Rule 105.8 - Praecipe to Reduce Sentence to Judgment

In all Court Cases and Summary Cases, once the Judge has imposed sentence, the Clerk of Courts shall reduce the sentence to judgment and enter that judgment upon the appropriate docket. A separate praecipe to reduce sentence to judgment shall not be required.

Chest. Cnty. Ct. Comm. Plea. R. 105.8

Amended effective 6/21/2021; amended effective 2/1/2024.

Note: Traditionally a praecipe to reduce sentence to judgment was filed so the Clerk of Courts would enter the judgment of sentence on the appropriate docket for appeal purposes. See Pa.R.A.P. 301(a) and 904(d). However, current practice is that the judgment of sentence is always entered on the appropriate docket without a request from a party. See Pa.R.Crim.P. 113 and 114.
