                    Petitioner                 :
                                               : Petition for Allowance of Appeal

                                       ORDER

PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 21st day of December, 2022, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

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

      Whether the Superior Court majority erred in concluding that prior counsel
      rendered ineffective assistance for failing to pursue on appeal a claim that
      the evidence was insufficient to sustain Respondent’s conviction under 18
      Pa.C.S. § 5123(a.2) (Contraband), because he was not an inmate at the
      time he unlawfully possessed a controlled substance, where, pursuant to
      the relevant statute and legislation, he was an inmate?
