        "text": "Mr. JUSTICE LORENZ\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nFollowing a bench trial, defendant was found guilty of unlawful use of weapons in violation of section 24 \u2014 1(a) (10) of the Criminal Code. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 38, par. 24 \u2014 1(a)(10).) He was sentenced to a term of 1 year. He appeals contending that he did not knowingly and understandingly waive his right to a jury trial.\nThe report of proceedings pertinent to this appeal shows the following to have taken place on March 11, 1974, before Judge James A. Condon:\n\u201cTHE CLERK: James Green? 27, 2, Judge.\n* #\nTHE COURT: Are you ready for trial?\nJAMES GREEN: My lawyer isn\u2019t here.\nTHE COURT: Who\u2019s your lawyer?\nJAMES GREEN: I have the Public Defender.\nTHE COURT: You have the Public Defender?\nJAMES GREEN: I am suppose to be given one.\nTHE COURT: Mr. Public Defender?\nApparently \u2014 he says you were appointed.\nThere is nothing in the record, but talk to him. I will appoint you Public Defender.\nMR. BRAWLEY: AH right.\nTHE COURT: Let\u2019s pass it.\n(Proceedings halted and resumed.)\nTHE CLERK: James Green? 27, 2, please, Judge.\nTHE COURT: James Green? Freddie James? Are you ready, Mr. Public Defender?\nMR. BRAWLEY: Yes, Your Honor, ready for trial.\nTHE COURT: What is the plea?\nMR. BRAWLEY: Not guilty, Your Honor, Jury would be waived.\nTHE COURT: On all the charges?\nMR. BRAWLEY: Yes, Your Honor.\nTHE COURT: All right, plea of not guilty, jury waived.\u201d\nOpinion\nDefendant contends that he did not knowingly and understandingly waive his right to a jury trial. Relying upon People v. Murrell, 20 Ill.App.3d 789, 314 N.E.2d 467; People v. Brodus, 19 Ill.App.3d 840, 313 N.E.2d 511; People v. Boyd, 5 Ill.App.3d 980, 284 N.E.2d 699, and People v. Baker, 126 Ill.App.2d 1, 262 N.E.2d 7, he argues that his appointed counsel did not have sufficient time to confer with him.\nThe cases upon which defendant rehes have been distinguished on numerous occasions (see, e.g., People v. Durham, 23 Ill.App.3d 737, 320 N.E.2d 144) and are not in- accord with the weight of authority. In People v. Sailor, 43 Ill.2d 256, 253 N.E.2d 397, the supreme court, basing its decision on the professional integrity of counsel and the acquiescence of defendant, held that a defendant is bound by his retained counsel\u2019s waiver of jury trial on his behalf. There can be no doubt that this rule is equally applicable to appointed counsel. People v. Suriwka, 2 Ill.App.3d 384, 276 N.E.2d 490.\nIn the instant case, the report of proceedings indicates that the public defender was appointed and the matter was passed. After some period of time, the proceedings were resumed. Thereafter, in response to the court\u2019s inquiry, the public defender answered ready for trial, pled defendant not guilty, and waived trial by jury on behalf of his client. All the while, defendant stood mute. Moreover, it appears that defendant was no novice in such proceedings. At the hearing in aggravation and mitigation, defendant was shown to have been previously convicted for theft and for three other weapons violations. In these circumstances, we believe that defendant was provided sufficient time to confer with counsel before he waived trial by jury. See People v. Kaprelian, 6 Ill.App.3d 1066, 286 N.E.2d 613; People v. Gay, 4 Ill.App.3d 652, 281 N.E.2d 738.\nThe judgment of the circuit court of Cook County is affirmed. Affirmed.\nDRUCKER and SULLIVAN, JJ., concur.",
