People v. Rial

A jury convicted the defendant, Larry Rial, of attempted murder, armed robbery, aggravated kidnapping, and armed violence. The trial court vacated the armed violence conviction and sentenced the defendant to concurrent terms of 30, 30, and 15 years’ imprisonment, respectively. This court affirmed his conviction on appeal. (People v. Rial (3d Dist. 1983), No. 3— 83—0276 (unpublished order under Supreme Court Rule 23).) Thereafter, the defendant filed a post-conviction petition, which the trial court dismissed without a hearing. The defendant appeals that dismissal. We affirm.
