How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that there was no Alleyne violation where the -5- J-S45004-15 increase in the defendant’s minimum sentence was “based on the fact of prior convictions[.]”
  • recognizing that this Court cannot review a challenge to the legality of the sentence where there is no basis for our jurisdiction to review the claim
  • holding that even if Alleyne announced a new constitutional right, neither our Supreme Court nor the United States Supreme Court has held that Alleyne applies retroactively
  • holding that, “an issue pertaining to Alleyne goes to the legality of the sentence
  • holding that neither our Supreme Court nor U.S. Supreme Court has held Alleyne applies retroactively, which is fatal to petitioner’s attempt to satisfy “new constitutional right” exception to PCRA timeliness requirements
  • recognizing that “a new rule of constitutional law is applied retroactively to cases on collateral review only if the United States Supreme Court or our Supreme Court specifically holds it to be retroactively applicable to those cases.”
