                                       ORDER

PER CURIAM

        AND NOW, this 17th day of June, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue presented by petitioner and rephrased for clarity is whether it is

within the province of a trial court to diagnose a litigant with mental illness when the

record is devoid of any diagnosis by a mental health professional or testimony by a

mental health professional to support the diagnosis?
