Myers[, 118 A.3d 1122 (Pa. Super. 2015)]?The order of the Superior Court is VACATED, and the case is REMANDED for reconsideration in light of Commonwealth v. Myers, ___ A.3d ___, 2017 WL 3045867 (Pa. July 19, 2017). Allocatur is DENIED without prejudice as to all remaining issues, as the Superior Court has not yet considered them in the first instance, and it may do so on remand.
