PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 30th day of March, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

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


             Whether, as a matter of first impression, the Superior Court erred in
             affirming the trial court’s decision denying [petitioner’s] motion to
             suppress evidence where state parole agents lacked authority and
             subsequently reasonable suspicion to detain [petitioner] and
             conduct an investigative detention in violation of Article I, Section 8
             of the Pennsylvania Constitution and the Fourth Amendment to the
             United States Constitution?


      The parties are directed to separately address in their briefs the subsumed and

alternate claims respecting (1) the authority of parole agents, and (2) whether

reasonable suspicion existed to support a seizure and a subsequent weapons frisk.
