Should the defendant wish to file an appeal more than 30 days after the District Justice's ruling, it will be necessary for the defendant to file a Petition Nunc Pro Tunc. This is a request made to the Judge allowing the defendant to file for an appeal even though the deadline has passed. An attorney can assist the defendant in filing the Petition Nunc Pro Tunc. Information is also available in any law library. A non-refundable fee of $48.00 is charged by the Clerk of Court for the filing of any summary appeal or petition for nunc pro tunc. This fee is in addition to any costs and fines which may be or may have been charged. Print out form and complete.
