NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37 COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA : IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF : PENNSYLVANIA Appellee : v. : : STEVEN ANDREW WILLIAMS : : Appellant : : No. 1414 MDA 2017

Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence April 26, 2017 in the Court of Common Pleas of York County Criminal Division at No.: CP-67-CR-0005898-2016

BEFORE: GANTMAN, P.J., McLAUGHLIN, J., and PLATT*, J.

CONCURRING STATEMENT BY PLATT, J.: FILED JUNE 20, 2018 I concur with the learned Majority’s holding that Appellant’s conviction for violating his SORNA-based registration requirements should be vacated pursuant to Commonwealth v. Muniz, 164 A.3d 1189 (Pa. 2017), cert. denied, 138 S. Ct. 295 (2018).

I write separately to highlight that Appellant, who was convicted of rape in New York State in 1990, and is subject to lifetime registration in New York, remains subject to lifetime registration in Pennsylvania. See 42 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 9799.13(7)(i); 9799.14(d)(2), (13); 9799.15(a)(3). Thus, I would remand to the trial court to notify the Appellant of his registration requirement.

Therefore, I concur in the result.
