PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 29th day of August, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

             Whether a [c]ourt on appeal should rule on the merits of an
             existing appeal of a PCRA [court order] before remanding a
             case where a [PCRA petitioner] raised new/additional layered
             claims of PCRA counsel’s ineffectiveness pursuant to
             Commonwealth v. Bradley, [261 A.3d 381 (Pa. 2021)] for the
             first time before the appellate court, where there were issues
             of merit that could have been disposed of prior to remand for
             new issues.
