Summary

In Commonwealth v. Dunn, 95 A.3d 272, 273 (Pa. 2014) (per curiam), our Supreme Court granted allowance of appeal, vacated a decision of this Court, and remanded for reconsideration in light of Gary. If Gary applied prospectively only, there would be no need to order this Court to reconsider a decision applying the now-superseded limited automobile exception.
