             Respondent                        :
                                               :

                     Petitioner                :

                                        ORDER

PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 25th day of June, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

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

      Did the Superior Court err in finding that an expired vehicle registration tag
      constitutes a “breach of the peace”, thus granting sheriffs and citizens a
      common law power to arrest on that basis alone?
