ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 11th day of January, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, slightly rephrased for clarity, is:

[W]hether the Superior Court panel failed to properly apply and follow the legal precedent set forth in Commonwealth ex rel. Buchanan v. Verbonitz, [525 Pa. 413] 581 A.[2d]3d 172, 174-76 (Pa. 1990) in which five (5) Justices held that "fundamental due process requires that no adjudication be based solely on hearsay evidence."
