PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 1st day of April, 2024, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:
              Does clear and convincing evidence exist to support a
              termination of parental rights decision where the trial court
              based its decision upon the testimony of one witness without
              acknowledging the competent testimony of multiple witnesses
              who provided testimony that directly contradicted that witness’
              testimony.

Justice McCaffery did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
