AND NOW, this 22nd day of October, 2020, upon the recommendation of the Appellate Court Procedural Rules Committee; the proposal having been published for public comment at 49 Pa.B. 2712 (June 1, 2019):
It is Ordered pursuant to Article V, Section 10 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania that Rule 904 and 907 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. No. 103(b), and shall be effec-tive January 1, 2021.
Additions to the rule are shown in bold and are underlined.Deletions from the rule are shown in bold and brackets.
Rule 904. Content of the Notice of Appeal.

26 • THE LEGAL INTELLIGENCER MOND A Y, O C T O B E R 2 6 , 2 0 2 0 VOL P.
Official Note:
The Offense Tracking Number (OTN) is required only in an appeal in a criminal proceeding. It enables the Administrative Office of the Pennsylvania Courts to collect and forward to the Pennsylvania State Police information pertaining to the disposition of all criminal cases as provided by the Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. §§ 9101[,] et seq.
The notice of appeal must include a statement that the order appealed from has been entered on the docket. The appellant does not need to certify that the order has been reduced to judgment. This omission does not eliminate the requirement of reducing an order to judgment before there is a final appealable order where required by applicable practice or case law.
Paragraph (b)(2) provides the authority for an appellate court to initialize captions in custody appeals. See also Pa.R.C.P. 1915.10. With respect to paragraph (e), in Commonwealth v. Dugger, 486 A.2d 382, 386 (Pa. 1985), the Supreme Court held that the Commonwealth’s certification that an order will terminate or sub-stantially handicap the prosecution is not subject to review as a prerequisite to the Superior Court’s review of the merits of the appeal. The principle in Dugger has been incorporated in and superseded by Pa.R.A.P. 311(d). Commonwealth v. Dixon, 907 A.2d 468, 471 n.8 (Pa. 2006). Thus, the need for a detailed analysis of the effect of the order, formerly necessarily a part of the Commonwealth’s appel-late brief, has been eliminated.
A party filing a cross-appeal should identify it as a cross-appeal in the notice of appeal to assure that the prothonotary will process the cross-appeal with the initial appeal. See also Pa.R.A.P. 2113, 2136, and 2185 regarding briefs in cross-appeals and Pa.R.A.P. 2322 regarding oral argument in multiple appeals.
Rule 907. Docketing of Appeal.
(a) Docketing of appeal.—Upon the receipt of the papers specified in Pa.R.A.P. 905(b) (transmission to appellate court), the prothonotary of the appellate court shall immediately enter the appeal upon the docket, note the appellate docket number upon the notice of appeal, and give writ-ten notice of the docket number assignment in person or by first class mail to the clerk of the trial court, to the appellant, and to the persons named in the proof of service accompanying the notice of appeal. [An appeal shall be docketed under the caption given to the matter in the trial court, with the appellant identified as such, but if such caption does not contain the name of the appellant, appellant’s name, identified as appellant, shall be added to the caption in the appellate court.] Unless an appellate court exercises its discretion, upon application of a party and for cause shown, to use the initials of the parties in an appeal of a custody action, the prothonotary of the appellate court shall docket an appeal under the caption given to the matter in the trial court. The appellant shall be identified in the caption. If the appellant is not identified in the caption of the trial court, the appellant’s name shall be added to the caption in the appellate court.
(b) Entry of appearance.—Upon the docketing of the appeal the prothonotary of the appellate court shall note on the record: as counsel for the appellant, the name of counsel, if any, set forth in or endorsed upon the notice of appeal[,]; counsel of record[,]; and any counsel named in the proof of service. The prothonotary of the appellate court shall upon praecipe of counsel filed within 30 days after the docketing of the notice of appeal correct the record of appearances. Also within 30 days after the docketing of the notice of appeal, counsel for a party may strike off his or her appearance by praecipe, unless that party is entitled by law to be represented by counsel on appeal. Thereafter, and at any time if a party is entitled by law to be represented by counsel on appeal, a counsel’s appearance for a party may not be withdrawn without leave of court, unless another lawyer has entered or simultaneously enters an appearance for the party.
Official Note:
Paragraph (a).—The transmission of a photocopy of the notice of appeal, showing a stamped nota-tion of filing and the appellate docket number assignment, without a letter of transmittal or other formalities, will constitute full compliance with the notice requirement of paragraph (a) of this rule.
A party may be entitled to the representation by counsel on appeal by constitution, statute, rule, and case law. For example, the Rules of Criminal Procedure require counsel appointed by the trial court to continue representation through direct appeal. Pa.R.Crim.P. 120(A)(4) and Pa.R.Crim.P. 122(B)(2). Similarly, the Rules of Criminal Procedure require counsel appointed in post-conviction proceedings to continue representation throughout the proceedings, including any appeal from the disposition of the petition for post-conviction collateral relief. Pa.R.Crim.P. 904(F)(2) and Pa.R.Crim.P. 904(H)(2)(b). The same is true when counsel enters an appearance on behalf of a juvenile in a delinquency matter or on behalf of a child or other party in a dependency matter. Pa.R.J.C.P. 150(B), 151, Pa.R.J.C.P. 1150(B), 1151(B), (E). It would be rare for counsel in such cases to consider withdrawing by praecipe, but the 2020 amendment to the rule avoids any possibility of confusion by clarifying that withdrawal by praecipe is available only in matters that do not otherwise require court permission to withdraw.
If a party is entitled to representation on appeal, the appellate court will presume that counsel who represented the party in the trial court will also represent the party on appeal, and counsel will be entered on the appellate court docket. In order to withdraw in such cases, either (1) new counsel must enter an appearance in the appellate court prior to or at the time of withdrawal; (2) counsel must provide the appellate court with an order of the trial court authorizing withdrawal; or (3) counsel must petition the appellate court to withdraw as counsel. Counsel for parties entitled to representation on appeal are cautioned that if any critical filing in the appellate process is omitted because of an omission by counsel, and if the party ordinarily would lose appeal rights because of that omission, counsel may be subject to discipline.
When an appeal is filed in a custody action, upon application of a party and for cause shown the appellate court may make a determination that using the parties’ initials in the caption is appropriate after considering the sensitive nature of the facts included in the case record and the child’s best interest. See Pa.R.A.P. 904(b)(2).
Paragraph (b).—With respect to appearances by new counsel following the initial docketing appear-ances [pursuant to paragraph (b) of this rule], please note the requirements of Pa.R.A.P. 120.

(i) avoid using specific identifiers for people, places, or things that may indirectly reveal the child’s identity; and
(ii) use generalized identifiers when describing a child’s school, activities, affiliated organizations, or other simi-lar terms.
* * *
Comment — 2021
Subdivision (b)(3) allows the court discretion to initialize a custody action’s case caption when the child’s privacy may be compromised by the sensitive nature of the facts in the case record. When the court determines that the case caption should be initialized, additional privacy safeguards are required under subdivision (b)(4).
Subdivision (b)(4) recognizes that inadvertent disclosure of the child’s identity and privacy may occur if the written custody order or opinion provides specific details of the child’s life (i.e., school, extracurricular activities). Subdivision (b)(4) requires that the court refrain from using specific identifiers; instead, the court should use general terms (i.e., high school, not John F. Kennedy High School). In circumstances in which name specificity is required, such as school choice, the court should consider a separate order for that issue.
Rule 1930.1. Form of Caption. Confidential Information and Confidential Documents. Certification
(a) Form of Caption.
(1) Except as set forth in subdivision (2), the caption in a domestic relations matter shall include the parties’ full names. The form of the caption [in all domestic relations matters] shall be substantially in the following form:
In the Court of Common Pleas of _______ County, Pennsylvania
[A. Litigant]Party A’s full name, ) ) Plaintiff )vs. ) No. (Docket number) )[B. Litigant]Party B’s full name, ) ) Defendant )
(Title of Pleading)
[Note: As domestic relations matters are no longer quasi-criminal, the phrase ‘‘Commonwealth ex rel.’’ shall not be used in the caption of any domestic relations matter.]
(2) In a custody action, the court may order that the case caption contain the parties’ initials rather than the parties’ names based on the sensitive nature of the facts in the case record and the child’s best interest.
Note: See Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915.10(b)(3).
* * *
Comment — 2021
Subdivision (a)(1) requires that the parties’ full names are used in a domestic rela-tions case caption unless the court determines it necessary to protect the child’s identity by initializing the case caption in a custody action based on sensitive facts in the case and the child’s best interest. Generally, a child custody case does not include sensitive information or egregious facts that would cause embarrassment to a child and necessitate exceptional privacy measures; however, in the unusual circumstance that a custody action has egregious facts that may cause an issue for the child, the trial court would have the discretion to initial-ize the caption in order to maintain the child’s privacy interests.
Subdivision (a)(2) provides the exception to the general rule in subdivision (a)(1) for a custody action in which the court deems that the child could be adversely affected by the sensitive nature of the facts in the record. In a custody case in which the trial court determines the child’s best interest requires an initialized caption, Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915-10(b)(4) requires that additional privacy safeguards are in the written custody order or opinion entered by the court.
The rule’s requirement that a case caption use the parties’ full names does not alter a par-ty’s or an attorney’s responsibilities under the Case Records Public Access Policy of the Unified Judicial System of Pennsylvania and subdivision (b).

ORDER
AND NOW, this 9th day of September, 2020, pursuant to Pa.R.J.A. No. 1952(B)(2) and in light of the September 1, 2020 Order of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is hereby ORDERED AND DECREED THAT:
(1) The Philadelphia Municipal Court’s Landlord-Tenant Officer is directed to not serve any alias writs of possession in residential cases until September 23, 2020. An alias writ of possession is served at the time of the eviction/lockout.
(2) The Philadelphia Municipal Court’s Landlord-Tenant Officer is permitted to serve sixty writs of possession in residential cases between September 8 and 12, 2020, and ninety writs of possession in residential cases between September 14 and 19, 2020.

Along with a writ of possession, the Landlord-Tenant Officer, shall serve a notice describing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s September 1, 2020 Order and a blank Declaration.

As required by Pa.R.J.A. 103(d), the local rule which follows this Order was submitted to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Criminal Procedural Rules Committee for review, and written notification has been received from the Rules Committee certifying that the local rule is not inconsistent with any general rule of the Supreme Court.

HONORABLE IDEE C. FOX President Judge, Court of Common Pleas Philadelphia County
Philadelphia Criminal Rule *700
Rule *700
(A) The judge who presided at the trial or who received the plea of guilty or nolo contendere shall impose sentence unless there are extraordinary circumstances which preclude the judge’s presence. In such event, another judge shall be assigned to impose sentence.
(B) The supervision of a defendant serving a sentence may be transferred to a judge other than the original sentencing judge in any of the following situations:
(1) The original sentencing judge has been transferred out of the Criminal Division and consents in writing to the transfer of the supervision;
(2) The case has been accepted into a First Judicial District reentry program and, after a hearing or in writing, the defendant and the original sentencing judge con-sent to supervision being transferred to a judge presiding over the reentry program;
(3) The defendant is facing a new sentencing in front of a different judge on a sepa-rate case and, after a hearing or in writing, the defendant and the original sentencing judge consent to supervision being transferred to the other judge; or
(4) There exist extraordinary circumstances, including death, incapacitation or retirement, which preclude the presence of the original sentencing judge.
Comment:Local Rule 700(A) tracks Pa.R.Crim.P. 700(A).Pa.R.Crim.P. 700 also governs sentencings that result from a violation of probation or parole. See Comm. v. McNeal, 120 A.3d 313 (Pa. Super. 2015). Accordingly, Local Rule 700(B) flows from Pa.R.Crim.P. 700(B), which invites promulgation of local rules to

expand the circumstances under which transfers from one judge to another may be made. Local Rule 700(B) reflects the recognition that transfers are appropriate under a variety of circumstances, including where a defendant has the opportunity to enter one of the First Judicial District’s reentry programs or in order to consolidate a violation hearing in front of the “back judge” with the sentencing for a new case in front of a different judge.
