and Anna Doman, the People are unable to proceed to trial in this matter. See People v. Young 82

2. On June 18, 2010, this Court entered an order suppressing as evidence certain evidence

offered under both a motion to admit prior bad acts and a motion to admit evidence under 725 ILCS

5/115-7.4, to wit: (1) testimony of Victoria Connelly; and (2) testimony of Eric Peterson and Anna

Doman.

3. The suppression order substantially impairs the state's ability to proceed with this case.
