Frankhouser v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation & Parole

CRAIG, President Judge.

This court originally reviewed this case in the context of the attempt of the Allegheny County Public Defender’s office to withdraw as appointed counsel for Robert Frankhouser in Frankhouser v. Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole, 143 Pa.Commonwealth Ct. 80, 598 A.2d 607 (1991) (Frankhouser I). At that time, this court denied the petition for withdrawal and directed counsel to file a brief on behalf of Frankhouser addressing his appeal of the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole’s denial of administrative relief with regard to backtime.
