THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Appellee, v. DEMETRIUS JOHNSON, 
Appellant.

PER CURIAM 
OPINION 
 
¶ 1 
 
In this case, one Justice of this court has recused herself, and the remaining 
members of the court are divided so that it is not possible to secure the 
constitutionally required concurrence of four judges for a decision (see Ill. Const. 
1970, art. VI, § 3). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. The effect of this dismissal 
is the same as an affirmance by an equally divided court of the decision under 
review but is of no precedential value. See Perlman v. First National Bank of 
Chicago, 60 Ill. 2d 529, 530 (1975).
