HESTER, Judge,
dissenting:
I dissent. Appellant was convicted of robbery, conspiracy, firearms violations and simple assault for conduct during his period of probation. For this he was sentenced to six (6) to twenty (20) years. The fact that he violated his probation is admitted. The United States Supreme Court has held there is no due process violation if the parole hearing is postponed until after the parolee has completed the sentence for the conviction that constituted the parole violation. Moody v. Daggett, 429 U.S. 78, 97 S.Ct. 274, 50 L.Ed.2d 236 (1976). In view of all of the circumstances in this case, I am of the opinion that the provisions of Pa.Rule of Criminal Procedure No. 1409 have not been violated. I would affirm the action of the court below.
