Order Regarding Alternative Filing Procedure for Children's Fast Track Appeals

Per Curiam

 And Now, this 27th day of March, 2020, It Is Ordered pursuant to Article V, Section 10 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, that in the event a court of common pleas is unable to accommodate the filing of a notice of appeal in a matter constituting a Children's fast track appeal as defined in Rule 102 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure, an attorney may file a notice of appeal in the Superior Court district corresponding to the applicable court of common pleas, pursuant to the miscellaneous filing procedure set forth in the Superior Court's Order dated March 26, 2020, Superior Court Administrative Docket No. 3. The filing in the Superior Court must be accompanied by the filing attorney's certification that filing of the notice of appeal in the appropriate court of common pleas, and service on the trial judge pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 906(a)(2), is impractical due to the closure of court facilities during the judicial emergency.

 This Order shall be posted on the Unified Judicial System website and shall be effective immediately.
