2023 IL 127412

                                              IN THE
                                     SUPREME COURT
                                                  OF
                               THE STATE OF ILLINOIS

                                         (Docket No. 127412)

     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).

¶2          CUNNINGHAM and ROCHFORD, JJ., took no part.
