Official Note
The Pennsylvania Code of Military Justice (‘‘Code’’), 51 Pa.C.S. § 5100 et seq., provides for a right of appeal to the Superior Court from certain final judgments of courts-martial and specific interlocutory orders or rulings. This right of appeal under the Code is applicable only to proceedings involving ‘‘state military forces’’ or members of the Pennsylvania National Guard not in a status subjecting them to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States.
