DWAYNE CHANEY, Defendant-Appellant." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "PRESIDING JUSTICE QUINN\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nDefendant Dwayne Chaney was charged in a six-count indictment with two counts of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1 (West 2004)) and four counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.6 (West 2004)). Due to his prior criminal history, the charges against him constituted Class 2 felonies. Following a bench trial, defendant was convicted on two counts of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon and two counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, which were merged with the first two counts. At sentencing, the court noted defendant\u2019s prior criminal history, and thereafter sentenced him as a Class X offender to two concurrent terms of seven years\u2019 imprisonment. On appeal, defendant contends that he was subjected to improper double enhancement of his sentences where the same prior conviction was used to first elevate the seriousness of the charged offenses and later used to increase the classification of his sentence. We agree. We vacate the sentencing order and remand this case for resentencing.\nBACKGROUND\nThe evidence adduced at trial shows that about 3 p.m. on June 30, 2005, off-duty police officer Millaun Brown was in his home at 7221 South Hermitage Avenue in Chicago when he heard 12 to 15 gunshots. Officer Brown then went outside and saw five or six black males dressed in white T-shirts and jeans running northbound on Hermitage toward him. Officer Brown did not recognize the men, but he testified that they were shouting his name and carrying guns in their hands.\nAs the men ran past, Officer Brown pulled out his gun and displayed his police badge. He then looked southbound and saw defendant running toward him with a gun in his hand. Officer Brown ordered defendant to stop and drop his gun. In response, defendant stopped in front of the house next to Officer Brown\u2019s home. Although defendant testified at trial that he did not have a gun, Officer Brown testified that he recovered defendant\u2019s gun after defendant tossed it to the side.\nAs defendant lay on the ground, Officer Brown yelled for his neighbors to call 9-1-1. Thereafter, Officers Aceves and Leonard arrived and placed defendant in custody. Officer Brown handed defendant\u2019s .45-caliber handgun to Officer Aceves. The gun had a bullet jammed in its chamber, which indicated that it misfired, and a clip with three unfired rounds. Officer Aceves later inventoried the gun and ammunition. Defendant admitted to Officer Aceves that he did not have a firearms owner\u2019s identification card.\nSubsequently, defendant was indicted on six counts. Counts I and II resulted from defendant\u2019s unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, which stemmed from his possession of a handgun (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1 (West 2004)) and ammunition (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1 (West 2004)), respectively. Counts III through VI pertained to aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.6 (West 2004)).\nDuring a pretrial conference on defendant\u2019s bond, the assistant State\u2019s Attorney (ASA) argued that defendant was subject to mandatory Class X felony sentencing if convicted based on two prior Class 2 felony convictions from 2000 and 2001 for violations of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act (720 ILCS 570/100 et seq. (West 2004)).\nAt trial, the State introduced a certified copy of conviction, which showed that defendant had been previously convicted of delivery of a controlled substance on February 26, 2001. The conviction also constituted a violation of his probation from a March 2000 conviction for possession of a controlled substance. The ASA further commented, \u201cFor the limited purpose of satisfying the element of the charge.\u201d Defendant stipulated to the conviction, and it was admitted into evidence. The record is devoid of that document.\nFollowing the parties\u2019 closing arguments, the trial court found defendant guilty on counts I and II, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and counts III and V, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, which merged with the first two counts. The trial court identified counts I and II as Class 2 felonies.\nAt sentencing, defendant presented mitigating evidence such as his recent employment as a construction worker. Subsequently, the court delivered defendant\u2019s sentence as follows:\n\u201cAll right. Well, number one as far as the prior convictions, the law requires me to sentence you as a Class X offender. This is your third Class 2 or greater conviction and the law \u2014 the Legislature has decided that any person in that circumstance is to be sentenced as a Class X offender. I am required to do that. Now, I have entered judgment on the finding of guilty. I entered it actually \u2014 I merged a lot of the counts into Count 1 which is the UUW by a felon and Count 2 which is also UUW by a felon for bullets. One is the gun and one is the bullets because the gun doesn\u2019t have to be loaded in an unlawful use of a weapon by a felon charge.\nI have considered the facts of this case, those matters in aggravation and mitigation; both the statutory factors in aggravation and mitigation as pointed out to me by the parties. I also considered the arguments and the statements made by the parties and based on everything involved, it\u2019s the sentence order of this Court that you serve a period of seven years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. These sentences are to run concurrent to each other; at the same time.\u201d\nThe court then awarded defendant 43 days\u2019 credit for pretrial incarceration.\nThereafter, defendant filed a motion to reconsider and for a new trial, which the circuit court denied. Defendant did not file a motion to challenge his sentence. That said, defendant now appeals his sentence.\nANALYSIS\nThe sole issue before this court is whether the circuit court erroneously subjected defendant to double enhancement by using his previous Class 2 felony convictions to elevate the seriousness of the charged offenses in the case at bar, unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, to Class 2 felonies and then used the same prior convictions to sentence defendant as a Class X felon. Although the imposition of a sentence is a matter within the trial court\u2019s discretion (People v. Jones, 168 Ill. 2d 367, 373 (1995)), this issue involves a question of law, and thus, we review defendant\u2019s sentence de novo.\nWe first note that defendant neither objected to his sentence at sentencing nor filed a posttrial motion to reconsider his sentence. Rather, he waited until appeal to raise this issue for the first time. As such, the State argues that defendant waived this issue. People v. Reed, 177 Ill. 2d 389, 391 (1997). Defendant responds that the sentence was void and thus is reviewable at any time. In the alternative, defendant invokes the plain error doctrine pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 615(a) (134 Ill. 2d R. 615(a)) and contends that his counsel provided ineffective assistance by not objecting to the sentence.\nAlthough defendant failed to properly preserve this issue for appeal, our supreme court has recognized that a sentence, or a portion thereof, that is not authorized by statute is void. People v. Thompson, 209 Ill. 2d 19, 23 (2004). In Thompson, our supreme court noted that the defendant was convicted of two offenses of differing classes. The court then held:\n\u201cPursuant to section 5 \u2014 8\u20142(a) of the Code, the circuit court could impose an extended-term sentence only on the greater offense, i.e., aggravated battery. Accordingly, the extended-term sentence imposed on the order of the protection conviction was unauthorized by statute and void.\u201d Thompson, 209 Ill. 2d at 24.\nThe court further stated:\n\u201cWe have very recently reiterated that a sentence which does not conform to a statutory requirement is void. People v. Pinkonsly, 207 Ill. 2d 555, 569 (2003), quoting People v. Arna, 168 Ill. 2d 107, 113 (1995). As the circuit court here lacked the statutory authority to impose an extended-term sentence on the conviction for violation of an order of protection, the extended-term sentence is void.\nWe now turn to the question of whether the defendant may challenge the void order in this appeal. It is a well-settled principle of law that a void order may be attacked at any time or in any court, either directly or collaterally.\u201d Thompson, 209 Ill. 2d at 24-25.\nIn the case at bar, even though defendant\u2019s sentence fell within the statutory parameters of 3 to 14 years, his sentence as a Class X felon does not conform to the statute and thus is void. As such, we review this issue pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 615(a) (134 Ill. 2d R. 615(a)).\nSection 5 \u2014 5\u20143(c)(8) of the Unified Code of Corrections (Code) states:\n\u201cWhen a defendant, over the age of 21 years, is convicted of a Class 1 or Class 2 felony, after having twice been convicted in any state or federal court of an offense that contains the same elements as an offense now classified in Illinois as a Class 2 or greater Class felony and such charges are separately brought and tried and arise out of different series of acts, such defendant shall be sentenced as a Class X offender.\u201d 730 ILCS 5/5 \u2014 5\u20143(c)(8) (West 2004).\nOur supreme court has stated that double enhancement occurs in one of two situations: (1) where the same factor constitutes an element of the offense and serves as a basis for imposing a harsher sentence than otherwise would have been imposed; or (2) where the same factor is used twice to elevate the seriousness of the offense itself. People v. Phelps, 211 Ill. 2d 1, 12-13 (2004). That said, a double enhancement is not erroneous where the legislature clearly expresses an intent to allow double enhancement. Phelps, 211 Ill. 2d at 15.\nThe parties agree that defendant had two prior convictions for violations of section 401(d) of the Illinois Controlled Substances Act (Act) (720 ILCS 570/401(d) (West 2004)). That section provides in pertinent part:\n\u201cAny person who violates this Section with regard to any other amount of a controlled or counterfeit substance classified in Schedules I or II, or an analog thereof, which is (i) a narcotic drug *** is guilty of a Class 2 felony.\u201d 720 ILCS 570/401(d) (West 2004).\nIn the case at bar, defendant was convicted of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon pursuant to section 24 \u2014 1.1(a) of the Criminal Code of 1961 (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1(a) (West 2004)). Section 5 \u2014 24\u20141.1(e) provides in pertinent part:\n\u201cSentence. Violation of this Section by a person not confined in a penal institution shall be a Class 3 felony for which the person, if sentenced to a term of imprisonment, shall be sentenced to no less than 2 years and no more than 10 years. Violation of this Section by a person not confined in a penal institution who has been convicted of a forcible felony, a felony violation of Article 24 of this Code or of the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act, stalking or aggravated stalking, or a Class 2 or greater felony under the Illinois Controlled Substances Act or the Cannabis Control Act is a Class 2 felony for which the person, if sentenced to a term of imprisonment, shall be sentenced to not less than 3 years and not more than 14 years.\u201d 720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1(e) (West 2004).\nAlthough unlawful use of a weapon would normally constitute a Class 3 felony (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1(e) (West 2004)), defendant\u2019s prior convictions for Class 2 felonies under the Act (720 ILCS 570/100 et seq. (West 2004)) resulted in the offenses in the case at bar constituting Class 2 felonies (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1(e) (West 2004)). Accordingly, defendant has been convicted of a Class 2 felony on three separate occasions.\nBased on defendant\u2019s present conviction constituting a Class 2 felony conviction, the State argues that section 5 \u2014 5\u20143(c)(8) of the Code mandated the trial court to sentence defendant as a Class X felon. Defendant counters that the same prior offenses cannot be used to first increase the classification of his present offense and then increase the classification of his sentence. In his appellate brief, defendant asserts that since his possession of a weapon would have constituted aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, a Class 4 felony pursuant to section 24 \u2014 1.6(a) of the Criminal Code (720 ILCS 5/24\u2014 1.6(a) (West 2004)), absent his prior convictions, his indictment for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon constituted an enhancement.\nAn argument nearly identical to defendant\u2019s contention was rejected by our supreme court in People v. Gonzalez, 151 Ill. 2d 79 (1992), where the court affirmed a defendant\u2019s extended-term sentence imposed pursuant to section 5 \u2014 5\u20143.2(b)(1) of the Code on the defendant\u2019s conviction for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. The court explained in pertinent part:\n\u201c[S]ections 24 \u2014 1 and 24 \u2014 1.1 create separate, independent offenses. In enacting section 24 \u2014 1.1, the legislature determined it should be criminal for a felon to possess any firearm, in any situation. In enacting section 24 \u2014 1, the legislature decided that it should be criminal for persons other than those exempted by section 24 \u2014 2 to possess certain weapons, in certain, defined manners. Accordingly, under this scheme, it is always a felony offense for a felon to possess a firearm even though a nonfelon who possesses the same firearm in the same manner may be guilty of only a misdemeanor or of no crime at all, depending on the facts.\nWe therefore conclude that section 24 \u2014 1.1 is not merely an \u2018upgraded\u2019 version of the offense created by section 24 \u2014 1; rather, it is a separate, distinct offense. The fact that the offender must be a convicted felon is merely an element of the crime, it is not an \u2018enhancement\u2019 provision. Defendant\u2019s contention that his crime was a felony solely because it was \u2018upgraded\u2019 or \u2018enhanced\u2019 is therefore incorrect.\nAccordingly, we reject defendant\u2019s argument that section 5 \u2014 5\u2014 3.2(b)(1) [permitting extended-term sentenced] cannot be applied to a conviction for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. We hold that section 5 \u2014 5\u20143.2(b)(1) applies to convictions obtained under section 24 \u2014 1.1 in the same manner as it applies to all other felonies.\u201d (Emphasis in original.) Gonzalez, 151 Ill. 2d at 87-88.\nIn addition to Gonzalez, the State relies upon the holding in People v. Thomas, 171 Ill. 2d 207 (1996). There the supreme court reversed the appellate court\u2019s holding that the use of the defendant\u2019s prior two felony convictions to classify him as a Class X felon pursuant to section 5 \u2014 5\u20143(c)(8) and also considering the same convictions as an aggravating factor in sentencing the defendant beyond the six-year minimum term constituted double enhancement. Therein the court stated:\n\u201cContrary to the appellate court\u2019s finding, the instant case does not involve a double enhancement. Section 5 \u2014 5\u20143(c)(8) does not elevate the class of a crime, but merely sets forth criteria under which a defendant shall be sentenced according to the guidelines for a Class X felon. See People v. Jameson, 162 Ill. 2d 282, 290 (1994) (under section 5 \u2014 5\u20143(c)(8), a defendant\u2019s sentence is increased because of prior felony convictions, but the classification of offense with which the defendant is charged and convicted remains the same). Under this statute, the legislature manifested its intent to subject certain defendants convicted of Class 1 and Class 2 felonies to an enhanced sentencing range of from 6 to 30 years. Therefore, defendant\u2019s offense was not enhanced from a Class 1 to a Class X felony; he was simply subject to a single punishment enhancement to the Class X range.\u201d (Emphasis in original and omitted.) Thomas, 171 Ill. 2d at 224.\nThe defendant in Thomas had been convicted of second degree murder, a Class 1 felony. Like defendant at bar, he had been previously convicted of two separate Class 2 felonies. However, the defendant\u2019s second degree murder conviction constituted a Class 1 felony with no consideration of the defendant\u2019s prior Class 2 convictions. In the instant case, defendant\u2019s conviction for unlawful use of a weapon by a felon constituted a Class 2 felony only because of his prior Class 2 felony convictions under the Act. 720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1(e) (West 2004).\nIn a motion to cite additional authority, the defendant asks us to consider the recent decision in People v. Owens, 377 Ill. App. 3d 302 (2007). There, the first division of the First District considered whether a defendant who had been convicted of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.6 (West 2004)) was required to be sentenced as a Class X offender where he, similar to defendant at bar, had been previously sentenced for two prior Class 2 convictions. Section 24 \u2014 1.6(d) of the Criminal Code (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.6(d) (West 2004)) provides:\n\u201cSentence. Aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a person who has been previously convicted of a felony in this State or another jurisdiction is a Class 2 felony for which the person shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than 3 years and not more than 7 years.\u201d\nThe Owens court discussed our supreme court\u2019s holding in People v. Hobbs, 86 Ill. 2d 242 (1981), which held a trial court\u2019s use of a prior felony conviction to first increase the defendant\u2019s current conviction from a misdemeanor to a Class 4 felony and then use the same prior conviction to impose an extended-term sentence under section 5 \u2014 5\u2014 3.2(b) of the Code constituted improper double enhancement. The court then set forth the same argument that the State proffers in the case at bar. The court framed the State\u2019s argument as follows:\n\u201cAlthough the State concedes the trial court engaged in double enhancement in this case, it contends double enhancement is proper when determining eligibility for Class X sentencing because it is specifically authorized by the legislature in section 5 \u2014 5\u2014 3(c)(8). Given the mandatory nature of Class X sentencing, the State contends there is sufficiently clear legislative intent to permit double enhancement in this type of case.\u201d Owens, 377 Ill. App. 3d at 304-05.\nThe first division noted that the State relied on Thomas, 171 Ill. 2d at 207, which \u201cupheld Hobbs but limited its application to \u2018situations where the same prior conviction is used both to enhance the class of an offense and to enhance the punishment for that offense.\u2019 Thomas, 171 Ill. 2d at 226.\u201d Owens, 377 Ill. App. 3d at 305. The first division concluded:\n\u201c[W]e find nothing in the statutory language of section 5 \u2014 -5\u2014 3(c)(8) *** expressly indicates [that] the legislature intended double enhancement to be permissible in Class X sentencing.\nHere, the record reflects defendant had only two prior Class 2 or higher felony convictions \u2014 convictions for delivery of a controlled substance and for possession of a controlled substance. Similar to Hobbs, the use of the same felony to enhance both the class of the aggravated UUW offense and the punishment for that offense amounted to an impermissible double enhancement.\u201d Owens, 377 Ill. App. 3d at 305.\nWe agree with the reasoning in Owens. We further note that in Gonzalez, the court held that a trial court\u2019s authority to sentence a defendant to an extended term pursuant to section 5 \u2014 5\u20143.2(b)(1) is\n\u201climited, of course, by the general prohibition against using the same factor both as an element of [the] offense and as an aggravating factor at sentencing. [Citation.] Thus, section 5 \u2014 5\u20143.2(b)(1) could not be permissibly applied where the same prior felony conviction is used both to establish the offense and to impose the extended term. However, as discussed, that did not occur here.\u201d (Emphasis in original.) Gonzalez, 151 Ill. 2d at 88.\nThe defendant in Gonzalez had multiple prior felony convictions, only one of which was used to establish the offense.\nHere, as in Owens, the defendant only had two prior Class 2 convictions. Consequently, at least one of these prior felony convictions was used both to establish the offense as a Class 2 felony and then also used to impose Class X sentencing. This constitutes an impermissible double enhancement pursuant to Gonzales, Hobbs, and Owens.\nCONCLUSION\nAccordingly, we vacate the trial court\u2019s sentencing order and remand this case for a new sentencing hearing, where the court is to sentence defendant to a term of imprisonment of not less then 3 years and not more than 14 years pursuant to section 24 \u2014 1.1(e) of the Criminal Code (720 ILCS 5/24 \u2014 1.1(e) (West 2004)). In addition, pursuant to People v. Tolliver, 363 Ill. App. 3d 94 (2006), the trial court should merge counts I and II. Finally, we deny defendant\u2019s request to set a bond.\nSentence vacated and remanded with instructions.\nTHEIS and CUNNINGHAM, JJ., concur.", "type": "majority", "author": "PRESIDING JUSTICE QUINN" } ], "attorneys": [ "Michael J.
