PER CURIAM

            AND NOW, this 26th day of May, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of

Appeal at 36 MAL 2016 is GRANTED. The issues, as set forth by petitioners, are:
      (1)    Does the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing apply to all limited
             partnership agreements under Pennsylvania law?

      (2)    If the answer to Question 1 is “yes,” may the implied covenant of good
             faith and fair dealing impose duties that are inconsistent with the duties
             imposed by the express terms of a limited partnership agreement?

The cross-petition for allowance of appeal at 71 MAL 2016 is DENIED.

Justice Donohue did not participate in the consideration or decision of these matters.

                                   [36 MAL 2016] - 2
