   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Order affirmed.

ROBERTS, J., filed a dissenting opinión.

ROBERTS, Justice,

dissenting opinion.

I dissent. PCHA appellate counsel asserts that PCHA trial counsel was ineffective. Because this claim cannot be determined from the record, I would remand for an evidentiary hearing on this issue. E. g., Commonwealth v. Twiggs, 460 Pa. 105, 331 A.2d 440 (1975).
