PER CURIAM
         AND NOW, this 5th day of April, 2016, the Order of the Commonwealth Court is

hereby affirmed in part and vacated in part.     The portion of the order denying the

Petition to Set Aside the Nomination Petition of Jared Solomon is affirmed. The portion

of the order imposing costs against Mark Cohen is vacated and remanded. See In re

Nomination Petition of Farnese, 17 A.3d 357 (Pa. 2011). On remand, we direct that the

Commonwealth Court’s final order assessing costs shall reference costs by category

and the amounts assessed, and shall include a rationale for the imposition of such

costs.
