Termination of Inactive Citations Issued Before January 1, 2000; Administrative Order No. 01 of 2005

[35 Pa.B. 4186]

Order

   And Now, this 29th day of June, 2005, the Traffic Court having determined that approximately 116,036 citations issued between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 1999, have not resulted in a plea, payment, adjudication or judgment against the named Defendants; the Traffic Court having determined that there has been no activity on these citations for a period of two years or more, and that the citations are thus both legally and practically unenforceable; a Notice having been published in the Legal Intelligencer on May 10, 2005, informing interested parties that a full list of citations to be terminated was available for public inspection at the Philadelphia Traffic Court for thirty days, and further notifying interested parties that unless they petitioned the Court to show cause why any citation on the termination list should not be removed from that list, the citations would be terminated;

   Now, Therefore, there having been no objection to the termination of the citations, upon compliance with the Procedure for Terminating Inactive Traffic Court Citations pursuant to Pa.R.J.A. No. 1901, and as provided in Administrative Docket No. 1 of 2001,

   It Is Hereby Ordered, Adjudged and Decreed that all Traffic Court citations issued between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 1999, for which there has been no plea, adjudication or payment, and for which there has been a lack of activity for a period of two (2) years or more, shall be terminated effective immediately.

   This Administrative Order shall be filed with the Prothonotary in a docket maintained for Administrative Orders issued by the Administrative Judge of the Philadelphia Traffic Court, and copies shall be submitted to the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts, the Legislative Reference Bureau, the Criminal Procedural Rules Committee, and the Minor Court Rules Committee. Copies of the Order shall also be submitted to American Lawyer Media, The Legal Intelligencer, Jenkins Memorial Law Library and the Law Library for the First Judicial District of Pennsylvania.
