Defendant\u2019s brief raises issues concerning the sufficiency of (1) the court\u2019s admonitions concerning rights to counsel, waiver of trial by jury and the consequences of a plea of guilty, and (2) whether the court properly determined that the plea was voluntary and had a basis in fact.\nThe State\u2019s Attorney neither filed a brief nor appeared and argued the cause in this court. Review of the merits of such issues, absent brief and argument in behalf of the prosecution, would propel this court into the role of an advocate contrary to the principles of proper judicial review. People v. Spinelli, 83 Ill.App.2d 391, 227 N.E.2d 779, and People v. Lio, 108 Ill.App.2d 443, 247 N.E.2d 912.\nThe judgment of the conviction is reversed and the cause is remanded with directions to vacate the plea of guilty, in the event defendant moves so to do.\nReversed and remanded.\nCRAVEN and SIMKINS, JJ., concur.",
