Opinion

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA EASTERN DISTRICT

IN RE: PETITION OF RETIRED JUDGE : No. 78 EM 2021 FARLEY TOOTHMAN : : : PETITION OF: FARLEY TOOTHMAN :

ORDER

PER CURIAM AND NOW, this 6th day of December, 2021, the “Petition for Allowance of a Subpoena,” seeking this Court’s permission to subpoena the Honorable Gerald R. Solomon pursuant to Rule of Judicial Administration 1701, is DISMISSED.

Rule 1701 specifies that, “[f]or purposes of this rule, judge and magisterial district judge includes those judicial officers in active judicial service or senior status.” Pa.R.J.A.

1701(a). This provision has no apparent application to a subpoena that would be issued on Judge Solomon, as that jurist’s term as a senior judge expired on December 31, 2020.
