COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Marc PERFETTO, Petitioner
    No. 455 EAL 2017
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    February 27, 2018
    ORDER
   PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 27th day of February, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:

(1) Whether [the] Superior Court erred in determining that [the] Philadelphia Municipal Court - Traffic Division has sole jurisdiction over summary traffic offenses even when those charges are part of a single incident which also includes a misdemeanor and/or felony charges? Is this decision in conflict with 18 Pa.C.S. § 110, the 2002 amendment thereto removing jurisdiction as an element of the offense, its constitutional underpinnings, and decisions of this Court?
(2) Where the lower [c]ourt dismissed the prosecution under 18 Pa.C.S. § 110 because all the prongs of the test for dismissal under that statute were met, did the trial [c]ourt properly dismiss the charges?
