CAVANAUGH, Judge,
dissenting.
In Commonwealth v. Hayes, I dissented and took the position that the 1988 amendment of the Post Conviction Hearing Act did not intend to eradicate the employment of the collateral consequences doctrine as a basis for invoking the benefits of the PCRA. In the interest of consistency and at the risk of engaging in tautology, I dissent and would reverse. Commonwealth v. Hayes, 408 Pa.Super. 68, at 77, 596 A.2d 195, at 200 (1991).
CIRILLO, President Judge Emeritus, and JOHNSON, J., join this dissent.
