Opinion

PER CURIAM.

After examining the record on appeal and considering the briefs and ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‍oral arguments of the parties, we have determined that the appeal in this case should be dismissed on the ground that certification was improvidently granted.1

The ‍‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​​​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‍appeal is dismissed.
