*312 PER CURIAM:

On July 15, 1980, the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County entered an ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‍Order sustaining preliminary objections to the appellant’s complaint and dismissing the complaint against the appellees herein.

On July 22, 1980, the appellant filed a notice of appeal.

On July 29, 1980, ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‍the lower court (by Judge Pitt, who has since retired from the Bench), ordered the plaintiff to file a Statement of Matters Complained of, pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‍Procedure 1925(b).

Appellant has admittedly not complied with said order of July 29,1980. “A failure to comply with such direction may be considered by the appellate court as a waiver ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‍of all objections to the order, ruling or other matter complained of.” Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b).

Under these circumstances and on the basis of the record (or lack thereof) before us, effective appellate ‍​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‍review is precluded. Matter of Harrison Square Ins., 470 Pa. 246, 251-52, 368 A.2d 285, 288 (1977).

Appeal dismissed.
