1Opinion of the Court

McEWEN, Judge:

Appellant has taken this appeal from the order of June 9, 1987, which denied his post-verdict motions.

For the reasons appearing herein, we are constrained to quash this appeal.

“It is unquestionably the law that a defendant may appeal only from a final judgment of sentence and an *629appeal from any prior order will be quashed as interlocutory.” Commonwealth v. Myers, 457 Pa. 317, 319, 322 A.2d 131, 132 (1974).…
