ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 28th day of January, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to the

remaining issues. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Did the Superior Court panel err, and enter a ruling that conflicts with a holding of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and/or another holding of the Superior Court, when it held that the evidence is sufficient as a matter of law to support the convictions in these matters where the evidence did not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that [Petitioner] did not act with justification and in self-defense?

The parties are directed to address Commonwealth v. Torres, 766 A.2d 342 (Pa.

2001).
