427 A.2d 260
    Commonwealth v. Rice, Appellant.
    Submitted March 21, 1980.
    Nino V. Tinari, for appellant;
    Ronald T. Williamson, Assistant District Attorney, for Commonwealth, appellee.
    Before HESTER, WICKERSHAM and LIPEZ, JJ.
   Appellant’s motion for a mistrial having been granted by the court below at a time when the jury appeared to be hopelessly deadlocked, his petition thereafter to dismiss the Bills of Information on the grounds of double jeopardy was properly denied. See Commonwealth v. Sullivan, 484 Pa. 130, 398 A.2d 978 (1970).

Order affirmed.
