93 Pa. Commw. 146 | Pa. Commw. Ct. | 1985
Opinion by
Ahmad Abdul Jabbar Al Samad, a/k/a Roy Williams (Williams), appeals a decision issued by the
Williams, a G-raterford inmate, objected to delays in the commencement of visits, and the resulting shortening of visiting times to less than one hour, caused by the holding back of visitors until completion of the afternoon change in the guard shift. He also complained of the requirement that his minor son produce identification when visiting him.
The Bureau argues that the Commissioner’s decision is not an adjudication subject to appellate review, claiming that it did not implicate any rights or privileges.
We accordingly dismiss Williams’ petition for review.
Order
The petition for review of Ahmad Abdul Jabbar Al Samad, a/k/a Boy Williams, is dismissed.
Williams originally filed a petition for review in our original jurisdiction. In a May 2, 1984 opinion and order dismissing the Bureau’s preliminary objections, we determined that this Complaint should be treated as a petition for review within our appellate jurisdiction.
An adjudication consists of “[a]ny final order, decree, decision or ruling . . . affecting personal or property rights [or] privileges ... of any or all of the parties to the proceeding in which the adjudication is made.” 2 Pa. O. S. §101.
37 Pa. Code §93.3(a) and (h)(3).
Having dismissed Williams’ petition for review, we need not address the merits of his appeal.
