ORDER

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 13th day of February, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all remaining issues. The issue, rephrased for clarity is:
Can an "identifiable third party" for purposes of a mental health professional's duty to warn third parties consist of a group of unnamed neighbors under Emerich v. Philadelphia Center for Human Development, Inc., 554 Pa. 209, 720 A.2d 1032 (1998), which limits a mental health professional's duty to warn to specific, imminent threats of serious bodily injury made against specifically identified or readily identifiable third parties?
Justice Wecht did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
