SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION

GUILD, Justice.

The conviction in this case was affirmed, Ill., 274 N.E.2d 467, and we remanded the case to the Trial Court to conduct a hearing under the provisions of the 'Cannabis Control Act' and report back to this court its findings within a short date.

Now, however, in view of The People v. McCabe, Supreme Court Docket #42674, filed Oct. 15, 1971, rehearing denied November 24, 1971, 49 Ill.2d 338, 275 N.E.2d 407 (1971), and The People v. Hudson, Supreme Court Docket #43994, Ill., 276 N.E.2d 345, there is no necessity for a hearing under the 'Cannabis Control Act.'

Therefore, the judgment of the trial court is reversed.

Judgment reversed.

THOMAS J. MORAN, P.J., and ABRAHAMSON, J., concur.
