Opinion
JUDGMENT ORDER
This cause came to be considered on the record from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and was submitted pursuant to Third Circuit LAR 34.1(a) on March 8, 2016.
While on appeal, the United States Supreme Court decided Montgomery v. Louisiana, 577 U.S. -, 136 S.Ct. 718, 193 L.Ed.2d 599 (2016). Appellee now seeks remand and represents to the Court that Appellants are in agreement that remand is appropriate. We hold that the District Court should have the opportunity to consider the implications of Montgomery in the first instance. For that reason, it is now hereby ORDERED and ADJUDGED by this Court that the District Court’s order dated September 6, 2012 is VACATED and REMANDED for proceedings not inconsistent with Montgomery.
