Justice SAYLOR,
concurring.
I join the majority opinion. I write only to observe that, pursuant to Pa.R.Crim.P. 550(E), “further proceedings” are due in the common pleas court, and that the Rules of Appellate Procedure provide for the transmittal of misfiled appeals *449to the correct office within the unified judicial system and the perfection of premature appeals upon the entry of an appeal-able order. See Pa.R.A.P. 905(a)(4), (5).
Finally, I wish to note that, to the extent the Commonwealth is arguing that Rule 550(D)’s as-of-right withdrawal-of-plea procedure forecloses all other avenues for withdrawal of a plea which is demonstrably unknowing, involuntary, and/or unintelligent, I do not subscribe to such position.
