COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF PENNSYLVANIA Appellee

v.

THEODORE JAMES CASH

Appellant No. 1671 MDA 2014

Appeal from the Order September 18, 2014 In the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County Criminal Division at No(s): CP-28-CR-0001740-2012

BEFORE: PANELLA, J., OLSON, J., and OTT, J.

JUDGMENT ORDER BY PANELLA, J. FILED JUNE 02, 2015

Appellant, Theodore James Cash, appeals pro se from the order

entered by the Honorable Shawn D. Meyers that found certain items of

Cash’s property forfeited, while denying forfeiture of other items. After

careful review, we conclude that we lack jurisdiction to entertain this appeal,

and transfer it to the Commonwealth Court.

Appeals from orders forfeiting property under the Controlled

Substances Forfeiture Act are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the

Commonwealth Court. See Commonwealth v. Gordon Street, 592 A.2d

756 (Pa. Super. 1991). Since this appeal does not include an appeal from a

judgment of sentence, we lack jurisdiction. C.f. Commonwealth v. Alston,

722 A.2d 161, 162 n.1 (Pa. Super. 1998). We therefore direct the

Prothonotary to transfer this appeal to the Commonwealth Court. J-S16014-15

Appeal transferred to the Commonwealth Court. Jurisdiction

relinquished.
