ROBERT N. HALPERN, ON BEHALF OF                 : No. 263 EAL 2023
HIMSELF AND ALL OTHERS SIMILARLY                :
SITUATED,                                       :
                                                : Petition for Allowance of Appeal
                     Petitioner                 : from the Order of the Superior Court
                                                :
                                                :
              v.                                :

RICOH U.S.A., INC.,                             :

                     Respondent                 :

                                        ORDER

PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 27th day of February, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

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

      Whether, in this case of first impression, this Court should overrule the 2001
      Superior Court holding in Romeo v. Pittsburgh Associates that a deceptive
      omission under Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer
      Protection Law is actionable only if a vendor had an affirmative duty to
      disclose a defect in a good or service.
