Commonwealth v. Wyant

Superior Court of Pennsylvania

1Opinion of the Court

JACOBS, President Judge:

Appellant Sue Ann Wyant pleaded guilty to one count of endangering welfare of children 1 and two counts of simple assault. 2 Appellant was sentenced to a prison term of not less than one nor more than two years on each of the three counts with the sentences to run consecutively. This appeal attempts to question the legality of the sentences imposed on the simple assault charges. Appellant’s brief prepared by counsel is so defective, however, that we quash the appeal on that basis rather than reaching the merits of the case. 3
