PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 8th day of July, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, and the order of the Superior Court is VACATED. See Grant v. Blaine, 868

A.2d 400, 402 (Pa. 2005) (holding that “an order denying in forma pauperis status is a

final, appealable order”). The matter is REMANDED to the Superior Court for

consideration of the propriety and advisability of a transfer of the appeal to the

Commonwealth Court, see 42 Pa.C.S. §704(a), as well as further proceedings, in one of

those courts, on the underlying appeal.

The Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis is GRANTED, limited to the filing of

the Petition for Allowance of Appeal.
