MEMORANDUM BY LAZARUS, J.:                      FILED SEPTEMBER 16, 2014

        Steve Atuahene appeals from the January 14, 2014 order of the Court

of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County denying his petition to strike foreign

judgment.1 For the following reasons, we quash the appeal.

        Atuahene filed a timely notice of appeal on February 24, 2014.    By

order dated February 24, 2014, the trial court directed Atuahene to file a

concise statement of errors complained of on appeal pursuant to Pa.R.A.P.

1925(b) within 21 days after entry of the order.2 Atuahene timely filed the

statement on March 17, 2014. However, he failed to serve the trial court

with the statement in a timely manner as evidenced by the envelope bearing
