ALTMAN, INSURANCE COMMISSIONER AND PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, BY RACHEL LEVINE, SECRETARY OF HEALTH v. UPMC, A NONPROFIT CORP.; UPE, A/K/A HIGHMARK HEALTH, A NONPROFIT CORP. AND HIGHMARK, INC., A NONPROFIT CORP. PETITION OF: COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, BY JOSH SHAPIRO, ATTORNEY GENERAL
ORDER
AND NOW, this 16th day of April, 2019, upon consideration of the Petition for Permission to Appeal, or, in the Alternative, Application for Extraordinary Relief, permission to appeal is GRANTED. See 42 Pa.C.S. §702(b). The Prothonotary is DIRECTED to establish a briefing schedule to ensure that the matter is listed for argument at the May 2019 session.
The Commonwealth Court severed Count I from the other counts of the Petition to Modify filed by the Office of Attorney General. See Commonwealth v. UPMC, 334 MD 2014 (order dated March 12, 2019). Except for Count I, the instant order granting permission to appeal does not operate as a stay on the Commonwealth Court's consideration of this ongoing litigation. See Pa.R.A.P. 1701(b)(5).
