MINOR COURT RULES COMMITTEEADOPTION REPORT

Amendment of Pa.R.Civ.P.M.D.J. 217

On December 1, 2021, the Supreme Court amended Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure Governing Actions and Proceedings Before Magisterial District Judges 217 to conform with recent amendments to the Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania (“Policy”). See Order of October 6, 2021, No. 556 Judicial Administration Docket. The Minor Court Rules Committee has prepared this Adoption Report describing the rulemaking process as it relates to Pa.R.Civ.P.M.D.J. 217. An Adoption Report should not be confused with Comments to the rules. See Pa.R.J.A. 103, Comment. The statements contained herein are those of the Committee, not the Court.

The amendments to the Policy, effective on January 1, 2022, require the statewide use of the Confidential Information Form to safeguard confidential information and eliminate the ability of a court to adopt a rule or order permitting the filing of any document in two versions, redacted and unredacted. While the Policy never permitted the filing of redacted/unredacted versions in the magisterial district courts, the Committee recommended deleting an exception to Rule 217, which permitted a rule or order of court to supersede the requirement to attach of a Confidential Information Form, if necessary.

It is Ordered pursuant to Article V, Section 10 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania that Rules 127 and 1931 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure are amended in the attached form.

This Order shall be processed in accordance with Pa.R.J.A. 103(b), and shall be effective January 1, 2022.

Additions to the rule are shown in bold and are underlined.Deletions from the rule are shown in bold and brackets.

APPELLATE COURT PROCEDURAL RULES COMMITTEEADOPTION REPORT

Amendment of Pa.R.A.P. 127 and 1931

On December 1, 2021, the Supreme Court amended Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure 127 and 1931 to conform the rules to recent amendments to the Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania adopted on October 6, 2021. The Appellate Court

Procedural Rules Committee has prepared this Adoption Report describing the rulemaking process. An Adoption Report should not be confused with Comments to the rules. See Pa.R.J.A. 103, Comment. The statements contained herein are those of the Committee, not the Court.

Effective January 1, 2022, the amendments to Section 7.0(A) and (C) of the Policy require filers to safeguard confidential information using a Confidential Information Form. Prior to the amendments, the Policy provided an option for a court to adopt a rule or order to permit the filing of a document in two versions, a “Redacted Version” and an “Unredacted Version” rather than require the use of the Confidential Information Form. In addition, Section 9.0(H) has been added to indicate that the amendments to the Policy do not apply retroactively to documents filed with a court prior to their effective date.

Pa.R.A.P. 127 governs confidential information and confidential documents in appellate filings, including the certification that a filing is compliant with the Policy; Pa.R.A.P. 1931 governs transmission of the record. Conforming amendments have been made to delete references within the rule and comment relating to the option for a court to require redacted and unredacted versions of a document when safeguarding confidential information.

Rule 127. Confidential Information and Confidential Documents. Certification.

(a) Unless public access is otherwise constrained by applicable authority, any attorney or any unrepresented party who files a document pursuant to these rules shall comply with the requirements of Sections 7.0 and 8.0 of the Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania (“Public Access Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the filing shall include a certification of compliance with the Policy and, as necessary, a Confidential Information Form[, unless otherwise specified by rule or order of court,] or a Confidential Document Form.

(b) Unless an appellate court orders otherwise, case records or documents that are sealed by a court, government unit, or other tribunal shall remain sealed on appeal.

[Official Note] Comment:

Paragraph (a)—“Applicable authority” includes but is not limited to statute, procedural rule, or court order. The Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania (“Public Access Policy”) can be found at https://www.pacourts.us/public-records.

Appropriate forms can be found at https://www.pacourts.us/public-records. [Pursuant to Section 7.0(C) of the Policy, a court may adopt a rule or order that permits, in lieu of a Confidential Information Form, the filing of a document in two versions, that is, a “Redacted Version” and an “Unredacted Version.”] For certification of the Reproduced Record and Supplemental Reproduced Record in compliance with the Public Access Policy, see Pa.R.A.P. 2152, 2156, 2171, and accompanying notes.

If an appeal has been allowed or if permission to appeal has been granted, the record shall be transmitted as provided by Pa.R.A.P. 1122 or by Pa.R.A.P. 1322, as the case may be. The appellate court may shorten or extend the time prescribed by this subparagraph for a class or classes of cases.

(2) [Children’s fast track appeals.] Children’s Fast Track Appeals. In a children›s fast track appeal, the record on appeal, including the transcript and exhibits necessary for the determination of the appeal, shall be transmitted to the appellate court within 30 days after the filing of the notice of appeal.

(b) [Duty of trial court.] Duty of Trial Court. After a notice of appeal has been filed, the judge who entered the order appealed from shall comply with Pa.R.A.P. 1925, shall cause the official court reporter to comply with Pa.R.A.P. 1922 or shall otherwise settle a statement of the evidence or proceedings as prescribed by this chapter, and shall take any other action necessary to enable the clerk to assemble and transmit the record as prescribed by this rule.

(c) [Duty of clerk to transmit the record.] Duty of Clerk to Transmit the Record.

physically or electronically and transmitted to the appellate court. Whatever is confidential shall be labeled as such. If any case records or documents were sealed in the lower court, the list of documents comprising the record shall specifically identify such records or documents as having been sealed in the lower court. Documents of unusual bulk or weight and physical exhibits other than documents shall not be transmitted by the clerk unless he or she is directed to do so by a party or by the prothonotary of the appellate court. A party must make advance arrangements with the clerk for the transportation and receipt of exhibits of unusual bulk or weight. Transmission of the record is effected when the clerk of the trial court mails or otherwise forwards the record to the prothonotary of the appellate court. The clerk of the trial court shall indicate, by endorsement on the face of the record or otherwise, the date upon which the record is transmitted to the appellate court.

(d) [Service of the list of record documents.] Service of the List of Record Documents. The clerk of the trial court shall, at the time of the transmittal of the record to the appellate court, mail a copy of the list of record documents to all counsel of record, or if unrepresented by counsel, to the parties at the address they have provided to the clerk. The clerk shall note on the docket the giving of such notice.

(e) [Multiple appeals.] Multiple Appeals. Where more than one appeal is taken from the same order, it shall be sufficient to transmit a single record, without duplication.

(f) [Inconsistency between list of record documents and documents actually transmitted.] Inconsistency Between List of Record Documents and Documents Actually Transmitted. If the clerk of the trial court fails to transmit to the appellate court all of the documents identified in the list of record documents, such failure shall be deemed a breakdown in processes of the court. Any omission shall be corrected promptly pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 1926 and shall not be the basis for any penalty against a party.

[Official Note] Comment: Pa.R.A.P.1926 provides the means to resolve any disagreement between the parties as to what should be included in the record on appeal.

Paragraph (c) – On January 1, 2022, the Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System was amended to require the filing of the Confidential Information Form and eliminate the filing of “Redacted Versions” and “Unredacted Versions” of pleadings, documents, or other legal papers. Section 9.0(H) of the amended Policy continues to protect “Unredacted Versions” that were filed under the prior version of the Policy. For any “Unredacted Version,” the clerk of the trial court should continue to comply with the requirements of paragraph (c) when transmitting the record to the appellate court.

AND NOW, this 30th day of November, 2021, upon the recommendation of the Juvenile Court Procedural Rules Committee, the proposal having been published for public comment at 50 Pa.B. 3836 (August 1, 2020):

It is Ordered pursuant to Article V, Section 10 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania that Pennsylvania Rules of Juvenile Court Procedure 240, 391, and 404 are amended in the attached form.

This Order shall be processed in accordance with Pa.R.J.A. 103(b), and shall be effective on April 1, 2022.

Additions to the rule are shown in bold and are underlined.Deletions from the rule are shown in bold and brackets.

JUVENILE COURT PROCEDURAL RULES COMMITTEEADOPTION REPORT

Amendment of Pa.R.J.C.P. 240, 391, and 404

On November 30, 2021, the Supreme Court amended Pennsylvania Rules of Juvenile Court Procedure 240, 391, and 404 to clarify procedures to permit the extended detention of a juvenile when procedural requirements are not met. The Juvenile Court Procedural Rules Committee has prepared this Adoption Report describing the rulemaking process. An Adoption Report should not be confused with Comments to the rules. See Pa.R.J.A. 103, Comment. The statements contained herein are those of the Committee, not the Court.

The Juvenile Act permits a juvenile to be detained prior to an adjudicatory hearing. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 6325. The Pennsylvania Rules of Juvenile Court Procedure implement this aspect of the Juvenile Act. See Pa.R.J.C.P. 240-243. Pre-adjudicatory detention of a juvenile is typically brief because the juvenile is expected to receive a prompt adjudicatory hearing within 10 days of the filing of a petition. See Pa.R.J.C.P. 404(A).

If a detained juvenile does not receive a prompt adjudicatory hearing, then the juvenile is to be immediately released. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 6335(a); Pa.R.J.C.P. 404(A). However, there are two exceptions to immediate release when the adjudicatory hearing is delayed due to: 1) presently unavailable evidence and the juvenile’s life would be in danger, the community would be endangered, or the juvenile will fail to appear at the hearing; or 2) the juvenile. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 6335(a), (f). These exceptions are generally codified at Pa.R.J.C.P. 240(D)(1)-(D)(2).

When a timely hearing cannot be held and either exception is applicable, the juvenile is not immediately released. Instead, the juvenile court must decide whether to release the juvenile or continue to detain the juvenile. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 6335(a), (f) (permitting, but not requiring, continued detention); Pa.R.J.C.P. 240(D) (same).

The Committee published for comment several amendments to the rules governing extended pre-adjudicatory detention. See 50 Pa.B. 3836 (August 1, 2020). First, Rule 391(B) states “if the transfer hearing is not held within ten days of the filing of the notice of request for transfer to criminal proceedings, the juvenile shall be released except as provided in paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2).” The text of paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2) are almost identical to Rule 240(D) with the exception of “including a psychological or psychiatric evaluation” in paragraph (B)(1)(a). Rather than repeat the language of Rule 240(D), the Committee proposed removing the language from Rule 391(B)(1) and (B)(2) and refer the reader to Rule 240(D). A similar approach had already been taken with Rule 404(A).

Second, Rule 240(D) states “except as provided in paragraph (D)(1) and (D)(2), if the adjudicatory hearing is not held or notice of request for transfer is not submitted within the ten-day period as specified in Rules 391 and 404, the juvenile shall be released.” It was apparent to the Committee that the triggering event for continued detention when a transfer is initiated differs between Rule 391(B) and Rule 240(D). Rule 391(B) is triggered when a transfer hearing is untimely whereas Rule 240(D) is triggered when the notice of request for a transfer hearing is untimely. The Committee believed that the triggering event should be the transfer hearing, not the notice. Therefore, the Committee proposed amending Rule 240(D) to include the transfer hearing and remove mention of the notice.

Third, the Committee proposed introducing a motion requirement to Rule 240(D). This requirement is not separate from that for seeking a continuance, but part of a motion for continuance pursuant to Rule 122. The Committee also proposed expanding the court’s consideration of the necessity for continued detention anytime that continued detention is sought. Finally, the Committee proposed removing the juvenile’s attorney as a cause for the juvenile’s continued detention, as set forth in Rule 240(D)(2)(a)-(b).

In response to the proposal, concern was expressed that the proposed amendment of Rule 240(D)(2)(a), which would result in the juvenile’s immediate release for delays attributable to a juvenile’s attorney’s unavailability, may have ventured beyond procedure and into substantive matters. Further, there was a potential public safety concern if an attorney’s unavailability may otherwise result in the release of a juvenile who may pose a threat to the public.

The Committee acknowledges 42 Pa.C.S. § 6335(f)(1) is unambiguous: if a juvenile’s attorney is unavailable, then the juvenile can be further detained. Subjecting a juvenile to further detention is a substantive matter involving one’s liberty interest. Any remedy to the application of § 6335(f)(1) lies with the General Assembly through amendment of the Juvenile Act rather than through rulemaking. Accordingly, the proposed amendment of Rule 240(D)(2)(a) was removed from the proposal.

Post-publication, the Committee considered the interplay of Pa.R.J.C.P. 240(D) and Pa.R.J.C.P. 404. The time requirements for an adjudicatory hearing pursuant to paragraphs (A) and (B) of Pa.R.J.C.P. 404 (Prompt Adjudicatory Hearing) pivot on whether a juvenile is detained. However, paragraph (C) treats decertified juveniles differently: “Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (A) and (B), if a petition was filed pursuant to Rule 337, an adjudicatory hearing shall be held within ten days of the filing of the petition.”

Paragraph (C) did not account for whether a juvenile was being detained and often decertifications are complicated cases involving severe types of offenses. The Committee considered whether the hearing deadline should also pivot on whether the juvenile is detained, noting that the Comment to Pa.R.J.C.P. 337 (Filing of Petition After Case has been Transferred from Criminal Proceedings) states: “If the juvenile is detained, an adjudicatory hearing is to be held within ten days of the filing of the petition. See also Rule 404.” Additionally, paragraph (C) did not acknowledge that the youth may have been released on bail in criminal court and likewise might not be placed in detention by the juvenile court.

The Committee recommended removing paragraph (C) from Rule 404 so that juveniles transferred from criminal court would be subject to either paragraph (A) or paragraph (B) depending on their detention status. A Comment was added to instruct the reader.

Additional commentary was added post-publication to Pa.R.J.C.P. 240 setting forth the factors to be considered when the court considers whether continued detention is warranted.

These amendments become effective April 1, 2022.

Rule 240. Detention of Juvenile

(A) Detention [r]Requirements. If a juvenile is brought before the court or delivered to a detention facility designated by the court, the juvenile probation officer immediately shall:

(1) examine the written allegation;

(2) make an investigation, which may include an intake conference with the juvenile, the juvenile’s attorney, guardian, or other interested and informed adult; and

(3) release the juvenile, unless it appears that the juvenile’s detention is warranted.

(B) Filing of [p]Petition. The release of the juvenile shall not prevent the subsequent filing of a petition.

(C) Prompt [h]Hearing. If the juvenile is not released, a detention hearing shall be held no later than [seventy-two] 72 hours after the juvenile is placed in




detention. Neither the juvenile nor the juvenile’s attorney shall be permitted to waive the detention hearing.

(D) Time [r]Restrictions. Except as provided in this paragraph[s (D)(1) and (D)(2)], if the adjudicatory hearing is not held [or notice of request for transfer is not submitted within the ten-day period as specified in Rules 391 and 404], as required by Rule 404(A), or a transfer hearing is not held, as required by Rule 391(B), the juvenile shall be released.

(1) [A] Upon motion, a juvenile may be detained for an additional single period not to exceed [ten]10 days when the court determines that:

(a) evidence material to the case is unavailable;

(b) due diligence to obtain such evidence has been exercised; and

(c) there are reasonable grounds to believe that such evidence will be available at a later date[; and].

[d) the detention of the juvenile would be warranted.]

(1) [A] Upon motion, a juvenile may be detained for [successive ten-day intervals] additional periods, each of which shall not exceed 10 days, if the delay is caused by the juvenile. The court shall state on the record if failure to hold the hearing resulted from delay caused by the juvenile. Delay caused by the juvenile shall include, but not be limited to:

(a) delay caused by the unavailability of the juvenile or the juvenile’s attorney;

(b) delay caused by any continuance granted at the request of the juvenile [or the juvenile’s attorney]; or

(c) delay caused by the unavailability of a witness resulting from conduct by or on behalf of the juvenile.

(3) Whenever extended detention is sought under this paragraph, the court shall consider whether detention remains warranted.

Comment

If a juvenile is detained, the guardian should be notified immediately. See Rules 220 (Procedure in Cases Commenced by Arrest Without Warrant) and 313(B) (Detention from Intake—Notice to Guardian) for notification of the guardian.

Nothing in paragraph (C) is intended to preclude the use of stipulations or agreements among the parties, subject to court review and acceptance at the detention hearing.

Under paragraph (D)(2), if the juvenile causes delay, the juvenile may continue to be held in detention. [The a]Additional periods of detention should not individually exceed ten days. [The court may continue such detention for successive ten-day intervals if the juvenile caused the delay.] The time restrictions of paragraph (D) apply to a juvenile who is placed in detention, even if previously released.

For motions for continuance, see Rule 122.

Under paragraph (D)(3), whenever extension of a juvenile’s detention may result, the court should consider whether continued detention is warranted and whether a less restrictive alternative to secured detention is available. Factors for determining whether continued detention is warranted include: protection of the juvenile; protection of others or their property; the risk the juvenile may abscond or be removed from the court’s jurisdiction; and whether the juvenile has a parent, guardian, or custodian able to provide supervision and care for the juvenile and return the juvenile to the court when required. See 42 Pa.C.S. § 6325.

[For time restrictions on detention for juveniles scheduled for a transfer hearing to criminal proceedings, see Rule 391.]

For statutory provisions on detention, see 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 6325, 6331, 6335. For the Juvenile Court Judges Commission’s Detention Standards, see 37 Pa. Code §§ 200.101 et seq. (200[3]7).

If a juvenile is detained, the juvenile is to be placed in a detention facility, which does not include a county jail or state prison. See Rule 120 and its Comment for definition of ‘‘detention facility.’’

Official Note: Rule 240 adopted April 1, 2005, effective October 1, 2005. Amended June 28, 2013, effective immediately. Amended May 16, 2017, effective July 1, 2017. Amended November 30, 2021, effective April 1, 2022.

Rule 391. Time Restrictions for Detention of Juveniles Scheduled for Transfer Hearing(A) Generally. The detention requirements of Rules 240, 241, 242, and 243 shall

be followed for juveniles scheduled for a transfer hearing [except for the time restrictions provided in paragraph (B) of this rule].

(B) Time Restrictions. If the transfer hearing is not held within [ten] 10 days

of the filing of the notice of request for transfer to criminal proceedings, the juvenile shall be released [except as provided in paragraphs (B)(1) and (B)(2)] unless the exceptions of Rule 240(D) apply.

[(1) A juvenile may be detained for an additional single period not to exceed ten days when the court determines:

(a) that evidence material to the case is unavailable, including a psychological or psychiatric evaluation;

(b) that due diligence to obtain such evidence or evaluation has been exercised;

(c) that there are reasonable grounds to believe that such evidence or evaluation will be available at a later date; and

(d) that the detention of the juvenile would be warranted.

(1) A juvenile may be detained for successive ten-day intervals if the result of delay is caused by the juvenile. The court shall state on the record if failure to hold the hearing resulted from delay caused by the juvenile. Delay caused by the juvenile shall include, but not be limited to:

(a) delay caused by the unavailability of the juvenile or the juvenile’s attorney;

(b) delay caused by any continuance granted at the request of the juvenile or the juvenile’s attorney; or

(c) delay caused by the unavailability of a witness resulting from conduct by or on behalf of the juvenile.]

Comment

The filing of a request for transfer to criminal proceedings resets the [ten] 10-day clock for a hearing for the juvenile in detention. The transfer hearing is to be held within [ten] 10 days of the filing of a request for transfer to criminal proceedings, not [ten] 10 days from the date of detention for the juvenile. This time requirement is different than the time requirement for the adjudicatory hearing under Rule 240(D). See Rule 800.

[Under Paragraph (B)(1), the case may be extended for only one single period of ten days. However, under paragraph (B)(2) when the juvenile causes delay, the case may be extended for successive ten-day intervals.]

Rule 404. Prompt Adjudicatory Hearing(A) Detained [j]Juvenile. If the juvenile is detained, an adjudicatory hearing shall

be held within [ten] 10 days of the filing of the petition. If the adjudicatory hearing is not held within [ten] 10 days, the juvenile shall be released unless the exceptions of Rule 240(D) apply.

(B) Non-detained [j]Juvenile. If the juvenile is not detained, the adjudicatory hearing shall be held within a reasonable time.

[(C) Juveniles transferred from criminal proceedings. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (A) and (B), if a petition was filed pursuant to Rule 337, an adjudicatory hearing shall be held within ten days of the filing of the petition.]

Comment

The “filing of a petition” in paragraph (A) includes petitions filed pursuant to Rule 337 if the juvenile is detained following transfer from criminal proceedings.

Docket No. 21 EM 2020

In Re: Philadelphia Municipal Court’s Request Pursuant to Pa.R.J.A. 1952(B)(2)(m) to Authorize the President Judge of the Philadelphia Municipal Court to Temporarily suspend Statewide Court Rules restricting the use of Advanced Communication Technology

Patrick F. Dugan, President Judge of the Philadelphia Municipal Court, hereby requests the Supreme Court to authorize the President Judge of the Philadelphia Municipal Court to continue to suspend the operation of any rule restricting the use of Advanced Communication Technology, and represents as follows:




1. By order dated November 3, 2021, the undersigned was authorized to suspend rules that restrict the use of Advanced Communication Technology (ACT) in court proceedings, subject to state and federal constitutional limitations, through December 1, 2021.

2. The November 3, 2021 order was partly based on the First Judicial District’s extraordinary steps, from the onset of the pandemic, to ensure that criminal proceedings were held as safely and timely as possible. In fact, throughout the pandemic, the Philadelphia Municipal Court’s criminal division NEVER closed, was able to pivot from in-person proceedings to conducting as many proceedings as possible through the use of Advanced Communication Technology with the continued assistance and cooperation of its justice partners which include the Defender Association, the District Attorney’s Office, the private Bar, the Philadelphia Department of Prisons, the Sheriff’s Office, the Philadelphia Police Department, the City of Philadelphia’s Managing Director’s Office, and the Department of Public Property as well as its building management subcontractor.

3. Municipal Court judges assigned to criminal matters are continuing to work in the Courthouse, and in their courtroom in conducting both in-person and remote hearings and proceedings.

4. The Philadelphia Municipal Court has been able to reasonably and timely dispose of its case inventory by utilizing ACT to conduct preliminary arraignments, emergent motion hearings, Early Bail Review, Crash Court and Bench Warrant hearings which have enabled the release of eligible incarcerated defendants. In addition, Municipal Court judges are assigned and are present in-person at the Detention Center and do conduct in-person preliminary hearings to the extent inmates and other court participants are able to safely participate in-person or partially remotely.

5. Due to Covid exposure and Covid-related conditions, as described below, it is often not possible to conduct full in-person proceedings either at the Detention Center or at the Courthouse. While most proceedings are currently being conducted in-person, continued utilization of Advanced Communication Technology is necessary to assist the Philadelphia Municipal Court to manage criminal matters in a manner that both maximizes the safety of all court participants and enables the Court to conduct timely court proceedings bene�ting all involved parties.

6. Covid-19 cases in Philadelphia county have increased recently. The daily average for new reported cases by day as of November 28, 2021 is 295, representing a 14-day increase of 45%. The First Judicial District’s number of positive cases among employees has continued to fluctuate, despite the District’s implementation of a Covid-19 vaccination requirement for employees and a masking requirement for all other court users. The growing number of Covid-19 variants, including the recently discovered Covid omicron variant, necessitate the continuation of measures necessary to limit the spread of Covid, including continuation of remote hearings as necessary.

7. The Philadelphia Department of Prisons continues to experience increasing positive COVID-19 cases. Inmates who have been exposed to fellow Covid positive inmates or staff, or are suspected of being infected, or who have tested positive for Covid-19 are quarantine and are thus unable to participate in in-court proceedings. The staf�ng shortage experienced by the Department of Prisons has also impacted their ability to transport prisoners for in-court proceedings. Remote proceedings using advanced communication technologies are critical and necessary to enable the Court to timely schedule and hold preliminary hearings and other proceedings.

8. Transporting prisoners for in-person proceedings and conducting other in-person proceedings presents a potential threat to prison and court staff, as well as other court participants, by exposing them to prolonged contact with inmates and other parties who may have been exposed to Covid-19 and having the ability to utilize ACT diminishes such potential threat.

Therefore, due to the factors noted above as well as detailed in previous requests to this Court, the undersigned respectfully requests that the Court enter an order authorizing the undersigned to continue to temporarily suspend, subject to state and federal constitutional requirements, any state or local rule restricting the use of Advanced Communication Technology.

Respectfully submitted, /s/ Patrick F. Dugan _____________________________________ Honorable Patrick F. Dugan President Judge, Philadelphia Municipal Court Date: November 29, 2021

Philadelphia Municipal Court Landlord Tenant Diversion ProgramService of Writs of Possession - Completed Rental Assistance Applications

ORDER

AND NOW, this 24th day of November, 2021, in furtherance of the authority granted to the undersigned by the Supreme Court in continuing the Philadelphia Municipal Court Landlord Tenant Diversion Program, subject to the continued adequate funding of the Emergency Rental Assistance Program, and in order to clearly provide the timelines for service of writs of possession due to the status of Rental Applications filed with the City of Philadelphia’s Diversion/Rental Assistance Program, it is hereby ORDERED and DECREED that effective December 1, 2021 no Alias Writ of Possession previously issued by the Philadelphia Municipal Court shall be served (i.e., no lockout shall occur) in any matter where a Rental Assistance Application has been marked “Complete” by the City of Philadelphia, further provided that:

1. the matter was marked complete on or after September 1, 2021. Matters marked complete prior to September 1, 2021 are eligible for service of an Alias Writ (i.e., lockout); and

2. the initial application was made on or after July 1, 2021. Matters marked complete which were initiated prior to July 1, 2021 are eligible for service of an Alias Writ (i.e., lockout); and

3. the basis for the Judgment of possession was other than “termination of term” or “breach of the lease terms,” that is, for non-payment of rent. The intention of this subparagraph is to make it clear that even if a matter is marked “complete” a landlord may proceed with a lockout if the basis for possession was “termination of term” or “breach of the lease terms,” or both.

As of December 1, 2021, the term “Complete” shall mean that no further documentation is necessary for a determination of eligibility for rental assistance. “Complete” shall include paid applications, where the landlord received payment and it is within 90 days of the payment for which the monthly rent is attributable. “Complete” shall include approved applications where PHDC has approved the application and the payment is pending.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that in any case where a Writ of Possession has been served prior to May 1, 2021, no Alias Writ of Possession shall be served unless and until a Writ of Possession is re-served upon the defendant.

It is further ORDERED and DECREED that if more than 90 days passes after receipt of such funds by the Landlord, then this prohibition shall lapse and the Alias Writ of Possession (i.e., lockout) may be served.

REPORT


The Juvenile Court Procedural Rules Committee is considering proposing to the Supreme Court new Pennsylvania Rules of Juvenile Court Procedure 160.1 and 1160.1 to provide for statewide judicial access to limited information contained in the Common Pleas Case Management System (CPCMS) related to dependency and delinquency proceedings.

CPCMS is a comprehensive statewide system that contains docketing information for dependency and delinquency court cases throughout Pennsylvania. Presently, only judges presiding over dependency or delinquency cases have access to information contained in CPCMS and that access is limited to cases in the county where the judges sit. Judges do not have access to case information in other counties. Further, judges presiding over custody cases, but not dependency or delinquency cases, do not have access to CPCMS information even for cases within their county. Cf., 23 Pa.C.S. § 5328 (factors to consider when awarding custody).

The Committee received a request to provide statewide judicial access to CPCMS to ascertain whether the parties or child may have open or closed delinquency and dependency cases in other counties. Preliminarily, the Committee considered the need for such access. In custody proceedings, the parties are required to disclose whether they have been involved with county agencies and certain delinquency adjudications. See Pa.R.Civ.P. 1915.3-2; 23 Pa.C.S. § 5329. Further, in delinquency and dependency matters, ostensibly the juvenile probation office and the county agency would be able to access statewide information at least within their respective fields.

Notwithstanding these alternative sources of information, CPCMS may provide more accurate information than self-reporting by the parties in custody matters. Further, CPCMS may provide that information more expeditiously than relying upon the juvenile probation office and the county agency in delinquency and dependency matters, respectively, especially when emergent matters arise. Additionally, access to statewide information would provide judges the opportunity to coordinate open cases in multiple counties. However, any access would be limited to judges presiding over custody, delinquency, or dependency matters.

Believing there to be merit in statewide judicial access to CPCMS, the Committee next considered the extent of information that should be made available upon query. Initially, the Committee recognized that any proposed rule providing access to CPCMS should not displace the operation of other rules governing access to juvenile court records. See, e.g., Pa.R.J.C.P. 160 & 1160. Instead, the operation of the proposed rules would permit judicial inquiry of CPCMS of participants in the current case and the return of limited information indicating any docket number, participants, presiding judge, and county in other open and closed cases. Based upon that information, the judge can decide whether to inquire further of the parties or to access those juvenile court records.

There are two additional aspects of these proposed rules. First, the rules would simply permit access to CPCMS to query for other cases involving the same participants. The rules do not require such a query. Second, the rules do not address the disclosure of the query results to the parties because the results in of themselves have no evidentiary value. The results merely indicate that a party was a participant in another case; they disclose nothing about the records or outcome of the other case. The access and disclosure of further case details are outside the scope of this proposal.

The Committee invites all comments, concerns, and suggestions.

Rule 160.1. Judicial Identification of Delinquency and Dependency Cases.

(a) Delinquency.

(1) A judge presiding over a delinquency proceeding shall have statewide access to the Common Pleas Case Management System for the purpose of identifying other delinquency cases or dependency cases involving a participant in the proceeding.

(2) The information available is limited to docket number, participants, presiding judge, and county.

(b) Custody.

(1) A judge presiding over a custody proceeding shall have statewide access to the Common Pleas Case Management System for the purpose of identifying delinquency cases involving a participant in the proceeding.


Comment

Developed by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, the Common Pleas Case Management System (CPCMS) is a comprehensive statewide system that contains docketing information for dependency and delinquency court cases throughout Pennsylvania. This rule is intended to provide judges in delinquency and custody proceedings with statewide access to CPCMS to identify current and closed cases involving the same participant in the proceeding before the court. After obtaining the CPCMS information, the judge may contact the clerk of records in the relevant judicial district to access the official court record if additional information is needed.

This rule is not intended to replace or impede judicial access to case records pursuant to Pa.R.J.C.P. 160. Nor is this rule intended as a substitute for disclosure by the participants or inquiry of the county agency.


(a) Dependency.

(1) A judge presiding over a dependency proceeding shall have statewide access to the Common Pleas Case Management System for the purpose of identifying delinquency cases or other dependency cases involving a participant in the proceeding.


(b) Custody.

(1) A judge presiding over a custody proceeding shall have statewide access to the Common Pleas Case Management System for the purpose of identifying dependency cases involving a participant in the proceeding.

REPORT


The Juvenile Court Procedural Rules Committee is considering proposing to the Supreme Court new Pennsylvania Rules of Juvenile Court Procedure 160.1 and 1160.1 to provide for statewide judicial access to limited information contained in the Common Pleas Case Management System (CPCMS) related to dependency and delinquency proceedings.

CPCMS is a comprehensive statewide system that contains docketing information for dependency and delinquency court cases throughout Pennsylvania. Presently, only judges presiding over dependency or delinquency cases have access to information contained in CPCMS and that access is limited to cases in the county where the judges sit. Judges do not have access to case information in other counties. Further, judges presiding over custody cases, but not dependency or delinquency cases, do not have access to CPCMS information even for cases within their county. Cf., 23 Pa.C.S. § 5328 (factors to consider when awarding custody).

The Committee received a request to provide statewide judicial access to CPCMS to ascertain whether the parties or child may have open or closed delinquency and dependency cases in other counties. Preliminarily, the Committee considered the need for such access. In custody proceedings, the parties are required to disclose whether they have been involved with county agencies and certain delinquency adjudications. See Pa.R.Civ.P. 1915.3-2; 23 Pa.C.S. § 5329. Further, in delinquency and dependency matters, ostensibly the juvenile probation office and the county agency would be able to access statewide information at least within their respective fields.

Notwithstanding these alternative sources of information, CPCMS may provide more accurate information than self-reporting by the parties in custody matters. Further, CPCMS may provide that information more expeditiously than relying upon the juvenile probation office and the county agency in delinquency and dependency matters, respectively, especially when emergent matters arise. Additionally, access to statewide information would provide judges the opportunity to coordinate open cases in multiple counties. However, any access would be limited to judges presiding over custody, delinquency, or dependency matters.

Believing there to be merit in statewide judicial access to CPCMS, the Committee next




considered the extent of information that should be made available upon query. Initially, the Committee recognized that any proposed rule providing access to CPCMS should not displace the operation of other rules governing access to juvenile court records. See, e.g., Pa.R.J.C.P. 160 & 1160.
