PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 3rd day of January, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to the

remaining issue. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:

          Did the sentencing court impose a harsh, severe, and manifestly
          unreasonable and excessive sentence in light of the circumstances
          surrounding the alleged incident?

      The judgment of sentence is VACATED, and the matter is REMANDED to the

Superior Court for reconsideration in light of Commonwealth v. Muniz, 164 A.3d 1189

(Pa. 2017).
