AND NOW, this 4th day of August 2016, 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, as stated by petitioner, is:

intent to seek a mandatory penalty under a recidivist statute
within the charging document since such mandatory
penalties equate to new, aggravated crimes?
This matter is consolidated with Commonwealth v. Bragg, 67 EAL 2016 and
Commonwealth v. Sachette, 973 MAL 2015 for oral argument.
Justice Wecht did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
