PER CURIAM

       AND NOW, this 13th day of February, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

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

remaining issues. The issue, rephrased for clarity is:

       Can an “identifiable third party” for purposes of a mental health
       professional’s duty to warn third parties consist of a group of unnamed
       neighbors under Emerich v. Philadelphia Center for Human Development,
       Inc., 720 A.2d 1032 (Pa. 1998), which limits a mental health professional’s
       duty to warn to specific, imminent threats of serious bodily injury made
       against specifically identified or readily identifiable third parties?

Justice Wecht did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
