ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 2nd day of August, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner is:
(1) Whether the Pennsylvania Personnel File Act [43 P.S. §§1321-24]’s
definition of “current employee” means former employee, as was held by
the Commonwealth Court in this case when it erroneously relied on
nonprecedential dicta in an earlier Commonwealth Court decision
(Beitman v. Dep’t. of Labor & Indus., 675 A.2d 1300 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1996))?
