Public Notice

Appointment of New Magistrate Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania

The Judicial Conference of the United States has authorized the appointment of a full-time United States magistrate judge for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania at Allentown. The appointee may be required to preside at court sessions to be held at Philadelphia, Allentown, Reading, and Easton. The essential function of courts is to dispense justice. An important component of this function is the creation and maintenance of diversity in the court system. A community’s belief that a court dispenses justice is heightened when the court reflects the com-munity’s diversity.

The duties of the position are demanding and wide- ranging, and will include, among others: (1) conduct of most preliminary proceedings in criminal cases; (2) trial and disposition of misdemeanor cases; (3) conduct of various pretrial matters and evidentiary proceedings on delegation from a district judge; and (4) trial and disposition of civil cases upon consent of the litigants. The basic authority of a United States magistrate judge is specified in 28 U.S.C. § 636.

To be qualified for appointment an applicant must:

1. Be, and have been for at least five years, a member in good stand-ing of the bar of the highest court of a state, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Territory of Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, or the Virgin Islands of the United States, and have been engaged in the active practice of law for a period of at least five years;

2. Be competent to perform all the duties of the office; be of good moral character; be emotionally stable and mature; be committed to equal justice under the law; be in good health; be patient and courteous; and be capable of deliberation and decisiveness;

3. Be less than seventy years old; and

4. Not be related to a judge of the district court.

A merit selection panel composed of attorneys and other members of the community will review all applicants and recommend to the district judges in confidence the five persons it considers best qualified. The court will make the appointment following an FBI full-field investigation and an IRS tax check of the applicant selected by the court for appointment. The individual selected must comply with the financial disclosure requirements pursuant to the Ethics in Government Act of 1978, Pub. L. No. 95-521, 90 Stat. 1824 (1978) (codified at 5 U.S.C. app. 4 §§ 101-111) as implemented by the Judicial Conference of the United States. An affirmative effort will be made to give due consideration to all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, age (40 and

over), gender, religion, national origin, or disability. In 2020, the annual salary of the position is $199,088.00 which may change in 2021. The term of office is eight (8) years.

DISCIPLINARY RULES

DOCKET

ORDERPER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 25th day of November, 2020, upon the recommendation of the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania to adopt new Explanatory Comment [5] to Rule 1.5 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct (“Pa.R.P.C.”), as published for com-ment in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, 50 Pa.B. 4013 (August 8, 2020):

IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Article V, Section 10 of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, that the new Explanatory Comment [5] to Rule 1.5 of the Pa.R.P.C. is adopted, and that prior Explanatory Comments [5] and [6] are renumbered as [6] and [7], as set forth in the attached form.

This ORDER shall be processed in accordance with Pa.R.J.A. No. 103(b), and shall be effective immediately.

Material to be added is shown in bold and underlined.Material to be deleted is shown in bold and brackets.

RPC 1.5 Comment:***Successor Counsel in Contingency Fee Matters [5] Unlike the situation in [4], which addresses division of fee between lawyers from different firms who are simultaneously representing a client, there may arise a situation where a client enters a contingent fee agreement with one lawyer (“predecessor counsel”), terminates that lawyer’s services without cause, and enters a new contingent fee agreement

with a different lawyer (“successor counsel”). In such a situation, and pursuant to a lawyer’s duties as set forth in paragraphs (b) and (c), successor counsel must notify the client, in writing, that some portion of the fee may be due to or claimed by predecessor counsel for services performed prior to the termination, and should discuss with the client the effect of that claim on successor counsel’s proposed fee agreement. If successor counsel will be involved in negotiating fees with predecessor counsel on the client’s behalf, successor counsel should evaluate whether the circumstances give rise to a conflict of interest with the client and, if so, must obtain appropriate informed consent to the conflict as set forth in Rule 1.7. If a dispute arises regarding distribution of the recovery, successor counsel must hold the dis-puted portion of the funds in trust pending resolution, in accordance with Rule 1.15(f). See ABA Formal Opinion 487 (June 18, 2019) (relating to successive contingent fee agreements). While part II.A of Formal Opinion 487 would require the client’s written informed consent, Rule 1.7 does not require a writing. However, if informed consent is deemed necessary under the circumstances, written consent may benefit both the client and successor counsel for the reasons set forth in Explanatory Comment [20] to Rule 1.7.

Disputes over Fees

[[5]] [6] If a procedure has been established for resolution of fee disputes, such as an arbitration or mediation procedure established by the bar, the lawyer should conscientiously consider submitting to it. Law may prescribe a procedure for determining a lawyer’s fee, for example, in rep-resentation of an executor or administrator, a class or a person entitled to a reasonable fee as part of the measure of damages. The lawyer entitled to such a fee and a lawyer representing another party concerned with the fee should comply with the prescribed procedure.

[[6]] [7] It is Disciplinary Board policy that allegations of excessive fees charged are ini-tially referred to Fee Dispute Committees for resolution.

PUBLICATION REPORT

Rule Proposal 181

The Domestic Relations Procedural Rules Committee (Committee) is proposing an amendment to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915.11-2 - Appointment of Guardian Ad Litem. Specifically, the pro-posed amendment would permit a guardian ad litem (GAL) to testify or include in the GAL’s report a minor child’s statement even if the statement would be otherwise inadmissible hearsay.

The Committee received a request for rulemaking on the admissibility of a child’s state-ment to a GAL in a custody hearing or trial. The Rules of Civil Procedure provides for the appoint-ment of a GAL when the court finds that it is necessary in determining the child’s best interest. As set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915.11-2, a GAL is required to meet with a child of an appropriate age in order to ascertain the facts.

Often, the child makes statements to the GAL that could impact the court determining the child’s best interest. The child’s statements are generally considered hearsay under Pennsylvania Rule of Evidence 802 unless an exception would apply, but are often included in a GAL’s report or testimony. As a matter of course, a GAL prepares a report, which is filed and served on the parties and the court, and the GAL also testifies at a hearing or trial. Absent a hearsay exception that would permit the child’s statement into evidence, excluding the statement could significantly impact the court’s ability to determine the child’s best interest.

Generally, the Pennsylvania Rules of Evidence does not provide for the blanket admissibil-ity of a child’s hearsay statements made to a GAL, and unlike dependency actions under the Juvenile Act, 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 6301 et seq., in which a hearsay statement may be admissible in dispositional hear-ings, similar statements in a child custody action are inadmissible unless a hearsay exception applies. As reported to the Committee, the statement’s admissibility varies from court to court. Some courts will allow the statement into evidence since it does impact the child’s best interest; while other courts will disallow the statement as hearsay unless a hearsay exception applies.

To remedy the disparate treatment of the child’s statement, the Committee believes an exception to the hearsay rule is necessary to reflect the admissibility of the statement made to the child’s GAL as the statement often is probative of the child’s best interest. As the exception would be limited in its application to child custody cases, the Committee believes the child custody procedural rules should provide the exception rather than the Rules of Evidence. Including a hearsay exception in the procedural rules is permitted by the Rules of Evidence, see Pa.R.E. 802, and the Supreme Court has incorporated hearsay exceptions into other procedural rules. See Pa.R.C.P. Nos. 4020 and 4017(g); Pa.R.Crim.P. 574, 542(E), and 1003(E).

As such, the Committee is proposing an amendment to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1915.11-2 - Appointment of Guardian Ad Litem. The rule proposal rewrites the rule in its entirety; however, the majority of the changes are stylistic and format changes. The substantive change related to the admissibility of a child’s hearsay statement to a GAL is included in subdivision (b)(3). As result of the proposed change, the GAL’s report and testimony would be treated similarly to an expert witness’ report and testimony under Pa.R.E. 701 - 706.

All comments, concerns, and suggestions concerning this rule proposal are welcome.



Proposed amendment of Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.2

The Domestic Relations Procedural Rules Committee is planning to propose to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania the amendment of Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.2 — No Post-Trial Motions. Motions for Reconsideration — for the reasons set forth in the accompanying publication report. Pursuant to Pa.R.J.A. No 103(a)(1), the proposal is being published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin for comments, suggestions, or objections prior to submission to the Supreme Court.

Any reports, notes, or comments in the proposal have been inserted by the Committee for the convenience of those using the rules. They neither will constitute a part of the rules nor will be officially adopted by the Supreme Court.

PUBLICATION REPORT

Rule Proposal 182

The Domestic Relations Procedural Rules Committee (Committee) is proposing an amendment to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.2 as that rule relates to a motion for reconsideration. The pro-posed amendment would address the status of the underlying order pending the trial court’s recon-sideration. Currently, the Rules of Civil Procedure do not address the order’s status. Although the Committee is proposing the amendment, it believes the proposal is merely a codification of current practice.

The Committee received a rulemaking request suggesting that Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.2 should be amended to clarify the status of the underlying order that a party has requested reconsid-eration from the trial court. The rule as written provides guidance on requesting reconsideration but does not indicate whether the underlying order is effective pending the trial court’s reconsideration.

Unlike other civil actions, post-trial motions are precluded for domestic relations actions. See Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.2(a). A party seeking relief from a court’s order may appeal, request the trial court reconsider its order, or both. As noted in the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure, the trial court has the authority to reconsider its order even after an appeal is filed. See Pa.R.A.P. 1701(b). Generally, a domestic relations order appealed is effective unless the appellant requests a stay or supersedeas pending the appeal from the trial court as provided in Pa.R.A.P. 1731(b) and 1732. However, there is no similar provision in the Rules of Civil Procedure as it relates to recon-sideration. The Committee is proposing an amendment to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.2 that would provide similar treatment of an order pending reconsideration; in other words, the order is effective pending reconsideration unless the moving party requests the trial court stay or vacate the order.

Subdivisions (b) through (e) have been entirely rewritten into an outline format with the substantive change noted above included in subdivision (b)(1)(i). Otherwise, Pa.R.C.P. No. 1930.2 remains substantively unchanged. The 1994 Explanatory Comment is deleted as it essentially reiter-ates the rule text without further explanation.

All comments, concerns, and suggestions concerning this rule proposal are welcome.

PUBLICATION REPORT

Proposed Amendment of Pa.R.A.P. 1925(c)

The Appellate Court Procedural Rules Committee is considering proposing the amend-ment of Pa.R.A.P. 1925(c) governing remand to the trial court for service nunc pro tunc of the state-ment of the errors complained of on appeal (“Statement”). This amendment is intended to provide procedures for an appellant to remediate waiver due to either the failure to serve the Statement or the failure to timely serve the Statement.

At present, Pa.R.A.P. 1925(c) permits the remand for the filing of a Statement when the appellant has either failed to file a Statement or failed to timely file a Statement. An appellant may seek an order remanding for remediation in civil cases for good cause shown. A remand is available in criminal cases when the appellate court is convinced that counsel was per se ineffective and the trial court did not file an opinion.

Pa.R.A.P. 1925(c) is silent whether a remand is permissive when an appellant has either failed to serve a Statement or failed to timely serve a Statement. Case law indicates that defective service of a Statement results in a waiver of all appellate issues. See Commonwealth v. Eldred, 207 A.3d 404 (Pa. Super. 2019). It seemed inconsistent to allow a remand to address deficiencies in the filing of a Statement, but not deficiencies in service, when both may operate to deny appellate review by operation. Accordingly, the Committee proposes to extend the procedures for seeking a remand to include instances of defective service, providing all other requirements of Pa.R.A.P. 1925(c) are met.

All comments, concerns, and suggestions concerning this proposal are welcome.

Rule 1925. Opinion in Support of Order.

* * *

(c) Remand.

(1) An appellate court may remand in either a civil or criminal case for a determination as to whether a Statement had been filed and/or served or timely filed and/or served.

(2) Upon application of the appellant and for good cause shown, an appel-late court may remand in a civil case for the filing or service nunc pro tunc of a Statement

or for amendment or supplementation of a timely filed and served Statement and for a concurrent supplemental opinion. If an appellant has a statutory or rule-based right to counsel, good cause shown includes a failure by counsel to file or serve a Statement timely or at all.

(3) If an appellant represented by counsel in a criminal case was ordered to file and serve a Statement and either failed to do so, or filed or served an untimely Statement, such that the appellate court is convinced that counsel has been per se inef-fective, and the trial court did not file an opinion, the appellate court may remand for appointment of new counsel, the filing or service of a Statement nunc pro tunc, and the preparation and filing of an opinion by the judge.

(4) In a criminal case, counsel may file of record and serve on the judge a statement of intent to file an Anders/Santiago brief in lieu of filing a Statement. If, upon review of the Anders/Santiago brief, the appellate court believes that there are arguably meritorious issues for review, those issues will not be waived; instead, the appellate court may remand for the filing and service of a Statement, a supplemental opinion pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 1925(a), or both. Upon remand, the trial court may, but is not required to, replace appellant’s counsel.

* * *

Official Note:

* * *

Subparagraph (c)(1): This subparagraph applies to both civil and criminal cases and allows an appel-late court to seek additional information—whether by supplementation of the record or additional briefing—if it is not apparent whether an initial or supplemental Statement was filed and/or served or timely filed and/or served. Subparagraph (c)(2): This subparagraph allows an appellate court to remand a civil case to allow an initial, amended, or supplemental Statement and/or a supplemental opinion. See also 42 Pa.C.S. § 706. In 2019, the rule was amended to clarify that for those civil appellants who have a statutory or rule[s]-based right to counsel (such as appellants in post-conviction relief, juvenile, parental termina-tion, or civil commitment proceedings) good cause includes a failure of counsel to file a Statement or a timely Statement.

Subparagraph (c)(3): This subparagraph allows an appellate court to remand in criminal cases only when an appellant, who is represented by counsel, has completely failed to respond to an order to file and serve a Statement or has failed to do so timely. It is thus narrower than subparagraph (c)(2). See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Burton, 973 A.2d 428, 431 (Pa. Super. 2009); Commonwealth v. Halley, 870 A.2d 795, 801 (Pa. 2005); Commonwealth v. West, 883 A.2d 654, 657 (Pa. Super. 2005). Per se ineffectiveness applies in all circumstances in which an appeal is completely foreclosed by counsel’s actions, but not in circumstances in which the actions narrow or serve to foreclose the appeal in part. Commonwealth v. Rosado, 150 A.3d 425, 433-35 (Pa. 2016). Pro se appellants are excluded from this exception to the waiver doctrine as set forth in Commonwealth v. Lord, 719 A.2d 306 (Pa. 1998). Direct appeal rights have typically been restored through a post-conviction relief process, but when the ineffectiveness is apparent and per se, the court in West recognized that the more effective way to resolve such per se ineffectiveness is to remand for the filing of a Statement and opinion. See West, 883 A.2d at 657; see also Burton (late filing of Statement is per se ineffective assistance of counsel). The procedure set forth in West is codified in subparagraph (c)(3). As the West court recognized, this rationale does not apply when waiver occurs due to the improper filing of a Statement. In such circumstances, relief may occur only through the post-conviction relief process and only upon dem-onstration by the appellant that, but for the deficiency of counsel, it was reasonably probable that the appeal would have been successful. An appellant must be able to identify per se ineffectiveness to secure a remand under this section, and any appellant who is able to demonstrate per se ineffective-ness is entitled to a remand. Accordingly, this subparagraph does not raise the concerns addressed in Johnson v. Mississippi, 486 U.S. 578, 588-89 (1988) (observing that where a rule has not been consis-tently or regularly applied, it is not—under federal law—an adequate and independent state ground for affirming petitioner’s conviction.)

Subparagraph (c)(4): This subparagraph clarifies the special expectations and duties of a criminal lawyer. Even lawyers seeking to withdraw pursuant to the procedures set forth in Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967) and Commonwealth v. Santiago, 978 A.2d 349 (Pa. 2009) are obligated to comply with all rules. However, because a lawyer will not file an Anders/Santiago brief without concluding that there are no non-frivolous issues to raise on appeal, this amendment allows a lawyer to file, in lieu of a Statement, a representation that no errors are asserted because the lawyer is (or intends to be) seeking to withdraw under Anders/Santiago. At that point, the appellate court will reverse or remand for a supplemental Statement and/or opinion if it finds potentially non-frivolous issues during its consti-tutionally required review of the record.

(1) No writs of possession nor alias writs of possession previously issued by the Phila-delphia Municipal Court shall be served in any residential case (i.e., no residential evictions) until after December 31, 2020, except upon order of court upon good cause shown as provided in this order.

(2) In residential cases, Plaintiff Landlords who have obtained a judgement of possession may seek leave of court to be exempted from the moratorium imposed by Section (1) above by filing a petition, supported by exhibit(s) and sworn affidavits or declarations subject to the penalty of perjury, establishing good cause to serve a writ of possession or an alias writ of possession, pursuant to any of the following bases:

(a) Good faith belief based on first-hand knowledge that the tenant has already va-cated the unit/property.

(b) Breach of the lease terms, such as alleged criminal conduct or damage to the property, served as the basis for the Judgement of Possession. Habitual non-payment, late payment of rent or non-payment of utilities shall not be good cause under this order. Landlords must demonstrate a material breach in support of their petition.

(c) Other compelling basis not specifically enumerated above, which shall be strictly scrutinized to ensure that the negative effects of a residential eviction during the pandemic are mitigated to the satisfaction of the Court.

(3) Notwithstanding the relief available as provided in Section (2) above, Plaintiff Landlords are not entitled to request leave of court for permission to serve writs of possession or alias writs of possession if the eviction is otherwise prohibited by law, such as provided in the September 1, 2020 Order issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

(4) Calculation of the six-month period set forth in Rule 126(e) (“[a]n alias writ of posses-sion may not be issued after six months from the date of the judgment for possession without leave of court”) and the 180-day period for serving alias writs of possession (the practice of the Philadelphia Municipal Court is to serve the alias writ of pos-session within 180 days from the entry of a judgment for possession), shall exclude the time from March 16, 2020 through and including December 31, 2020 from the computation of those time periods.

(5) This Order supersedes conflicting provisions contained in any prior Administrative Order.
