RULE 458. DISMISSAL IN SUMMARY CASES UPON SATISFACTION OR
AGREEMENT.
(A) When a defendant is charged with a summary offense, the issuing authority may
dismiss the case upon a showing that:
(1) the public interest will not be adversely affected;
(2) the attorney for the Commonwealth, or in cases in which no attorney for the
Commonwealth is present at the summary proceeding, the affiant, consents to
the dismissal;
(3) satisfaction has been made to the aggrieved person or there is an agreement
that satisfaction will be made to the aggrieved person; and
(4) there is an agreement as to who shall pay the costs.
(B) When an issuing authority dismisses a case pursuant to paragraph (A), the issuing
authority shall record the dismissal on the transcript.
COMMENT: This rule permits an issuing authority to
dismiss a summary case when the provisions of paragraph
(A) are satisfied.
Paragraphs (A)(1) through (4) set forth those criteria that a
defendant must satisfy before the issuing authority has the
discretion to dismiss the case under this rule.
The requirement in paragraph (A)(2) that, when the attorney
for the Commonwealth is present at the summary
proceeding, he or she must consent to the dismissal, is one
of the criteria, along with the other enumerated criteria,
which gives the issuing authority discretion to dismiss a case
under this rule, even when the affiant refuses to consent.
The requirement in paragraph (B) that the issuing authority
include in the transcript of the case the fact that he or she
dismissed the case is intended to ensure that an adequate
record is made of any dismissals under this rule.
For dismissal upon satisfaction or by agreement in
summary cases, as defined in Rule 103, that have
been appealed to the court of common pleas, see Rule
463.
For dismissal upon satisfaction or agreement in a court case
charging a misdemeanor that is pending before an issuing
authority, see Rule 546.
For dismissal upon satisfaction or agreement by a judge of
the court of common pleas in court cases, see Rule 586.

RULE 460. NOTICE OF APPEAL.
(A) When an appeal is authorized by law in a summary proceeding, including an appeal
following a prosecution for violation of a municipal ordinance that provides for
imprisonment upon conviction or upon failure to pay a fine, an appeal shall be perfected
by filing a notice of appeal within 30 days after the entry of the guilty plea, the
conviction, or other final order from which the appeal is taken. The notice of appeal
shall be filed with the clerk of courts.
(B) The notice of appeal shall contain the following information:
(1) the name and address of the appellant;
(2) the name and address of the issuing authority who accepted the guilty plea
or heard the case;
(3) the magisterial district number in which the case was heard;
(4) the name and mailing address of the affiant as shown on the complaint or
citation;
(5) the date of the entry of the guilty plea, the conviction, or other final order from
which the appeal is taken;
(6) the offense(s) of which convicted or to which a guilty plea was entered, if
any;
(7) the sentence imposed, and if the sentence includes a fine, costs, or
restitution, whether the amount due has been paid;
(8) the type or amount of bail or collateral, if any, furnished to the issuing
authority;
(9) the name and address of the attorney, if any, filing the notice of appeal; and
(10) except when the appeal is from a guilty plea or a conviction, the grounds
relied upon for appeal.
(C) Within 5 days after filing the notice of appeal, a copy shall be served either
personally or by mail by the clerk of courts upon the issuing authority, the affiant, and
the appellee or appellee's attorney, if any.
3
(D) The issuing authority shall, within 20 days after receipt of the notice of appeal, file
with the clerk of courts:
(1) the transcript of the proceedings;
(2) the original complaint or citation, if any;
(3) the summons or warrant of arrest, if any; and
(4) the bail bond, if any.
(E) This rule shall provide the exclusive means of appealing from a summary guilty plea
or conviction. Courts of common pleas shall not issue writs of certiorari in such cases.
(F) This rule shall not apply to appeals from contempt adjudications.
COMMENT: This rule is derived from former Rule 86(A),
(D), (E), (F), (H), and (I).
This rule applies to appeals in all summary proceedings,
including appeals from prosecutions for violations of
municipal ordinances that provide for the possibility of
imprisonment, and default hearings.
This rule was amended in 2000 to make it clear in a
summary criminal case that the defendant may file an appeal
for a trial de novo following the entry of a guilty plea.
Appeals from contempt adjudications are governed by Rule
141.
The narrow holding in City of Easton v. Marra, 326 A.2d 637
(Pa. Super. 1974), is not in conflict, since the record before
the court did not indicate that imprisonment was possible
under the ordinance there in question.
See Rule 461 for the procedures for executing a sentence of
imprisonment when there is a stay.
"Entry," as used in this rule, means the date on which the
issuing authority enters or records the guilty plea, the
4
conviction, or other order in the magisterial district judge
computer system.
When the only issues on appeal arise solely from an issuing
authority's determination after a default hearing pursuant to
Rule 456, the matter must be heard de novo by the
appropriate judge of the court of common pleas and only
those issues arising from the default hearing are to be
considered. It is not intended to reopen other issues not
properly preserved for appeal. A determination after a
default hearing would be a final order for purposes of these
rules.
Paragraph (D) was amended in 2003 to align this rule with
Rule 401(A), which permits the electronic transmission of
parking violation information in lieu of filing a citation.
Therefore, in electronically transmitted parking violation
cases only, because there is no original citation, the issuing
authority would file the summons with the clerk of courts
pursuant to paragraph (D)(3).
Rule 462(D) provides for the dismissal of an appeal when
the defendant fails to appear for the trial de novo.
See Rule 462(F) regarding the retention of a case at the
court of common pleas when a petition to file an appeal nunc
pro tunc has been denied.
Certiorari was abolished by the Criminal Rules in 1973
pursuant to Article V Schedule Section 26 of the Constitution
of Pennsylvania, which specifically empowers the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania to do so by rule. This Schedule
section is still viable, and the substance of this Schedule
section has also been included in the Judicial Code, 42
Pa.C.S. § 934. The abolition of certiorari continues with this
rule.
For dismissal upon satisfaction or by agreement in
summary cases, as defined in Rule 103, that have
been appealed to the court of common pleas, see Rule
463.

RULE 462. TRIAL DE NOVO.
(A) When a defendant appeals after the entry of a guilty plea or a conviction by an
issuing authority in any summary proceeding, upon the filing of the transcript and other
papers by the issuing authority, the case shall be heard de novo by the judge of the
court of common pleas sitting without a jury.
(B) The attorney for the Commonwealth may appear and assume charge of the
prosecution. When the violation of an ordinance of a municipality is charged, an
attorney representing that municipality, with the consent of the attorney for the
Commonwealth, may appear and assume charge of the prosecution. When no attorney
appears on behalf of the Commonwealth, the affiant may be permitted to ask questions
of any witness who testifies.
(C) In appeals from summary proceedings arising under the Vehicle Code or local
traffic ordinances, other than parking offenses, the law enforcement officer who
observed the alleged offense must appear and testify. The failure of a law enforcement
officer to appear and testify shall result in the dismissal of the charges unless:
(1) the defendant waives the presence of the law enforcement officer in open
court on the record;
(2) the defendant waives the presence of the law enforcement officer by filing a
written waiver signed by the defendant and defense counsel, or the defendant if
proceeding pro se, with the clerk of courts; or
(3) the trial judge determines that good cause exists for the law enforcement
officer's unavailability and grants a continuance.
(D) If the defendant fails to appear, the trial judge may dismiss the appeal and enter
judgment in the court of common pleas on the judgment of the issuing authority.
(E) If the defendant withdraws the appeal, the trial judge shall enter judgment in the
court of common pleas on the judgment of the issuing authority.
(F) If the defendant has petitioned the trial judge to permit the taking of an appeal nunc
pro tunc and this petition is denied, the trial judge shall enter judgment in the court of
common pleas on the judgment of the issuing authority.
(G) The verdict and sentence, if any, shall be announced in open court immediately
upon the conclusion of the trial, or, in cases in which the defendant may be sentenced
to intermediate punishment, the trial judge may delay the proceedings pending
confirmation of the defendant’s eligibility for intermediate punishment.
8
(H) At the time of sentencing, the trial judge shall:
(1) if the defendant's sentence includes restitution, a fine, or costs, state:
(a) the amount of the fine and the obligation to pay costs;
(b) the amount of restitution ordered, including
(i) the identity of the payee(s),
(ii) to whom the restitution payment shall be made,
and
(iii) whether any restitution has been paid and in what
amount; and
(c) the date on which payment is due.
If the defendant is without the financial means to pay the amount in a single
remittance, the trial judge may provide for installment payments and shall state
the date on which each installment is due;
(2) advise the defendant of the right to appeal to the Superior Court within 30
days of the imposition of sentence, and that, if an appeal is filed, the execution of
sentence will be stayed and the trial judge may set bail;
(3) if a sentence of imprisonment has been imposed, direct the defendant to
appear for the execution of sentence on a date certain unless the defendant files
a notice of appeal within the 30-day period; and
(4) issue a written order imposing sentence, signed by the trial judge. The order
shall include the information specified in paragraphs (H)(1) through (H)(3), and a
copy of the order shall be given to the defendant.
(I) After sentence is imposed by the trial judge, the case shall remain in the court of
common pleas for the execution of sentence, including the collection of any fine and
restitution, and for the collection of any costs.
COMMENT: This rule is derived from former Rule 86(G) and
former Rule 1117(c).
9
This rule was amended in 2000 to make it clear in a
summary criminal case that the defendant may file an appeal
for a trial de novo following the entry of a guilty plea.
“Entry,” as used in paragraph (A) of this rule, means the date
on which the issuing authority enters or records the guilty
plea, the conviction, or other order in the magisterial district
judge computer system.
The procedures for conducting the trial de novo in the court
of common pleas set forth in paragraphs (B), (G), and (H)
are comparable to the summary case trial procedures in
Rule 454 (Trial in Summary Cases).
Pursuant to paragraph (B), the decision whether to appear
and assume control of the prosecution of the trial de novo is
solely within the discretion of the attorney for the
Commonwealth. When no attorney appears at the trial de
novo on behalf of the Commonwealth or a municipality, the
trial judge may ask questions of any witness who testifies,
and the affiant may request the trial judge to ask specific
questions. In the appropriate circumstances, the trial judge
also may permit the affiant to question Commonwealth
witnesses, cross-examine defense witnesses, and make
recommendations about the case to the trial judge.
The provisions of paragraph (C) that permit the court to
continue the case if there is good cause for the officer's
unavailability were added in response to Commonwealth v.
Hightower, 652 A.2d 873 (Pa. Super. 1995).
Paragraph (D) makes it clear that the trial judge may dismiss
a summary case appeal when the judge determines that the
defendant is absent without cause from the trial de novo. If
the appeal is dismissed, the trial judge should enter
judgment and order execution of any sentence imposed by
the issuing authority.
New paragraph (F) was added in 2017 to clarify that in a
case in which a defendant seeks to file an appeal nunc pro
tunc, and the common pleas judge denies that petition, the
case will remain at the court of common pleas. This is
consistent with the long-standing policy under the rules that
10
once a case has moved from the minor judiciary to the court
of common pleas, the case remains at common pleas.
Paragraph (G) was amended in 2008 to permit a trial judge
to delay imposition of sentence in order to investigate a
defendant’s eligibility for intermediate punishment for certain
offenses, including summary violations of 75 Pa.C.S.
§1543(b) (driving while license is under a DUI-related
suspension), but only if he or she meets certain eligibility
requirements, such as undergoing a drug and alcohol
assessment. Potentially this information may not be
available to the trial judge following a trial de novo at the
time of sentencing.
Pursuant to paragraph (H), if the defendant is convicted, the
trial judge must impose sentence, and advise the defendant
of the payment schedule, if any, and the defendant’s appeal
rights. See Rule 704(A)(3) and Rule 720(D). No defendant
may be sentenced to imprisonment or probation if the right to
counsel was not afforded at trial. See Alabama v. Shelton,
535 U.S. 654 (2002), Scott v. Illinois, 440 U.S. 367 (1979),
and Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 U.S. 25 (1972).
Certain costs are mandatory and must be imposed. See,
e.g., Section 1101 of the Crime Victims Act, 18 P.S. §
11.1101.
Once sentence is imposed, paragraph (I) makes it clear that
the case is to remain in the court of common pleas for
execution of the sentence and collection of any costs, and
the case may not be returned to the magisterial district
judge. The execution of sentence includes the collection of
any fines and restitution.
For the procedure to dismiss upon satisfaction or by
agreement a summary case, as defined in Rule 103,
that has been appealed to the court of common pleas,
see Rule 463.
For the procedures concerning sentences that include
restitution in court cases, see Rule 705.1.

For the procedures for appeals from the Philadelphia
Municipal Court Traffic Division, see Rule 1037.

(This is an entirely new rule.)
RULE 463. DISMISSAL OF SUMMARY CASES UPON SATISFACTION OR BY
AGREEMENT IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.
When a defendant is charged in a summary case, as defined in Rule 103, that is before
the court of common pleas, the judge of the court of common pleas may dismiss the
case upon a showing that:
(A) the public interest will not be adversely affected;
(B) the attorney for the Commonwealth, or in cases in which no attorney for the
Commonwealth is present at the summary proceeding, the affiant, consents to
the dismissal;
(C) satisfaction has been made to the aggrieved person or there is an
agreement that satisfaction will be made to the aggrieved person; and
(D) there is an agreement as to who shall pay the costs.
COMMENT: This rule permits a judge of the court of
common pleas to dismiss a summary case when the
provisions of paragraph (A) through (D) are satisfied. This
includes the situation when the summary case is before the
court of common pleas pursuant to a summary appeal filed
pursuant to Rule 462.
The requirement in paragraph (B) that, when the attorney for
the Commonwealth is present at the summary proceeding,
he or she must consent to the dismissal, is one of the
criteria, along with the other enumerated criteria, which gives
the judge discretion to dismiss a case under this rule, even
when the affiant refuses to consent.
For dismissal upon satisfaction or agreement in a court
case charging a misdemeanor that is pending before an
issuing authority, see Rule 546.
For dismissal upon satisfaction or agreement by a judge of

Final Report explaining the adoption of new Rule 463 regarding
dismissal by agreement of summary cases in the common pleas
court published with the Court’s Order at 51 Pa.B. ( ,
2021).
16
RULE 546. DISMISSAL UPON SATISFACTION OR AGREEMENT.
When a defendant is charged in a case in which the most serious offense charged is a
misdemeanor[(s)], the issuing authority may dismiss the case upon a showing that:
(1) the public interest will not be adversely affected;
(2) the attorney for the Commonwealth, or in cases in which there is no attorney
for the Commonwealth present, the affiant, consents to the dismissal;
(3) satisfaction has been made to the aggrieved person or there is an agreement
that satisfaction will be made to the aggrieved person; and
(4) there is an agreement as to who shall pay the costs.
COMMENT: Paragraphs (1) through (4) set forth those
criteria that a defendant must satisfy before the issuing
authority has the discretion to dismiss the case under this
rule.
The requirement in paragraph (2) that, when the attorney
for the Commonwealth is present, he or she must consent
to the dismissal, is one of the criteria that, along with the
other enumerated criteria, gives the issuing authority
discretion to dismiss, even when the affiant refuses to
consent.
A dismissal of the case pursuant to this rule is a dismissal
of all the charges, including any summary offenses that
have been joined with the misdemeanor(s) and are part of
the case. See the Comment to Rule 502 (Instituting
Proceedings In Court Cases) (when a misdemeanor,
felony, or murder is charged with a summary offense in
the same complaint, the case should proceed as a court
case under Chapter 5 Part B). See also Rule 551
(Withdrawal of Charges Pending Before Issuing Authority)
that permits the attorney for the Commonwealth to
withdraw one or more of the charges.
For dismissal upon satisfaction or agreement in summary
cases in the magisterial district courts see Rule 458.

For the dismissal upon satisfaction or by agreement
in summary cases, as defined in Rule 103, that have
