O R D E R  
 
 
This 22nd day of March 2007, it appears to the Court that: 
 
(1) 
On March 8, 2007, the defendants-appellants, Peter and Patricia 
Kostyshyn, filed an appeal from “any and all orders dated 2/8/07” issued by 
the Court of Common Pleas or Justice of the Peace Court No. 20 in the 
above-captioned criminal identification numbers.   
 
2
 
(2) 
This Court does not have jurisdiction to hear appeals directly 
from either the Court of Common Pleas or the Justice of the Peace Courts.1  
As such, this appeal manifestly fails to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court.  
Moreover, we conclude, in the exercise of our discretion, that the giving of 
notice would serve no meaningful purpose and that any response would be 
of no avail.2 
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Supreme Court 
Rule 29(c), that the within appeal is DISMISSED.
