ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 17th day of May, 2005, having found merit in Appellee's argument that the issue on which appeal was allowed does not control the ultimate disposition of the case since there are multiple unchallenged theories of liability supporting the Superior Court's disposition, we AFFIRM the Superior Court's order, without reaching the issue on which allocatur was granted.
