*322Liacos, J.
(concurring). I have expressed previously my view that the Commonwealth has no right of appeal from the action of a trial judge under Rule 25 (b) (2) of the Massachusetts Rules of Criminal Procedure, 378 Mass. 896 (1979). Commonwealth v. Therrien, 383 Mass. 529, 539 (1981) (Liacos, J., dissenting). Cf. Commonwealth v. Gaulden, 383 Mass. 543, 558 (1981) (Liacos, J., concurring). I need not restate those views here. The court, of course, has held otherwise, as to the Commonwealth’s right of appeal, and I am bound by the court’s decision. Accordingly, I concur in the result reached by the court in this case.
