J-A26004-18 NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37 COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA Appellee v. PHILLIP GRAYSON, Appellant No. 1711 WDA 2017 Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence Entered September 19, 2016 In the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County Criminal Division at No(s): CP-02-CR-0003163-2015 BEFORE: BENDER, P.J.E., SHOGAN, J., and MURRAY, J. MEMORANDUM BY BENDER, P.J.E.: FILED DECEMBER 31, 2018 Appellant, Phillip Grayson, appeals nunc pro tunc from the judgment of sentence of an aggregate term of 12 years’ probation, imposed after he pled guilty to several sexual offenses committed against his step-granddaughter. Appellant contends the trial court erred when it rejected his request to withdraw his guilty plea, as he ostensibly did not anticipate the nature of the conditions of his probation. Appellant also contends the trial court erred by imposing a condition of probation that barred him from having contact with his teenage biological children. After careful review, we affirm.

When asked, DOE identified why she was present at the interview. DOE stated that she was watched by two other juvenile females, but they no longer take care of her.
