ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 16th day of April, 2019, upon consideration of the Petition for

Permission to Appeal, or, in the Alternative, Application for Extraordinary Relief,

permission to appeal is GRANTED. See 42 Pa.C.S. §702(b). The Prothonotary is

DIRECTED to establish a briefing schedule to ensure that the matter is listed for argument

at the May 2019 session.

The Commonwealth Court severed Count I from the other counts of the Petition to

Modify filed by the Office of Attorney General. See Commonwealth v. UPMC, 334 MD 2014 (order dated March 12, 2019). Except for Count I, the instant order granting

permission to appeal does not operate as a stay on the Commonwealth Court’s

consideration of this ongoing litigation. See Pa.R.A.P. 1701(b)(5).
