                                DISSENTING OPINION

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE SAYLOR                              DECIDED: March 25, 2015

      Although I agree with the majority’s determinations regarding the two remand

issues, I am unable to join in the affirmance of the order concluding the post-conviction

proceedings, for the reasons set forth in my previous dissent. See Commonwealth v.

Simpson, 620 Pa. 60, 112-15, 66 A.3d 253, 284-85 (2013) (Saylor, J., dissenting)

(explaining that Appellant did not receive the process he was due under the governing

scheme for post-conviction review).
