ORDER
PER CURIAM.AND NOW, this 1st day of March, 2011, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal filed at No. 84 MAL 2010 is GRANTED. The issue, reworded for clarity, is:
Whether the decision of many plaintiffs in complex litigation to join in a single complaint, as permitted by Pa.R.C.P. 2229(a), prevents a trial court from exercising its discretion under Pa.R.A.P. 213(b) to sever claims or order separate *427trials of a small number of bellwether plaintiffs?
Oral argument on the above issue is to be consolidated with 75 MAL 2010.
