PHILADELPHIA COUNTY

Scheduling Civil Trials Involving State Prisoners; Administrative Doc. 02 of 2000

[30 Pa.B. 6549]

   And Now, this 1st day of December, 2000, it is hereby Ordered and Decreed that Administrative Docket 06 of 1998 is hereby rescinded.

Requests for the presence of an on-writ state incarcerated prisoner shall be weighed against the scheduling impact on criminal listings, the availability of prison bed space, the availability of sheriffs to both guard and transport the prisoner, the current prison population, the costs associated with the request, the availability of alternatives such as video conferencing, and other factors deemed appropriate to the decision.
