                                PER CURIAM ORDER

       The Court having considered and granted the petition for a writ of certiorari in the

above-captioned case, it is this 28th day of April, 2022

       ORDERED, by the Court of Appeals of Maryland, that the judgment of the Court

of Special Appeals is vacated and the case is remanded to that Court to consider whether

or not the holding in Lopez-Villa v. State, No. 22 (September Term, 2021) should be applied

in this case and, if so, to reconsider its prior opinion concerning whether the trial court

erred in not asking requested voir dire question(s); and it is further

       ORDERED, that the case is remanded to the Court of Special Appeals for

consideration and resolution of the remaining two issues raised on brief by Respondent,

De’Shon C. Rodgers, before that Court, namely:

       Did the trial court err by permitting Officer Brian H. Carver to offer expert
       testimony about Rodgers’ actions in an aerial video without being qualified
       as an expert witness?

       Did the trial court err by preventing defense counsel from cross-examining
       Officer Alexander A. Pearson about his failure to comply with department
       policy that required him to file a complaint against Officer First Class Thorne
       A. Allen for use of excessive force?

and it is further

       ORDERED, that costs are to be paid by Respondent.

                                                         /s/ Matthew J. Fader
