ROBERTS, Chief Justice,
concurring.
In bringing the present action, appellee merely sought enforcement of an order of the Civil Service Commission entered against appellee’s employer, the Department of Aging; appellee did not seek relief from any determination of the Commission, the agency over which the Commonwealth Court exercises appellate jurisdiction. Accordingly, section 761(c) of the Judicial Code, 42 Pa.C.S. § 761(c), which authorizes the Commonwealth Court to issue prerogative writs to administrative tribunals within that court’s appellate jurisdiction, is inapposite.
As to the merits of appellant’s appeal, the record is clear that the Commonwealth Court correctly granted appellee’s petition to enforce the Commission’s order. The Commonwealth Court’s order, therefore, is properly affirmed.
ZAPPALA, J., joins in this concurring opinion.
