Unless the praecipe refers specifically to Rule 208.3(b) or 208.3(b)(5) (as the circumstance dictates), the application will not be docketed and treated as a matter for disposition under Rule 208.3(b) or 208.3(b)(5). Further, attaching a Rule 208.3(b) praecipe to an application when one is not required or appropriate will delay processing of the attached motion in the Prothonotary's office.
