In the Interest of: L.J.B Appeal of: A.A.R. ( 2018 )

[J-57-2018][M.O. - Donohue, J.] IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE DISTRICT IN THE INTEREST OF: L.J.B., A MINOR : No. 10 MAP 2018 : : Appeal from the Order of the Superior : Court at No. 884 MDA 2017 dated : 12/27/17 vacating the order of Clinton APPEAL OF: A.A.R., NATURAL : County Court of Common Pleas, MOTHER : Juvenile Division, dated 5/24/17 at No. : CP-18-DP-0000009-2017 and : remanding for further proceedings : : ARGUED: September 25, 2018 CONCURRING OPINION CHIEF JUSTICE SAYLOR DECIDED: December 28, 2018 In terms of plain meaning, I believe the Superior Court’s interpretation is reasonable in light of the two-year statutory lookback period. Nevertheless, I also find sufficient ambiguity to apply the principles of statutory construction, and on that basis I concur in the result. Justice Dougherty joins this concurring opinion.
