Petitioner :

ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 28th day of June, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioner are:

(1) Whether the Superior Court’s approach to family law appeals under the collateral order doctrine deprives this Court of judicial review of vital parental rights issues?

(2) Whether judicial review in child custody proceedings remains available after this Court’s decision in J.C.D. v. A.L.R., 303 A.3d 425 (Pa. 2023)?

(3) Whether the Superior Court is ignoring the plain language of Rule 313(b) and misapplying its own jurisprudence in quashing family law appeals?

It is further ORDERED that the proceedings before the common pleas court are

not stayed pending resolution of this appeal. The common pleas court is INSTRUCTED

to continue with the July 9, 2024 hearing and, in particular, to address the question of

Respondent’s standing.
