      AND NOW, this 16th day of October, 2017, the Joint Application for Summary

Disposition Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Appellate Procedure 123 is GRANTED.

Based upon the agreement of the parties, it is hereby ORDERED as follows:

      3. The matter is REMANDED to the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster

      County for resentencing. At resentencing, both Driving Under Suspension

      charges (75 Pa.C.S. § 1543(b)(1.1)) shall be treated as first offenses, with

      summary grading and a maximum penalty of 90 (ninety) days

that Appellant is entitled to be resentenced. This order is not to be construed as an
