PEOPLE'S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE THE DOCKETING STATEMENT INSTANTER

The People of the State of Illinois, by their Attorney, ANITA ALVAREZ, State's Attorney of Cook

County, Illinois, through ALAN J. SPELLBERG, Assistant State's Attorney, respectfully ask this Honorable

Court for leave to file the Docketing Statement Instanter. The People state the following in support oftheir

Motion.

1. On December 13,2010, Judge Mary Margaret Brosnahan denied

defendant's motion to declare the Illinois Eavesdropping Statute to be

unconstitutional. On November 14,2011, defendant filed an amended

motion to declare the Eavesdropping Statute unconstitutional. On

February 14, 2012, the People filed a response in opposition to

defendant's motion. On June 19,2012, Judge Steven J. Goebel granted

defendant's motion to declare the Illinois Eavesdropping Statute, 720

ILCS 5114, unconstitutional. On June 22, 2012, defendant filed an

emergency motion requesting that the trial court amend its June 19,

2012, order declaring the Illinois Eavesdropping Statute

unconstitutional in order to comply with Supreme Court Rule 18. On

July 26, 2012, the trial court issued an order finding that the Illinois

Eavesdropping Statute, 720 ILCS 5114, is unconstitutional. The court

specifically stated the following "Under Illinois Supreme Court Rule

18, the court finds the Illinois Eavesdropping Statute is

unconstitutional on its face and as applied to defendant. The court

holds that the Illinois Eavesdropping Statute lacks a culpable mental

state, subjects wholly innocent conduct to prosecution, and violates

substantive due process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the

United States Constitution (U.S. Const. Amend. XIV) and Article I,

Section 2, of the Illinois Constitution (Ill. Const. 1970, Art. I, Sec. 2).

The court further finds that the statute cannot be construed in a manner

that would preserve its validity and judgment cannot rest upon an

alternative ground. Notice under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 19 was

given."

2. The People filed their Notice of Appeal on August 9, 2012. The

Clerk' s Office of the Supreme Court of Illinois received the People' s

Notice of Appeal on August 31,2012.

3. The docketing statement was due on September 14, 2012 .

4. The People sincerely apologize for the delay in filing the

docketing statement in this matter; the People were awaiting the

completion of the transcript request forms for the Official Court

Reporter's Office by the trial attorney in this matter in order to tender a

completed docketing statement to this Court. The People submit that

the delay was in no way intended to impede these proceedings. The

People respectfully now request leave to file the docketing statement

in this matter, instanter.

THEREFORE, the People of the State of Illinois respectfully request leave to

file the Docketing Statement Instanter.
