Description

Defendant Mario J. Gomez appeals from his sentence, following conviction for residential burglary. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 19-3.) Gomez was sentenced to the mandatory minimum for the Class I felony offense, that being four years imprisonment in the Department of Corrections. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 1005-8-1(a)(4).) He seeks to raise two issues on appeal: (1) whether this sentence violated the United States and Illinois constitutional bans against cruel and unusual punishment (U.S. Const., amend. VIII; Ill. Const. 1970, art. I, sec. 11), and (2) whether his sentence violates the equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the United States Constitution. U.S. Const., amend. XIV.
