ORDER

PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 16th day of October, 2008, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by the Commonwealth, is:
Whether the Pennsylvania Superior Court erred by determining that Respondent’s conviction for Arson in the Third Degree, as defined in N.Y. Penal Law § 150.10, was not an equivalent offense to Arson as defined in the Pennsylvania Crimes Code at 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 3301(a), and thus, not a crime of violence as defined by 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 9714(g)?
