Opinion

PER CURIAM .

AND NOW, this 2nd day of July, 2018, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, truncated and slightly rephrased, is:

Does an individual give up his expectation of privacy in the closed private files stored on his computer, merely by taking his computer to a commercial establishment for service or repair, where the service or repair requested does not render the viewing of the citizen[']s closed private files as foreseeable to either the customer or the computer technician?
