If your Nunc Pro Tunc Petition is being filed to request permission to appeal a Magisterial District Judge (MDJ) decision:

• The Nunc Pro Tunc Petition must be e‑filed through the Pennsylvania Judiciary Web Portal (PACFile).

Please note that the Clerk of Courts Office does not provide Nunc Pro Tunc Petition forms.

You have 30 days from the date you were found guilty at the Magisterial District Judge to appeal your citation. Complete the Notice of Appeal from Summary Criminal Conviction and send the completed form along with a check or money order to the Clerk of Courts Office. You may contact the Magisterial District Judge for any information required on the form.

Please refer to the Rules of Criminal Procedure, the Adams County Local Criminal Rules and statutory authority for contents of order for expungement.

You will need to file an original and two copies of the Application to Waive Fees and Cost. If the application is denied, the petitioner will be responsible for paying the filing fee within 30 days of denial.  The party may not proceed in the action, so long as the fee remains unpaid, except that the party may appeal the denial or obtain permission from the court to proceed.  If the fee is not paid, the legal action will be terminated.
