ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 16th day of September, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

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

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

(1) In a case of first impression, whether an action under the PVSVIA is governed by the six-year catch-all statute of limitations, as the Superior Court held, rather than the civil two-year statute of limitations applicable to torts?

(2) In a case of first impression, whether the continuing risk of harm required for a protection order under the PVSVIA must be reasonable and not solely the plaintiff’s subjective and unfounded fear of the [Petitioner]?
