SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION UPON REHEARING JUSTICE REINHARD delivered the opinion of the court:  We allowed defendant’s petition for rehearing asking us to reconsider a portion of our opinion in which we stated: “The State in one sentence has suggested that the latter part of the order was improperly imposed as a sanction. The defendant has not responded to this statement or directed us to any authority for imposition of such a sanction without a hearing under these facts. Under these circumstances, we shall vacate that part of the order.” In the petition, defendant contends that the State, rather than he, waived the issue of the sanctions by failing adequately to argue and cite authority and by not specifying the motion to reconsider the sane-tions in its notice of appeal. He also claims that he did address the issue in a portion of his appellate brief and that the record of the proceedings below reflects that there was a hearing on the sanctions imposed. The defendant, however, has not availed himself of the opportunity on rehearing to advance any arguments which would support the extent of the sanctions imposed by the trial court. We disagree that the record supports defendant’s assertions in the petition for rehearing, and, as defendant has not presented us with any authority to support the sanctions imposed by the trial court, the opinion will remain as written. Affirmed in part; vacated in part and remanded. DUNN and INGLIS, JJ., concur.
