TRIAL COURT TRANSMITS NOTICE OF APPEAL

Practice Tip
If you are an appellant and do not receive an appeal docket and docketing statement within a few weeks of filing the Notice of Appeal in the trial court, check with the trial court filing office.

Practice Tip
If you are an appellee and believe the appeal is jurisdictionally or procedurally improper, you may file a motion to quash, dismiss or transfer the appeal. See Pa.R.A.P. 1972. Note the time requirements for filing dispositive motions in Children's Fast Track appeals. See Pa.R.A.P. 1972(b).
