ORDER
PER CURIAM
[41 MAL 2016, 42 MAL 2016, 43 MAL 2016, 44 MAL 2016, 45 MAL 2016 and 46 MAL
2016] - 2
AND NOW, this 7th day of June, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issue presented by petitioner and rephrased for clarity is as follows:
under Rule 227.1 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, where a trial court rules
on post-trial motions and expresses reliance on previously filed briefs that fully argue
the post-trial issues, may an appellate court nevertheless dismiss the appeal for failure
to file an accompanying brief?
