The sole error assigned is that the court permitted the jury\u2019s verdict to be returned while plaintiff in error was absent from the court room.\nThis identical contention was advanced by plaintiff in error in a petition which was filed in the trial court under the Post-Conviction Hearing Act. A judgment was entered in the Post-Conviction case denying the prayer of the petition and plaintiff in error did not attempt to seek a review of that judgment. The judgment of the trial court in that case is res judicata. (People v. Byrd, 21 Ill.2d 114; Merkie v. People, 15 Ill.2d 539; People v. Lewis, 2 Ill.2d 328.) The question is therefore not now open for consideration.\nThe judgment of the criminal court of Cook County is therefore affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
