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

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.
