Description

Following a jury trial in the circuit court of Cook County, Douglas Cihlar was found guilty of rape, burglary and home invasion and sentenced to six years in the penitentiary. The appellate court affirmed the conviction. (106 Ill. App.3d 824.) Almost two years later the defendant filed a petition for relief under the Post-Conviction Hearing Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 122-1 et seq.) and a motion under section 72 of the Civil Practice Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 110, par. 72) (now section 2-1401 of the Code of Civil Procedure (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 110, par. 2-1401)). Both were dismissed by the circuit court without an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court reversed the dismissals and remanded for an evidentiary hearing. (125 Ill. App.3d 204.) We allowed the People's petition for leave to appeal under our Rule 315 (94 Ill.2d R. 315).
