Head Matter:
COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Petitioner v. Jeanette GARCIA, Respondent.
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.
May 25, 2011.

Opinion:
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 25th day of May 2011, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:
a. Whether the Pennsylvania Superior Court erred [by] denying the Commonwealth's motion to dismiss the appeal of respondent for lack of jurisdiction, since the appeal involved a judgment of sentence issued by a Magisterial District Judge, and there was no order of Common Pleas entered?
b. Whether a Defendant who seeks to change a plea of guilty previously entered before a Magisterial District Judge must do so within ten days afforded by rule, or be precluded from challenging the entry of the plea?
