   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Inasmuch as the Commonwealth filed a timely motion to vacate the erroneous sentence imposed by the trial court, appellant’s contention that the trial court was never accorded an opportunity to correct the sentence is without merit.

NIX, C.J., and LARSEN, J., did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.

McDERMOTT, J., did not participate in the decision of this matter.
