OPINION BY

DONOHUE, J.:

Appellant, Stefon Johnson (“Johnson”), appeals from the judgment of sentence entered on January 28, 2015 in the Court of Common Pleas, Erie County. Upon review, we find no support for Johnson’s claim that the sentencing court abused its discretion by imposing a sentence that is manifestly excessive. We further conclude that the sentencing court properly considered Johnson’s prior record score, as, opposed to the number of prior convictions in his criminal record, in determining that Johnson was a repeat felony offender. We therefore affirm.
