COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Appellee v. STEVEN WYLIE Appellant


NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37

Appeal from the PCRA Order entered June 18, 2015
In the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County
Criminal Division, at No(s): CP-51-CR-0011687-2010 BEFORE: PANELLA, J., OLSON, J., and STEVENS, P.J.E. JUDGMENT ORDER BY PANELLA, J.

Former Justice specially assigned to the Superior Court.

In this appeal, Steven Wylie claims that the PCRA court erred in dismissing his timely PCRA petition, which asserted that the mandatory minimum sentences he received were illegal under Alleyne v. United States , 133 S.Ct. 2151 (2013). Our Supreme Court recently held that " Alleyne does not apply retroactively to cases pending on collateral review...." Commonwealth v. Washington , ___ A.3d ___, ___, 2016 WL 3909088, *8 (Pa., filed July 19, 2016). Wylie's judgment of sentence, therefore, is not illegal.

Order affirmed. Judgment Entered. /s/_________
