ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 28th day of January, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is
GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issues set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all
remaining issues. The issues, as stated by petitioner are:
(1) Whether the Commonwealth Court erred in reversing the appeal
board’s affirmance of the WCJ’s grant of [Petitioner’s] suspension
petition for a 75 week period which allowed [Petitioner] to assert a
credit against [Respondent’s] future compensation for money paid to
[Respondent] during his incarceration as the grant of a suspension
was consistent with the Act and the applicable case law?
(2) Whether the Commonwealth Court’s interpretation that [Petitioner] is
precluded from suspending benefits under the circumstances of this
case, creates an unequal application of the law for similarly situated
claimants, and similarly-situated employers in violation of the Equal
Protection guarantees of the Constitutions of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and the United States of America?
Petitioner’s Application for Supersedeas is DENIED.
