ORDER

PER CURIAM.

AND NOW, this 17th day of September 2004, we GRANT the Petition for Allowance of Appeal, LIMITED to the following issue:

“Is it error for the trial court to give a ‘no adverse inference’ instruction in a multiple-defendant trial where one defendant requests the instruction and the other defendant waives his or her right to the instruction?”
