PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 28th day of April, 2021, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issues, as stated by the Commonwealth, are:

      (1)   Whether the Superior Court issued a decision in conflict with and failed to
            properly apply and follow the binding legal precedent of the United States
            Supreme Court and this Court, in holding that 75 Pa.C.S. § 3755 does not
            independently support implied consent on the part of driver suspected or
            arrested for DUI, rendering the implied-consent statute unconstitutional?

      (2)   Whether the Superior Court issued a decision in conflict with and failed to
            properly apply and follow the binding legal precedent of the United States
            Supreme Court in Mitchell v. Wisconsin, ___ U.S. ___, 139 S.Ct. 2525
            (2019), by finding that exigent circumstances did not exist to support a
            warrantless request to test Defendant’s blood?
