       On March 24, 2023, the appellant, Peter Kostyshyn, filed a notice of appeal

from certain actions taken by the Court of Common Pleas in connection with

Kostyshyn’s three pending criminal cases.1 On March 28, 2023, the Senior Court

Clerk issued, by certified mail, a notice directing Kostyshyn to show cause why his

appeal should not be dismissed for this Court’s lack of jurisdiction to consider either

      NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, under Supreme Court

Rules 3(b)(2) and 29(b), that the appeal is DISMISSED.
