    COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania v. Tommie L. CLARK, Appellant.
    Superior Court of Pennsylvania.
    Argued Dec. 9, 1976.
    Decided Oct. 6, 1977.
    
      Morton Erase, Philadelphia, for appellant.
    Deborah E. Glass and Steven H. Goldblatt, Assistant District Attorneys, Philadelphia, submitted a brief for Commonwealth, appellee.
    Before WATKINS, President Judge, and JACOBS, HOFFMAN, CERCONE, PRICE, VAN der VOORT, and SPAETH, JJ.
   HOFFMAN, Judge:

Appellant contends that the lower court erred in refusing to read his requested instruction on the issue of alibi. Appellant’s co-defendant raised an identical claim in Commonwealth v. Van Wright, 249 Pa.Super. 451, 378 A.2d 382 (1977), in which we reversed the judgment of sentence and granted the co-defendant a new trial. Therefore, for the reasons stated in Commonwealth v. Van Wright, we reverse appellant’s judgment of sentence and grant a new trial.

Judgment of sentence vacated and new trial granted.

CERCONE, J., concurs in the result.
