## Opinion text

SAYLOR, Judge, concurring.
I agree with my colleague, Judge Del Sole, that the standard and scope of appellate review is more appropriately set forth in Judge Kelly’s Concurring Opinion in Commonwealth v. Brown, — Pa.Super. —, 669 A.2d 984 (1995). I am also of the view that a prosecutor’s decision to disapprove a private criminal complaint should not be disturbed absent a showing of bad faith or improper motive, as is more particularly set forth in my Dissenting Opinion in Commonwealth v. Brown, supra.
