CONCURRING OPINION BY
KLEIN, J.:
¶ 1 I agree with the majority that if an application for determination for finality is filed more than thirty days after the order in question, the trial court cannot act on this application. See Pa.R.A.P. 341(c)(1), (3). Therefore, while Judge Herron’s determination that an immediate appeal would facilitate resolution of the entire case may be accurate, he was out of time to enter such an order.
¶ 2 This situation creates difficulties, because neither party raises the issue of appealability and it is not addressed by the trial court. A review of the record does seem to indicate that the additional defendants are still in the case and that the plaintiff can maintain an action against them. See Pa.R.C.P. 2252, 2255(d). If that is not the case, the remedy would have to be a petition for reconsideration before this panel.
