COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Appellee v. MIGUEL ANGEL LANDRAU-MELENDEZ, Appellant
NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37
Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence Entered June 17, 2015
In the Court of Common Pleas of Lebanon County
Criminal Division at No(s): CP-38-CR-0000286-2014 BEFORE: BENDER, P.J.E., PANELLA, J., and STEVENS, P.J.E. MEMORANDUM BY BENDER, P.J.E.:
Former Justice specially assigned to the Superior Court.
Appellant, Miguel Angel Landrau-Melendez, appeals from the judgment of sentence of 21 months' to 6 years' incarceration, imposed on June 17, 2015, after a jury convicted him of aggravated harassment by a prisoner, 18 Pa.C.S. § 2703.1. We affirm.
Appellant's conviction stemmed from evidence that he threw a cup of urine on another inmate at the Lebanon County Prison. On appeal, Appellant challenges the sufficiency and weight of the evidence to sustain his conviction. We have examined the certified record, the briefs of the parties, and the applicable law. We have also reviewed the October 21, 2015 opinion, drafted by the Honorable Bradford H. Charles of the Lebanon County Court of Common Pleas, which explains Judge Charles' rationale for denying Appellant's post-sentence motion in which Appellant raised his sufficiency and weight-of-the-evidence claims. We conclude that Judge Charles' well-reasoned opinion accurately disposes of those two issues. Accordingly, we adopt Judge Charles' October 21, 2015 decision as our own and affirm Appellant's judgment of sentence for the reasons set forth therein.
Judgment of sentence affirmed. Judgment Entered. /s/_________
