## Opinion text

VAN der VOORT, Judge,
dissenting:
I would remand this case to the court below for a hearing to determine whether or not the defendant-appellant suffered any prejudice because he was not given notice of the application of the Commonwealth for an extension of time of trial. If it were determined that he was prejudiced, I would reverse and discharge the appellant. If it were found that he suffered no prejudice, I would affirm the judgment of sentence of the trial court below.
