   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

The judgments of sentence are affirmed, without prejudice to appellant’s right to select new counsel, not associated with present counsel, to represent him on the issue of ineffectiveness of trial counsel.

LARSEN, J., filed a concurring opinion.

LARSEN, Justice,

concurring.

I would hold that trial counsel can never act as appellate counsel when ineffective assistance of trial counsel is an issue.
