COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Petitioner, v. Jennifer Ann FEDOREK, Respondent.
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    Sept. 26, 2007.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 26th day of September, 2007, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:

(1) Whether a divided en banc panel of the Superior Court erred in interpreting the statutory definition of disorderly conduct, graded as a misdemeanor of the third degree; 18 Pa.C.S. § 5505(b), as requiring the Commonwealth to prove that the harm or inconvenience resulting from the conduct of the accused be a “substantial public harm” or a “substantial public inconvenience” despite the absence of this requirement in the plain language of the statute?

(2) Whether a divided en banc panel of the Superior Court erred in reversing a judgment of sentence imposed on a disorderly conduct conviction by a jury where the Commonwealth introduced evidence at trial demonstrating that the defendant-Fe-dorek intended to cause substantial harm or serious inconvenience to the victim-Dennis Scott Martin?
