CONCURRING STATEMENT BY STRASSBURGER, J.:

FILED DECEMBER 31, 2019

        I concur in the result of the Majority Memorandum. I write separately

only to comment that, upon review of the certified record and the briefs for

the parties, I conclude that the opinion of the Honorable Thomas M. Bianco

thoroughly addresses the claims raised on appeal and applies the correct law

to facts that are supported by the record. Discerning no error or abuse of

discretion, I would have adopted the trial court’s March 22, 2017 opinion and

affirm the order based upon the reasons stated therein.
