ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 27th day of February, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by Petitioner, are:
(1) Whether [the] Superior Court erred in determining that [the] Philadelphia
Municipal Court - Traffic Division has sole jurisdiction over summary traffic
offenses even when those charges are part of a single incident which also
includes a misdemeanor and/or felony charges? Is this decision in conflict with
18 Pa.C.S. § 110, the 2002 amendment thereto removing jurisdiction as an
element of the offense, its constitutional underpinnings, and decisions of this
Court?
(2) Where the lower [c]ourt dismissed the prosecution under 18 Pa.C.S. § 110
because all the prongs of the test for dismissal under that statute were met, did
the trial [c]ourt properly dismiss the charges?
