SPAETH, Judge,
dissenting:
I dissent. The judgment of sentence should be vacated and the case remanded to allow appellant an opportunity to file post-guilty plea motions. See Commonwealth v. McCusker (No. 2850 Allocatur Docket, filed Sept. 21, 1977); Commonwealth v. Matzik, 255 Pa.Super. 500, 388 A.2d 340. Upon remand the lower court must advise appellant as provided in Rule 1405(c), Pa.R.Crim.P. 1405(c). Appellant should comply with the procedure set forth in Rule 321, Pa.R.Crim.P. 321. See Commonwealth v. Marzik, 255 Pa.Super. 500, 388 A.2d 340 (concurring opinion by SPAETH, J., 255 Pa.Super. at 501, 388 A.2d 340).
