JUDGMENT ORDER BY PANELLA, P.J.:                        FILED MARCH 14, 2023

        Pursuant to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania’s order dated January

9, 2023, see Commonwealth v. Santiago, 346 EAL 2020 (Pa. 2023), we

remand this matter to the PCRA court to allow Santiago an opportunity to file

an amended PCRA petition raising his claim of ineffective assistance of PCRA

counsel. See Commonwealth v. Bradley, 261 A.3d 381, 402 (Pa. 2021)

(noting that an amended petition may be required to develop assertions of

PCRA counsel’s ineffectiveness).1 The PCRA court may set appropriate

timelines for the filing of any such petition and may schedule any hearings it

determines necessary for the disposition of the petition.
