Opinion

November 21, 2007.

Appeal No. 43 WAP 2005 from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County entered September 26, 2005 at No. CP-02-CR-0011326-2004.


ORDER


AND NOW, this 21st day of November, 2007, the order of the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas is reversed insofar as it declared Section 3802 of the Vehicle Code, 75 Pa.C.S. § 3802, unconstitutional, and the case is remanded for further proceedings. This Court upheld the constitutionality of Sections 3802(a)(2) and 3802(c) in Commonwealth v. Duda, 592 Pa. 164, 923 A.2d 1138 (2007), and Commonwealth v. Finchio, 592 Pa. 577, 926 A.2d 968 (2007), respectively. Although Appellee was charged under Section 3802(b), this Court explained in Finchio that "[t]he difference in the statutory BAC threshold is immaterial to the analysis employed in Duda." Finchio, 926 A.2d at 971. The Commonwealth's petition for an immediate remand is dismissed as moot.
