Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Philip P. Lope, Zelienople, for appellant.

Robert F. Hawk, Assistant District Attorney, Butler, for Commonwealth, appellee.

Before SPAETH, JOHNSON and POPOVICH, JJ.

POPOVICH, Judge:

This is an appeal from an order of the Court of Common Pleas, Butler County, summarily denying a petition for post-conviction relief filed by appellant. Because appellant did not receive the assistance of counsel in preparing his Post-Conviction Hearing Act1 (PCHA) petition, we vacate the lower court's order and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Appellant was convicted of robbery by a jury.
