§ 65.12. Initial Review of Docketing Statements.
Central Legal Staff is responsible for the screening of docketing statements filed pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 3517. These statements are to be initially screened to determine if the appeal is jurisdictionally or procedurally defective. Failure to file a timely docketing statement may result in dismissal of the appeal. However, no appeal shall be subject to being quashed or dismissed on the basis of review of the completed docketing statement alone; rather, if a potential defect is identified, a rule-to-show-cause order shall issue to the appellant as to why the appeal should not be quashed or dismissed . Following notification to counsel, the appeal is subject to being quashed or dismissed by the assigned monthly motions judge.
