*247OPINION OF THE COURT
PER CURIAM:Appellant, Leroy Taylor, was convicted of possession of an instrument of crime and of murder of the third degree on October 28, 1976, after a nonjury trial for the fatal shooting of his neighbor, Gerald Harmon. Post-verdict motions were denied, and appellant was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of not less than one nor more than five years on the possession charge. Appellant was sentenced to a consecutive term of not less than five nor more than twenty years in prison on the murder charge. Post-verdict motions were denied, and this direct appeal followed.
Appellant raises only one issue, a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence. Specifically, appellant contends that the prosecution failed to prove that appellant did not act in self-defense. We have reviewed the record and conclude that appellant’s claim is without merit.
Judgment of sentence affirmed.
