## Opinion text

WICKERSHAM,
Judge, dissenting:
I dissent.
I believe that Bass v. Commonwealth, 485 Pa. 256 , 401 A.2d 1133 (1979) creates a new category of “non-negligent” failure to file an appeal. The lower court applied Bass in rendering its decision, and the court’s use of Bass was not a retroactive application of that case.
