ORDER 
On March 24, 2023, the appellant, Peter Kostyshyn, filed a notice of appeal 
from certain actions taken by the Court of Common Pleas in connection with 
Kostyshyn’s three pending criminal cases.1  On March 28, 2023, the Senior Court 
Clerk issued, by certified mail, a notice directing Kostyshyn to show cause why his 
appeal should not be dismissed for this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to consider either 
an appeal directly from the Court of Common Pleas or a criminal interlocutory 
appeal.  The notice to show cause was sent to the address provided by Kostyshyn in 
his notice of appeal.  On April 14, 2023, the notice to show cause was resent by first 
 
1 The only order entered by the Court of Common Pleas (an order granting Kostyshyn’s counsel’s 
motion to withdraw) was entered after Kostyshyn filed his notice of appeal. 
2 
 
class mail.  A timely response to the notice to show cause was due on or before April 
27, 2023.  To date, Kostyshyn has not responded to the notice to show cause.  
Dismissal of the appeal is therefore deemed to be unopposed. 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court 
Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
