                                                          March 4, 1999

             CIVIL AND LANDLORD TENANT JUDGMENT/TRANSCRIPT FORMS

The date and signature lines on the Notice of Judgment/Transcript
Civil Case (AOPC 315) and the Notice of Judgment/Transcript 
Nonresidential/Residential) Lease (AOPC 315A and AOPC 315B) where
the District Justice certifies it are now enclosed within a box. 
This will make a clear distinction between the signature line where 
the District Justice signs after a judgment is rendered and the 
signature line where the District Justice signs when a transcript 
is requested.


                  TIME PAYMENT TO CANCEL WARRANT TICKLER

When a Notice of Impending Warrant of Arrest (AOPC 418) is printed,
the defendant has 10 days to respond or the case will appear on the
Warrants to Print - Failure to Pay list.  Now, if a payment is
receipted during this 10-day period which makes the time payment plan
current and up-to-date, the scheduled warrant tickler will automatically
be removed.  A new time payment plan no longer has to be recorded and
issued to have the warrant tickler deleted when the payment is less than
the entire case balance. 


                 REASON CODE FOR CANCELLING PREWARRANT NOTICE

Recording a reason code is now necessary when you cancel a Notice of 
Impending Warrant of Arrest (AOPC 418).  When the Notice of Impending
Warrant of Arrest (AOPC 418) is cancelled from either the Batch
Processing Menu or from within the case at the Actions Menu, a pop-up
window will appear for you to enter the reason code for cancellation.  


                      FACSIMILE SIGNATURE REQUEST FORM

Please remember to mail the Facsimile Signature Request Form (AOPC 105) 
to the AOPC as soon as possible if the District Justice is planning on
using the facsimile signature beginning May 3.  Also, remember to
print the Facsimile Signature Request form on plain bond paper.  For 
additional information on the facsimile signature, refer to 
Modification 3.68 and 3.69.
