Petition for Allowance of Appeal No. 596 EAL 2008 from the Order of the Superior Court.

Prior Report: Pa.Super., 964 A.2d 452.

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 19th day of May, 2009, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED, LIMITED to the following issue:

Whether under Pa.R.C.P. 213(a) a trial court order, which states that two separately docketed cases involving different plaintiffs and different theories of liability are "consolidated for all purposes," and does not otherwise specify that a joint trial of the cases is to be held, operates automatically to merge the pleadings filed in the separate cases?
