ORDER

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 4th day of January, 2022, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED, LIMITED TO the issue set forth below. Allocatur is DENIED as to all

remaining issues. The issue, as stated by Appellant, is:

Did the trial court err by misinterpreting and misapplying the law and appellate decisions when it denied Appellant standing to intervene in the adoption of [K.L.] despite uncontroverted proof that Appellant stood in loco parentis for the subject child by assuming the role of parent and discharging parental duties?

Appellant’s Motion for Leave to Amend his Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

hereby DENIED.

Justice Brobson did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.
