AND NOW, this 28th day of March, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all
remaining issues. The issue, as stated by Petitioner, is:

the Pennsylvania Constitution, Article I, §11, where it arbitrarily and
capriciously deprives some patients of any access to courts, but permits
actions by similarly situated patients?
