HOFFMAN, Judge:

On March 4, 1976, the lower court certified the instant case to this'Court on a controlling question of law: whether appellant is entitled to relief pursuant to Rule 1100(f), Pa.R.Crim.P., 19 P.S. Appendix. See Appellate Court Jurisdiction Act, July 31, 1970, P.L. 673, No. 223, art. V, § 501; 17 P.S. § 211.501(b). The instant case arises out of the same facts addressed in Commonwealth v. Mancuso, 247 Pa.Super. 266, 372 A.2d 454 (filed March 31, 1977; J. 1685 1976); Commonwealth v. Richey, 247 Pa.Super. 274, 372 A.2d 459 (filed March 31, 1977); Commonwealth v. Borris, 247 Pa.Super. 273, 372 A.2d 458 (filed March 31, 1977). Based on our decision in Commonwealth v.
