Opinion

Argued December 4, 1978.

Decided December 14, 1978.

Appeal from the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Trial Division, Criminal Section, Nos. 846-850, December 1973, Mirarchi, Jr., J.

Lee Mandell, Philadelphia, for appellant.

Eric B. Henson, Assistant District Attorney, Philadelphia, for Commonwealth, appellee.

Before CERCONE, HESTER and HOFFMAN, JJ.


Appellant was serving a term of five years probation in lieu of sentence for various offenses when he was arrested, charged, and convicted of narcotics possession, robbery, and other related offenses. After a hearing, the lower court revoked appellant's probation and sentenced him to consecutive terms of imprisonment totalling 15 to 52 years. Appellant now contends that this sentence violates double jeopardy. This contention is without merit. Commonwealth v. Cole, 222 Pa. Super. 229, 294 A.2d 824 (1972). See also Commonwealth v. Colding, 482 Pa. 112, 115-121, 393 A.2d 404, 406-407 (1978).

Judgments of sentence affirmed.
