People v. Lenz

On August 7, 1997, defendant, Gary L. Lenz, was charged with driving while his license was revoked (625 ILCS 5/6 — 303(a) (West 1996)). Defendant filed a motion to dismiss the charge, alleging that he had a valid Iowa driver’s license that was issued in February 1995. Following a hearing, the court granted the motion. The State appeals, and we reverse.

We note that defendant has failed to file a brief. However, we find that the record is simple and the claimed error is such that we can decide the issue without the aid of an appellee’s brief. See First Capitol Mortgage Corp. v. Talandis…
