PRICE, Judge,
dissenting:
I respectfully dissent because I believe the majority ignores the mandate of Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b). Pursuant to Pa.R. A.P. 1925(b), the trial judge entered an order directed to appellant to file a concise statement of the matters complained of on appeal. In response to that order, appellant, by counsel, filed the following:
“STATEMENT OF MATTERS ON APPEAL
TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THE SAID COURT:
Pursuant to the Order of Court of September 21, 1977, Kevin Giffin has appealed judgment of the sentence.
Mr. Giffin has also requested that he be allowed to withdraw his guilty plea, which has been denied by this Court of Common Pleas.
