Summary of this case from Commonwealth v. ScheerOpinion
No. 297 WAL 2021

COMMONWEALTH of Pennsylvania, Respondent v. Rodney Sterling MCGEE, Petitioner
ORDER
PER CURIAM.
AND NOW, this 12th day of April, 2022, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by petitioner, is:
Does the Superior Court's continued application herein and elsewhere of its holding in Commonwealth v. Jackson, 30 A.3d 516 (Pa. Super. 2011), that a trial court's inherent jurisdiction to correct patent and obvious mistakes in its records and orders is subject to the time-bar provisions of the PCRA improperly constrict trial courts' jurisdiction, improperly expand the scope of the time-bar, and/or conflict with this Honorable Court's decision in Commonwealth v. Holmes, 593 Pa. 601, 933 A.2d 57 (2007), which recognized that claims invoking said jurisdiction are not cognizable under the PCRA and thus not subject to the time-bar?
