ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 4th day of November, 2020, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal

is GRANTED. The issues, as stated by petitioner, are:

a. Is the language of a commutation a permissible basis for the Parole
Board to deviate from the presumptive recommitment ranges for a
convicted parole violator and to not establish a new minimum parole
eligibility date?

b. The Commonwealth Court erred when it affirmed the Parole Board’s
decision to deny Petitioner credit for time spent at liberty on parole
when the reason offered was unsupported by the record and/or
contrary to law.
