        "text": "Mr. Justice Solfisburg\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nIn 1961, the defendant entered a plea of guilty in the circuit court of Saline County to an indictment charging him with the crime of burglary. Judgment was entered on the plea and the defendant was sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of not less than two nor more than seven years.\nThe only error assigned is that the trial court erred in denying defendant\u2019s motion for a discharge on the ground that he had not been brought to trial within four months. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1959, chap. 38, par. 633.1.) We find it unnecessary to consider the arguments advanced in support of this contention. The defendant, represented by both appointed counsel and retained counsel, voluntarily entered a plea of guilty after the denial of his motion for a discharge. His plea waived any error which might have arisen from the denial of his motion. People v. Simmons, 26 Ill.2d 400; People v. Lybarger, 22 Ill.2d 170, 173.\nThe defendant contends that he is not precluded from raising the question on review because the trial court record shows that the court accepted the plea of guilty \u201cwithout prejudice to defendant\u2019s right to appeal the question of this court\u2019s jurisdiction.\u201d The defendant argues that by reason of the alleged erroneous denial of the motion for discharge, the trial court lost jurisdiction over the indictment and over the person of the defendant. We have held that an erroneous denial of a motion for discharge does not deprive the court of jurisdiction. (People v. Utterback, 385 Ill. 239, 243.) The. contention that the trial court-lost jurisdiction cannot be sustained.\nThe judgment of the circuit court of Saline County is affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.",
