PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 14th day of December, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of

Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner is:


      (1)    Did the Superior Court err when it rejected binding Confrontation
             Clause authority and held as a matter of first impression that
             autopsy reports are testimonial?
