ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 24th day of September, 2014, the Petition for Allowance of

than counsel’s negligence, Petitioner is entitled to a counsel-filed Petition for Allowance
of Appeal. See Pa.R.Crim.P. 122; Commonwealth v. Liebel, 825 A.2d 630 (Pa. 2003).
Counsel is DIRECTED to file a Petition for Allowance of Appeal within 15 days of this
