Description
SUBMITTED: June 19, 1998 The issue on appeal is whether the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County (trial court) erred in upholding the suspension of Cecelia Pokoy's (Appellant's) driver's license by the Department of Transportation (DOT) where (1) the Clerk of Courts of Allegheny County did not notify DOT of Appellant's conviction under the Vehicle Code for almost four years, but (2) DOT promptly notified Appellant, upon receipt of notice from the Clerk of Courts, that her license was suspended due to the conviction. Because it did not err, the order of the trial court is affirmed. The relevant facts are as follows. On August 19, 1993, Appellant was convicted of violating Section 1543 of the Vehicle Code (Code), 75 Pa. C.S. (1543, for driving on a suspended license. Under Section 1543(c) of the Code, DOT was required to suspend Appellant's license for one year upon notice of the conviction from the Clerk of Courts.
