For n ≥ 1, let 𝓐 denote the class of all analytic functions f in the unit disk Δ of the form $f(z) = z + ∑_{k=2}^∞ a_kz^k$. For Re α < 2 and γ > 0 given, let 𝓟(γ,α) denote the class of all functions f ∈ 𝓐 satisfying the condition
|f'(z) - α f(z)/z + α - 1| ≤ γ, z ∈ Δ.
We find sufficient conditions for functions in 𝓟(γ,α) to be starlike of order β. A generalization of this result along with some convolution results is also obtained.
