IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA MIDDLE DISTRICT SHARON WISE, Petitioner v. HUNTINGDON COUNTY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE COUNTY OF HUNTINGDON, CHESTNUT TERRACE RESIDENT'S ASSOCIATION AND WEATHERIZATION INC., A NON PROFIT CORPORATION D/B/A HUNTINGDON COUNTY HOUSING SERVICES, Respondents : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : No. 404 MAL 2019 Petition for Allowance of Appeal from the Order of the Commonwealth Court ORDER PER CURIAM AND NOW, this 27th day of December, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issue, as stated by Petitioner is: Whether the Commonwealth Court, in affirming the Huntingdon County Trial Court’s grant of Summary Judgment, has unwarrantedly expanded sovereign immunity under 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 8521 et. seq., and hence, continued the dwindling applicability of the real estate exception under 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 8522(b)(4) to a dangerous level in its continued disregard of the legislative intent of the Sovereign Immunity Act and enumerated exceptions, and also advances existing conflict and confusion within an already unclear legal history?
