Opinion

January 14, 1988.

Petition for Allowance of Appeal No. 351 E.D. Allocatur Docket 1986. From Superior Court, 356 Pa. Super. 590, 512 A.2d 52 (1986).


ORDER


Petitioner seeks allowance to appeal from Superior Court's affirmance of his judgment of sentence. 512 A.2d 52. He has challenged the constitutionality of the guidelines which were applied by the sentencing court as violative of the bicameral and presentment provisions of the Pennsylvania constitution. In light of our recent decision in Commonwealth v. Sessoms, 516 Pa. 365, 532 A.2d 775 (1987), this petition for allowance of appeal is granted, the Order of Superior Court is reversed, and the record is remanded to the Court of Common Pleas for reconsideration of petitioner's sentence in accordance with Sessoms, supra.
