                                       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:

      Whether the Pennsylvania Superior Court erred as a matter of law by
      holding that the costs relating to contested expert testimony in a contested
      resentencing do not constitute costs of prosecution under 16 P.S. §1403, [ ]
      and are ineligible for imposition upon a defendant reimbursement as part of
      a sentence as a matter of law rather than the sentencing court’s
      discretion[?]
