Appellate Court of Illinois December 31, 1986, 2-85-1014 (People v. Allen)

JUSTICE HOPE

delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant, Ronnie Allen, appeals from the dismissal of his post-conviction petition and argues that his post-conviction counsel inadequately represented him by failing to examine the trial record or to amend his pro se post-conviction petition. Defendant also argues that the trial court erred in denying his petition without an evidentiary hearing.
