THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Appellee, v. GERMEL DOSSIE, Appellant. 
 
 
Opinion filed February 2, 2023. 
PER CURIAM 
OPINION 
 
¶ 1 
 
In this case, two Justices of this court have recused themselves, 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).
