ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 20th day of November, 2017, the Petition for Allowance of
Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as phrased by Petitioner, is:
Was it not error for the Superior Court automatically to dismiss petitioner’s
appeal without a merits review when this Court’s consistent jurisprudence
allows exceptions to a forfeiture determination and petitioner’s
circumstances track those exceptions?
