                                          ORDER

PER CURIAM

        AND NOW, this 11th day of September, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:

        In a child custody case, did the Pennsylvania Superior Court err in affirming the

        gag order in violation of Petitioners’ rights under the First and Fourteenth

        Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article I, § 7 of the

        Pennsylvania Constitution when the order precluded the parent and attorneys from

        speaking publicly about the case in a manner that would identify the child involved?
