How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that the failure to comply with procedural requirements for review of discretionary aspects of sentence claims is fatal to the appellant’s claim on appeal
  • concluding that appellate review despite the failure to meet these requirements would afford an appellant “an appeal as of right from the discretionary aspects of a sentence”
  • holding that claim relating to discretionary aspects of sentence is waived if appellant does not include Pa.R.A.P. 2119(f) statement in brief and opposing party objects to statement’s absence
  • holding that an appellant must set forth a separate concise statement of reasons for allowance of appeal, and it is error to review the appellant’s argument section of the brief to determine if it raises a substantial question
  • commenting how \[i]t is apparent that the legislature has vested broad discretion in the trial court to impose a sentence appropriate to each case which comes before it\
  • defendant's contention that his sentence \was based on an unconstitutional factor ... raises a substantial question for our review\
