Chester Cnty. C.P. Court of Common Pleas Local Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 105.3(a)
Transport of Prisoners; Out of County
In any criminal proceeding in which a court appearance by a prisoner housed in a facility
out of Chester County will be required, the party, designated by C.C.R.Crim.P. 105.3(c), shall
submit to the Court a transport order containing the location of the prisoner and when the prisoner
will be needed for court. Once the Court signs the transport order, it shall be filed with the Clerk
of Courts and copies provide to the Court Administrator and the Sheriff. The Sheriff shall arrange
appropriate transportation of the prisoner. Absent genuine exigency or most unusual
circumstances, a request for transport of a prisoner shall be made not less than three (3) days before
the scheduled court appearance.
Note: The Court Administrator can issue a per curiam transport order if the prisoner is housed in
a county facility. However, if the prisoner is housed in a state facility, the transport order requires
a judicial signature.
