§ 65.23. Discontinuances.

 A. Before argument or submission of a case on briefs, an appeal may be withdrawn without approval of the Court.

 B. After argument or submission of a case on briefs, a petition for discontinuance is referred to the presiding judge of the panel. The panel will determine whether to grant or deny the petition.

   Comment: Fugitive appeals will be quashed rather than discontinued on motion of the District Attorney or sua sponte by the Court. See Pa.R.A.P. 1972(6), Commonwealth v. Passaro, 504 Pa. 611, 476 A. 2d 346 (1984).
