IN THE
SUPREME COURT
OF
THE STATE OF ILLINOIS

(Docket No. 125141)

LORI G. LEVIN, Appellee, v. THE RETIREMENT BOARD OF THE COUNTY
EMPLOYEES’ AND OFFICERS’ ANNUITY AND BENEFIT FUND OF COOK COUNTY,
Appellant.

Opinion filed May 21, 2020.

PER CURIAM

OPINION

¶1 In this case, one Justice of this court has recused himself, 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, J., took no part.
