NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37
STANLEY J. CATERBONE IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF
PENNSYLVANIA
Appellant
v.
LANCASTER CITY BUREAU OF POLICE
Appellee No. 1219 MDA 2016
Appeal from the Order Entered July 8, 2016
In the Court of Common Pleas of Lancaster County
Civil Division at No(s): Cl-16-05815
BEFORE: MOULTON, J., SOLANO, J., and MUSMANNO, J.
JUDGMENT ORDER BY MOULTON, J.: FILED MAY 25, 2017
Stanley J. Caterbone appeals, pro se, from the July 8, 2016 order
entered in the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas denying his petition
for a preliminary injunction.1 We dismiss the appeal.
Caterbone’s filings with this Court do not comply with the
requirements of the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure. His notice of
appeal does not identify the order from which he is appealing, see Pa.R.A.P.
904(a);2 Caterbone did not file a proof of service showing that he served the
notice of appeal upon all parties, see Pa.R.A.P. 906(a)(1); and his appellate
____________________________________________

In its July 8, 2016 order, the trial court stated that it denied
Caterbone’s motion “for [his] failure to comply with the Pennsylvania Rules
of Civil Procedure.”

Although not identified in the notice of appeal, the July 8, 2016 order
is appended to his notice of appeal.

“brief” is not in the form required by the Rules, see Pa.R.A.P. 2111-2119.
In addition to these multiple procedural deficiencies, we are also utterly
unable to discern from Caterbone’s lengthy, disjointed filing what issues he
wishes to raise on appeal or what relief he is seeking. See Pa.R.A.P. 2101
(stating that appeal may be dismissed where defects in appellant’s brief are
substantial).3
Appeal dismissed.
Judgment Entered.

Moreover, on October 27, 2016, the trial court ordered Caterbone to
file a Rule 1925(b) statement of errors complained of on appeal by
November 16, 2016. Caterbone did not comply. Therefore, on November
22, 2016, the trial court entered an order finding all issues waived for
Caterbone’s failure to file a Rule 1925(b) statement. See Pa.R.A.P.
1925(b)(4)(vii) (stating that any issues not raised in court-ordered Rule
1925(b) statement are waived).
