COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania v. Michael Lavon THOMAS, Appellant.

Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

Decided December 2, 1977.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard A. Gutman, Philadelphia, for appellant.

Steven H. Goldblatt and Deborah E. Glass, Assistant District Attorneys, and F. Emmett Fitzpatrick, District Attorney, Philadelphia, for Commonwealth, appellee.

Before WATKINS, President Judge, and JACOBS, HOFFMAN, CERCONE, PRICE, VAN der VOORT and SPAETH, JJ.


HOFFMAN, Judge:

Appellant contends that he is entitled to discharge because trial counsel was ineffective for failing to raise a meritorious Rule 1100 claim in post-verdict motions. See Rule 1123, Pa.R.Crim.P.; 19 P.S.Appendix. We remand for a hearing on trial counsel's alleged ineffectiveness in failing to preserve an arguably meritorious Rule 1100 claim. Commonwealth v. Hubbard, 472 Pa. 259, 372 A.2d 687
