Before NIX, C.J., and LARSEN, FLAHERTY, McDERMOTT, HUTCHINSON, ZAPPALA and PAPADAKOS, JJ.

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

The order of Superior Court affirming the appellant's conviction for third degree murder is affirmed. While the killing was unintentional there was plainly sufficient evidence to show that the appellant "consciously disregarded an unjustified and extremely high risk that his actions might cause death or serious bodily harm."
