PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 4th day of September, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issues set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all remaining issues. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:

  1. Whether a double jeopardy challenge to dual convictions and sentences under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3802(a)(1) for a single incident of driving under the influence implicates the legality of the sentence, where a defendant was sentenced to imprisonment and probation on one count, and a sentence of guilt without further penalty on the second count.
  2. Whether double jeopardy protections under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibit: (1) dual convictions under 75 Pa.C.S. § 3802(a)(1) arising from a single incident of driving under the influence, or (2) the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment on one count of DUI and guilt without further penalty on a second count of DUI.
