ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 2nd day of July, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
DISMISSED. Only final orders of the Superior Court may be challenged through
allocatur review. See 42 Pa.C.S. §724(a). The Superior Court’s remand order, which
specifically noted that jurisdiction was retained, was not final. See Pa.R.A.P. 1112(b)
(defining a final order, for purposes of allocatur, as one which “concludes an appeal,
including an order that remands an appeal, . . . unless the appellate court remands and
retains jurisdiction”).
