NON-PRECEDENTIAL DECISION - SEE SUPERIOR COURT I.O.P. 65.37 COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA Appellee v. ARNOLD KING Appellant No. 1588 EDA 2014
Appeal from the PCRA Order April 30, 2014 In the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County Criminal Division at No(s): CP-51-CR-0510261-1979
BEFORE: FORD ELLIOTT, P.J.E., PANELLA, J., and OTT, J.
JUDGMENT ORDER BY PANELLA, J. FILED MARCH 24, 2015 Appellant, Arnold King, appeals from the order granting restoration of his appellate rights from a November 19, 2008 order denying his fourth petition pursuant to the Post Conviction Relief Act (“PCRA”). King is currently serving a life-sentence after being convicted of murdering a deli owner during an armed robbery. We quash the appeal, as King is not an aggrieved party of the order he has appealed. See Pa.R.A.P., Rule 501; Commonwealth v. Polo, 759 A.2d 372, 373 n.1 (Pa. 2000). We further note that the PCRA court was without jurisdiction to grant nunc pro tunc relief pursuant to King’s fifth, untimely amended petition, which did not allege any exceptions to the PCRA’s time bar. See Commonwealth v. Wharton, 886 A.2d 1120, 1125-1126 (Pa. 2005).
Appeal quashed. Jurisdiction relinquished.
