ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 11th day of September, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal
is GRANTED. The issue, rephrased for clarity, is:
In a child custody case, did the Pennsylvania Superior Court err in affirming the
gag order in violation of Petitioners’ rights under the First and Fourteenth
Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article I, § 7 of the
Pennsylvania Constitution when the order precluded the parent and attorneys from
speaking publicly about the case in a manner that would identify the child involved?
