PER CURIAM                                                       DECIDED: July 21, 2023
       AND NOW, this 21st day of July, 2023, the Notice of Appeal is QUASHED. See

42 Pa.C.S. § 723(a) (limiting this Court’s jurisdiction to “appeals from final orders of the

Commonwealth Court entered in any matter which was originally commenced in the

Commonwealth Court”); Pa.R.A.P. 341(b)(1) (defining a final order as one that “disposes

of all claims and of all parties”); Pa.R.Civ.P. 232(a) (“A discontinuance or nonsuit shall

not affect the right of the defendant to proceed with a counterclaim theretofore filed.”). Cf.

Melvin v. Doe, 836 A.2d 42, 44 n.4 (Pa. 2003) (“[A]n order denying a motion for summary

judgment does not terminate the litigation, and thus is not an appealable order.”).
