                               MIDDLE DISTRICT

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA,                  : No. 54 MAL 2023
                                               :
                    Respondent                 :
                                               : Petition for Allowance of Appeal
                                               : from the Order of the Superior Court

MICHAEL L. STRUNK,                             :
                                               :
                    Petitioner                 :

                                       ORDER

PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 17th day of October, 2023, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

      Whether the Superior Court erred in affirming [Petitioner’s] conviction for
      unlawful contact with a minor where the complainant testified that the sole
      verbal contact was in the first incident after any criminal offense was
      completed, and the Superior Court held that a step necessary for a greater
      sex offense constituted “contact,” for purposes of the statute.
