121 A.3d 434
    COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Petitioner v. Roland GATHRIGHT, Respondent.
    Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
    Aug. 14, 2015.
   ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 14th day of August, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is hereby GRANTED, the order of the Superior Court is VACATED, and the case is REMANDED for consideration by the trial court consistent with Commonwealth v. Carrasquillo, 631 Pa. 692, 115 A.3d 1284, 1292 (2015) (holding “a defendant’s innocence claim must be at least plausible to demonstrate, in and of itself, a fair and just reason for presentenee withdrawal of a plea” and “the proper inquiry on consideration of such a withdrawal motion is whether the accused has made some colorable demonstration, under the circumstances, such that permitting withdrawal of the plea would promote fairness and justice”). Jurisdiction relinquished.
