PER CURIAM:

AND NOW, this 12th day of August 2005, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is granted limited to:

Where two defendants are found jointly and severally liable, one defendant has sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy the entire judgment, and the other defendant’s insurer is insolvent, may a court direct the judgment creditor to seek satisfaction exclusively from the solvent insurer, thus effectively discharging the Pennsylvania Property Casualty Insurance Guaranty Association of all liability?
