                               DISSENTING STATEMENT

JUSTICE MUNDY                                                   FILED: February 2, 2022

       Given the Commonwealth Court's February 1, 2022 clarifying order confirming the

filing of its decision and opinion within the next 48 hours, and with time being of the

essence, I would favor regularity in the appellate proceedings, which can be expedited,

as opposed to exercising this Court’s extraordinary jurisdiction at this juncture.

       Justice Brobson joins this dissenting statement.
