Description
JUSTICE HARRISON delivered the opinion of the court: The defendant, Ethel Lewis, was charged by indictment with unlawful delivery of a controlled substance (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1987,
ch. 56 1/2, par. 1401(c)). She was alleged to have delivered on November 3, 1988, less than one gram of a substance containing
cocaine to an undercover officer. In September of 1990 a jury found her guilty as charged. Following the denial of her pro
se motion for a new trial, in which she asserted the incompetence of trial counsel, she was sentenced on December 12, 1990,
to probation for a term of 30 months conditioned upon, inter alia, the performance of 100 hours of public service during each
year of probation and the serving of a period of home detention for 360 days. Defendant filed a notice of appeal in the appellate
court on January 4, 1991, having filed no post-sentencing motion of any kind.
