Commonwealth v. Sones

MYERS, P.J.,

On September 16, 1977, prosecutrix in this matter filed a criminal complaint charging defendant with neglect to support a child bom out of wedlock in violation of the Act of December 6, 1972, P.L. 1482, 18 C.P.S.A. §4323. Defendant then filed a motion to quash, in which he asserts that this court is without jurisdiction to hear the matter, and that he was not afforded aprompt trial, as required by Pa.R.Crim.P. 1100.

We need not consider the Rule 1100 issue, since we find that we have no jurisdiction to proceed.
