Opinion
AND NOW, this 30th day of April, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as phrased by the Commonwealth, is:
Did the Superior Court commit a significant and potentially far-reaching error of law when, in contravention of Pennsylvania law and the greater weight of authority nationally, it issued a published decision holding that PCRA courts may bar the Commonwealth from speaking with [a defendant's] trial counsel prior to evidentiary hearings on defense claims that counsel provided ineffective assistance?
Justice Wecht did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
