2021 IL 126840

                                          IN THE
                                 SUPREME COURT
                                              OF
                           THE STATE OF ILLINOIS

                                (Docket No. 126840, 126849)

                      DANIEL D. EASTERDAY et al., Appellants, v.
                     THE VILLAGE OF DEERFIELD et al., Appellees.

                              Opinion filed November 18, 2021.

        PER CURIAM

                                          OPINION

¶1       In this case, one Justice of this court has recused himself, 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      MICHAEL J. BURKE, J., took no part.
