ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 22nd day of March, 2013, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:

Did Superior Court err by holding in a published opinion that an incarcerated career criminal has a due process right to a hearing at which the trial court must determine—on a charge by charge basis—whether over a hundred prior criminal charges against him should be expunged?

The issue will be SUBMITTED on briefs.
