2023 IL 127443

                                            IN THE
                                   SUPREME COURT
                                                OF
                             THE STATE OF ILLINOIS

                                       (Docket No. 127443)

     THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Appellee, v. DEMETRIUS JOHNSON,
                                  Appellant.

                                  Opinion filed March 23, 2023.

       PER CURIAM

                                            OPINION

¶1         In this case, one Justice of this court has recused herself, 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        ROCHFORD, J., took no part.
