    Superior court properly quashed defendant's appeal and found defendant was not entitled to an interlocutory appeal under rule 311(a)(6) where trial court sua sponte declared a mistrial because a court entered an order "awarding a new trial" for the purposes of Pa.R.A.P. 311(a)(6) only when it granted a party's motion for a new trial. Affirmed.
