ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 12th day of April, 2021, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner are:

(1) Did the Superior Court err in determining that [Respondent] was not required to register under SORNA even though he was already required to register for life in New York and relocated to Pennsylvania after the effective date of SORNA?

(2) Did the Superior Court err in finding an ex post facto violation even though [Respondent] was not disadvantaged any more than his lifetime registration he was already subject to under New York law?
