Heading: alleged excessiveness of sentences

Text: Appellant contends that the sentences imposed were excessive. We note initially that he has complied with the basic procedural dictates of Commonwealth v. Tuladziecki, 513 Pa. 508, 522 A.2d 17 (1987), by filing timely notice of appeal and by complying with the dictates of Pa.R.A.P. 2116(b) and Pa.R.A.P. 2119(f). However, with the exception of the claim disposed of separately above, appellant's statements of reasons for allowance of appeal merely challenge the weight given various legitimate sentencing factors by the trial court; consequently, we deny allowance of appeal for lack of a substantial question. See Commonwealth v. Carr, 375 Pa.Super. 168, 543 A.2d 1232 (1988); Commonwealth v. Moran, 369 Pa.Super. 109, 534 A.2d 1103 (1987). [1]
