COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Michael FELDER, Petitioner
    No. 41 EAL 2018
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    June 19, 2018
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 19th day of June, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Does not a sentence of 50 years to life imposed upon a juvenile constitute a de facto life sentence requiring the sentencing court, as mandated by this Court in Commonwealth v. Batts, 640 Pa. 401, 163 A.3d 410 (2017) ("Batts II"), first find permanent incorrigibility, irreparable corruption or irretrievable depravity beyond a reasonable doubt?
