     remaining issues. The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:

              (1)   Whether or not the Panel's Majority Opinion and Order presents issues of
                    first impression to the extent that it permits a charter school to open a
                    second location by amending its charter and/or confers CAB with
                    jurisdiction to hear a charter school's appeal from any and all denials to
                    amend a charter school's charter?
(2)   Whether or not the Majority's Opinion and Order has departed from
      accepted judicial practices or abused its discretion when it misapplied the
      rules of statutory construction and/or relied on dicta?
