ORDER 
 
On March 12, 2019, the appellant, Peter Kostyshyn, filed a notice of appeal 
from the Superior Court’s rulings, on February 21, 2019, that Kostyshyn was 
competent to address allegations that he violated his probation, granting counsel’s 
motion to withdraw and stating that the Offense of Defense Services would be 
contacted about appointment of new counsel, denying Kostyshyn’s motion for 
recusal, denying Kostyshyn’s motion to modify bail without prejudice, and denying 
Kostyshyn’s other motions.  On March 12, 2019, the Senior Court Clerk issued a 
notice directing Kostyshyn to show why this appeal should not be dismissed based 
on: (i) this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to hear a criminal interlocutory appeal; and 
(ii) his failure to comply with this Court’s July 16, 2013 order requiring him to 
include the filing fee or a properly completed motion to proceed in forma pauperis 
2 
 
with pro se filings relating to his criminal cases.  Kostyshyn failed to respond to the 
notice to show cause within the required the ten-day period, making dismissal 
deemed to be unopposed.   
This is the second interlocutory appeal and third proceeding Kostyshyn has 
instituted in this Court relating to his alleged violation of probation in 2018.1  If 
Kostyshyn files any additional interlocutory appeals or writs in this Court relating to 
this alleged violation of probation, the Clerk is directed not to docket such filings 
absent leave of the Court. 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, under Supreme Court Rules 3(b)(2) 
and 29(c), that this appeal is DISMISSED.
