PRESIDING JUSTICE MYERSCOUGH, specially concurring: I specially concur. I also would affirm. In all three cases, defendants had completed their sanctions at the time of hearing so the court could not revoke probation. 730 ILCS 5/5—6—4(i) (West 2008). However, I respectfully disagree with the majority that the State’s Attorney has no authority to object timely to the issuance of sanctions in lieu of revocation. Both the court and State’s Attorney are entitled to notice of sanctions, and both may object to sanctions and either seek or issue a revocation upon proper notice to defendants. Probation’s issuance of the notice does not deprive the State’s Attorney or court of the authority over defendants’ probation.
