PER CURIAM                                              DECIDED: October 15, 2020
       AND NOW, this 15th day of October, 2020, the appeal is QUASHED.              See

Commonwealth v. Reid, 235 A.3d 1124 (Pa. 2020) (quashing serial appeal after

concluding Williams v. Pennsylvania, ___ U.S. ___, 136 S.Ct. 1899 (2016), does not

provide exception to timeliness requirements of Post-Conviction Relief Act (PCRA), 42

Pa.C.S. §§9541-9546, and thus PCRA court lacked jurisdiction to reinstate appellate

rights nunc pro tunc).

       Justice Donohue files a concurring statement.
