COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. WILLIAM MIKELL No. 1588 eda 2008 2009 PA Super 44 Atlantic: 968 A.2d 779 Filed: 3/17/2009
	Appeal from the PCRA Order of May 2, 2008, in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Criminal Division at No. CP-51-CR-0716051-1987
Before: ORIE MELVIN, ALLEN and COLVILLE, JJ.
Opinion by: COLVILLE, J.
This is an appeal from the order dismissing Appellant’s petition filed pursuant to the Post Conviction Relief Act (“PCRA”). Appellant raises two issues for our review: (1) whether the PCRA court erred in refusing to reinstate Appellant’s direct appeal rights nunc pro tunc; and (2) whether the PCRA court erred in failing to either grant Appellant relief on his petition or conduct an evidentiary hearing thereupon. We affirm.
