Superior Court of Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court

OPINION BY

COLVILLE, J.:

This case is a direct appeal from judgment of sentence. Appellant argues the court erred in denying his pre-sentence motion to withdraw his guilty pleas. He also contends the court abused its sentencing discretion. Finding the court was wrong to deny Appellant’s request to withdraw his pleas, we vacate the judgment of sentence and remand with directions that the court order Appellant’s pleas withdrawn and conduct proceedings as needed to resolve this case. Given our decision, we need not consider Appellant’s sentencing claim.
