PER CURIAM .

AND NOW, this 31st day of July, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is as follows:

Whether the Superior Court of Pennsylvania erred in vacating the trial court's Order finding [Respondent] to be [a Sexually Violent Predator ("SVP")] by extrapolating the decision in [ Commonwealth v. Muniz, 640 Pa. 699 , 164 A.3d 1189 (2017),] to declare SVP hearings and designations unconstitutional under 42 Pa.C.S. § 9799.24(e)(3).

The Prothonotary is directed to provide notice of this Order to the Attorney General, who is invited to participate as an amicus curiae.
