Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania June 4, 1990, No. 1531 C.D. 1989 (McNair v. Owens)

CRAIG, Judge.

Alexander McNair appeals a decision of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County that denied his habeas corpus petition on jurisdictional grounds. McNair appealed that decision to the Superior Court, which transferred the appeal to this court.

Despite the seemingly simple historical description above, this matter presents a jurisdictional puzzle.
