Description
We granted allowance of appeal in these consolidated matters to review whether jurisdiction over the appellants parole requests was retained by the common pleas court or rested with the Pennsylvania Board of Probation and Parole (Parole Board), where appellants were each sentenced to consecutive prison terms having a maximum aggregate sentence of two or more years, but with each component maximum sentence being less than two years. We also granted allowance of appeal to address the Appellants contention that this Courts per curiam affirmance of Abraham v. Department of Corrections of Pennsylvania, 150 Pa. Commw. 81, 615 A.2d 814 (1992), affd per curiam, 535 Pa. 122, 634 A.2d 214 (1993), had the effect of sub silentio overruling Commonwealth v. Harris, 423 Pa. Super. 190, 620 A.2d 1175 (1993), alloc. denied sub nom. Commonwealth v. Miller, 535 Pa. 667, 634 A.2d 1115 (1993), and reconsid. denied, 538 Pa. 610, 645 A.2d 1314 (1993). For the following reason, we affirm the Superior Courts decision that this Court has not overruled Harris, and, thus, that the common pleas court improperly exercised jurisdiction over the appellants parole requests.
