In Re Marriage of Peters-Farrell

The following question was certified pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 308 (155 Ill. 2d R. 308) from the circuit court of Cook County to our appellate court:

“Are requests for pharmaceutical records from [a] pharmacy protected under the Illinois Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities [Confidentiality] Act?”

The appellate court answered this question in the affirmative. 345 Ill. App. 3d 603. We granted leave to appeal from the appellate court’s judgment. 177 Ill. 2d R. 315(a). For the following reasons, we vacate the judgment of the appellate court and dismiss this appeal as moot.
