinois courts derive their authority to hear things from the illinois constitution or courts of general jurisdiction this is unlike article three courts in the federal really not we're standing in the burden of the plaintiff to clinton prove it's the opposite under illinois law in illinois rod lack of standing is an affirmative defense that can be great again but i mean for the purposes of of not only what this court set forth the question posed by this court in order and for the purposes of the post conviction act again i think that the court because this was a timely because this was a petition filed in the court that rendered the initial final have killed accepted the plea and impose a sentence a first time offender probation and because a notice of appeal was filed from  case and i think not only that but i think that for the purposes of considering whether this was imprisoned in the penitentiary all of the cases that that consider this issue were right on whether this was a collateral consequence i mean even the language of careerist said you know this is they can't control what other agencies do you know collateral has been defined as  something that that has it not to do with the mean chair length of the sentence it's typically with respect to something that other agencies do that are not under the control of the trial court where this isn't a collateral issue i mean what could be more direct than something that's under the control of this court to correct its a void sentence it's part of this court's inherent authority to correct because again this court has courts of the state of illinois have brief but i think you know career i'm like my client who is not dealing with a point science issue i think most cases have held that you consider avoid sentence at any time and the second issue with career is again career didn't deal with the standing issue as a jurisdictional issue career dealt with it in terms of in a trip or titian of the post conviction act but again i don't think that that implicates jurisdiction it wasn't it wasn't addressed in career and it wasn't discussed in those terms secondly i also think courageous discussion on which i'm sure this quote is from earlier with but which said there would never made a distinction for the purposes of  federal constitutional law between interact in a collateral consequence is instructive again for the point that i made about what this court said roger gopal it says because the state has nothing to do with defendant's deportation and has no control over the actions of the ins we cannot say that defendants possible deportation renders defendant a person in prison in the penitentiary but the distinction is here we have a situation where it's not ins controlling the nature of the judgment rendered by the illinois trial court this is a situation where we have the trial court and in direct control over whether the courts of this state exceed their statutory authority in imposing a sentence and this is something that it's not worth  again my position is that the lack of standing in other words the way that they the courts have addressed the requirement under the act that you play in prison in the penitentiary does not it does not implicate subject matter jurisdiction and for the purposes of can to consider whether your trial deceased but i believe that the rule in terms of blue deceased is that that it ends litigation of the matter but my client's not to cease and my client is facing some very real consequences from from a conviction now it's not a conviction it's a it's a an entry of guilt and sentence it's not a judgment of conviction but he's facing some very real consequences as a couple as a as a result of matter of what petition you find can you seek relief from the post conviction here when it doesn't apply you know i mean that they're entering prayers no your interest or yes it you can because it's very important and again but they were the reasoning i think their reasoning and the reasoning underlying korea and magical paul is the collateral consequences that peak threat of being deported under by ins has never been held to be a direct consequence in illinois but this is different because a direct with dries clean it would certainly withdraw the specter of inadmissibility because the problem is is that under federal law first time offender probation at least in the seventh circuit and at the time that he entered his his plea and got the sentences deportable and he only in the room portion of the country that i and i haven't updated all my immigration law at this point but the only question a country where you can get a sentence a first time offender probation and not be subject to the terms of the federal immigration naturalization law is in the ninth circuit so there's a federal equal went to first time offender probation and there's obviously the state law but under the seventh circuit they both can get you kicked out of the country so i mean he has a bit you know he has a consequence but again i don't think the court necessarily has to go down the path of career to decide that it has the  is the way to interpret imprisoned in the penitentiary and the way it be interpreted in part it was the collateral consequences question that i read to you in terms of how they were reading and they relied on all the southern illinois law and some federal h and talked about really how it's not within the purview of the act expunge people's records for the purposes of controlling what a federal agency does this is different because it's this court controlling where the trial court still and i think that's the distinguishing factor from corella i think that's something sister friend and i and again i don't think this is something that's going to come up in every immigration case but you know the  from an equitable standpoint and i'm i mean i know you don't necessarily think the equities apply here but this is something where you know every party involved thought that he was standing the sentence that was going to  be not a deportation issue that if he successfully completed there wasn't going to be a judgment of conviction and that only if you violated the terms of the first time offender probation he was going going to be subject to a judgment of conviction and we were wrong and everybody was wrong and so i don't think it's a from an equitable standpoint i don't think it's fair to me he imprisoned in the penitentiary i batter to him particularly g concerns a party's right to make a legal claim before the court and here the circuit court found that the defendant does not have a right to challenge it's his guilty plea under the post conviction hearing act that he had no right to bring the claim before the court i mean taking appeals from their judgment offending player standing before this court only in a limited sense he's only vested with authority to challenge what the circuit court ruled on the question of standing does he have the right to be in front of the court the does not go beyond the scope of that beyond the scope of that question as the same logic as applied in the flowers decision that as far as what how expansive did the jurisdiction of the appellate court is where the trial court lecturer section presents a very narrow question and the same logic from that applies here to this case said the supreme court's decision in korea is directly on point with this case and held that the defendants who completed their sentences they have no standing under the postcondition hearing act because they're no longer  right to make a claim the problem is again that we're dealing with a void sentence and as you pointed out white holds that regardless of whether the nurse to the defendant benefit it's it's illegal sentence is void and he can be entitled to withdraw us please i would submit to you that even ah in this case is a little different even than white because although the first time offender probation in route to his benefit it was a benefit that it was for better reasons that he thought he was getting it was based on what the trial court told him about the nature a first time for offender probation and we know that the trial court was wrong and i think under ball because of the nature first time offender probation it's not anywhere kin to probation under the uniform code of corrections you have adjudication you have no judgment of conviction  got picked up with been in the country for since he was seven years old he was a legal resident alien and he played guilty under the assumption that this was not going to be a problem down the road  he discovered this problem years later when he contemplated roomies legal resident alien tard and now he's in the situation not only disquiet has the authority to correct and because
