    COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania v. Wayne THORPE, Appellant.
    Superior Court of Pennsylvania.
    Argued July 23, 1984.
    Filed May 10, 1985.
    Richard P. Hunter, Jr., Philadelphia, for appellant.
    Eric B. Henson, Assistant District Attorney, Philadelphia, for Commonwealth, appellee.
    Before SPAETH, President Judge, and WICKERSHAM, BROSKY, WIEAND, CIRILLO, DEL SOLE, MONTEMURO, JOHNSON, and POPOVICH, JJ.
   PER CURIAM:

Today we decided that double jeopardy principles do not bar reprosecution of appellant’s co-defendant on charges arising from the killing of Zollie Perry. Appellant raises the identical issue decided in that case, and we therefore affirm on the basis of Commonwealth v. Simons, 342 Pa.Super. 281, 492 A.2d 1119 (1985).

Order affirmed.
