Collazo v. Illinois State Board of Elections , 2024 IL 130769 ( 2024 )

2024 IL 130769IN THE
SUPREME COURT
OF
THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
(Docket No. 130769)
LESLIE COLLAZO et al., Appellees, v. THE ILLINOIS STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS
et al., Defendants (Emanuel “Chris” Welch, Appellant).
Opinion filed August 23, 2024.
PER CURIAM
OPINION
¶1 In this case, two justices of this court have recused themselves, and the
remaining members of the court are divided so that it is not possible to secure the
constitutionally required concurrence of four judges for a decision (see Ill. Const.
1970, art. VI, § 3). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. The effect of this dismissal
is the same as an affirmance by an equally divided court of the decision under
review but is of no precedential value. See Perlman v. First National Bank of
Chicago, 60 Ill. 2d 529, 530 (1975).
¶2 NEVILLE and CUNNINGHAM, JJ., took no part.
