Chester Cnty. C.P. Court of Common Pleas Local Rules of Criminal Procedure 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.
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.
Rule 114(B)(2). Service of Orders and Court Notices.
The Clerk of Courts, the Court Administrator, or the Court, may serve orders and court
notices.
