COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, Respondent v. CHRISTOPHER ROBERT WEIR, Petitioner

No. 14 WAL 2019

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA WESTERN DISTRICT

June 25, 2019

Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Superior Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 25th day of June, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Whether the Superior Court majority erred in holding that a challenge to an order of restitution pursuant to 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 1106 (Restitution for Injuries to Persons or Property), contending that the amount is speculative and not supported by the record, always implicates the discretionary aspects of sentence that is subject to waiver, or whether such a challenge actually may implicate the legality of sentence and is non-waivable, as Judge Kunselman correctly concluded in her concurring opinion?

The parties are directed to address the Opinion Announcing the Judgment of the Court in Commonwealth v. Foster, 17 A.3d 332 (Pa. 2011) (plurality), that was adopted by Commonwealth v. Barnes, 151 A.3d 121 (Pa. 2016).
