concurring in part and dissenting in part:
Because I would affirm the order of the trial court in total, I respectfully dissent from that portion of the order remanding the matter for further proceeding on the section 2 — 1401 petition. For the reasons articulated by the majority in Mason v. Snyder, 332 Ill. App. 3d 834, 845-846 (2002), I would hold that the trial court could, within its inherent authority to control its docket, dismiss the defendant’s section 2 — 1401 petition.
