Petitioner is the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau (hereinafter called "Bureau") created under the provisions of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Act of July 7, 1947, P.L.1368, as amended 72 P.S.95860.101 et seq. 2. This Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale concerns a parcel of real estate which was exposed to Judicial Sale of real estate on July 28, 2000, which was tax parcel number 13-24-0807-235, owned prior to the Judicial Sale, or reputedly owned prior to the Judicial Sale, by Craig Corporation, and consisting of property situate in the Borough of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and known as 0000 Croghan Drive, and may also be known as Lot 19, Block G, Meeting House Heights. The property had been previously exposed to upset sale in September of 1999, but no bid was received. 3. Although the property was exposed to judicial sale on July 28, 2000, it appears now that the property was improperly exposed to judicial sale. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 1 1'.."""",~. . ~.^" 4. At the said sale no bid was received for the property. The Bureau, believing that the property was properly exposed to judicial sale, believed that the property thereafter automatically was placed in the category of "repository for unsold properties" pursuant to 72 P.S. 95860.626 (reproduced in part at paragraph 18 hereof) thus permitting a sale of the property by the Bureau without further court approval or advertisement pursuant to 72 P.S. 95860.627 (reproduced at paragraph 19 hereof). 5. The property was sold by the Bureau by private sale for $250.00 (plus transfer tax and recording costs), a price less than the total taxes due on the property, to William E. Love of 4500-1 Rocky Spring Road, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 17201, who paid said purchase price to the Tax Claim Bureau. A copy of a "bid" offer to purchase the property dated August 8,2000, from William E. Love is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the acceptance of this bid by the Tax Claim Bureau by letter dated August 13, 2000 is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the Tax Claim Bureau Deed dated October 13, 2000 is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "C," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. Section 2. The June 9. 2000 Rule Returnable Hearina. 6. This action was initiated by Petition For Rule For Judicial Sale filed on March 10,2000 to which a Rule to Show Cause was entered on March 15, 2000. The said Rule was returnable on June 9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 7. There were a total of fifteen properties from the 1999 upset tax sale for which Petitions for Judicial Sale were filed on March 10, 2000. Those fifteen cases Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 2 ;^'''''~b \4 . - were filed to numbers 2000-1405 through 2000-1419. All 15 cases had the same Rule Returnable date and time of June 9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 8. At the Rule Returnable date and time each matter was considered separately, in the order of their file numbers, to wit: beginning with No. 2000-1405 and ending with No. 2000-1419. 9. At the Rule Returnable date and time, for each of the 15 cases, the Bureau asked for one of three orders, to wit: (i) A general continuance (if the Bureau continued to have difficulty obtaining seNice); (ii) An order fixing a sale date of July 28, 2000; and (iii) A withdraw of the Petition if the taxes had been paid. 10. At the Rule Returnable date and time Stephen O. Tiley, Assistant Cumberland County Solicitor, counsel for the Bureau, kept notes of each case and the requested outcome, which was the outcome ordered in each case. A copy of those notes is attached hereto as Exhibit "0" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 11. In each of the 15 cases, at the Rule Returnable date and time, the Court entered an Order from the bench, which order was thereafter transcribed and signed by the Court. 12. While not all of the orders were transcribed correctly in said fifteen cases, your petitioner believes that in the above captioned matter the written order is correct. For all of the other cases, where corrective orders were required they have been obtained. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 3 ,c,_, ~ -~ 13. Exhibit "E" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference thereto is a summary of the 15 cases, the relief sought and ordered from the bench, the relief granted in the written orders, and the current status of the matter. 14. A copy of the Court's written order of June 9, 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit "F." 3. Legal Provisions For Private Sale 15. The Bureau can enter enter into a private sale in two instances, to wit: (i) After an unsuccessful upset sale, the Bureau can enter into a private sale upon notice to the public and to the taxing bodies, and (ii) After an unsuccessful judicial sale, the real estate can be sold by the Bureau with the consent of the taxing districts. 16. The last sentence of section 605 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. 95860.605) states: No upset sale may be continued beyond the end of the calendar year, and no property may be sold at private sale or judicial sale unless the property has first been exposed to upset sale and was not sold at upset sale. 17. Section 613(a) ofthe Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. 95860.613(a)) provides: At any time after any property has been exposed to public sale and such property was not sold because no bid was made equal to the upset price, as hereinbefore provided, and whether or not proceedings are initiated pursuant to sections 610 through 612.1, [Sections 5860.610 to 5860.612-1] the bureau may, on its own motion, and shall, on the written instructions of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against said property, agree to sell the property at private sale, at any price approved by the bureau. Notice of the proposed sale, stating the price and the property proposed to be sold, shall be given to each such taxing district and to the owner of the property. Notice shall also be given by publication at least two (2) times, with approximately ten (10) days intervening between each publication, in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation published in the county where the property is located and in the official legal journal of that county. The notice by publication shall set forth the location of the property, the date and place of sale, the price and terms of sale, and the Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale {Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104} Page 4 '~,%~~ provision that the property will be sold free and clear of all tax claims and tax judgments. The corporate authorities of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against the property which is to be sold, the owner, an interested party, or a person interested in purchasing the property may, if not satisfied that the sale price approved by the bureau is sufficient, within forty-five (45) days after notice of the proposed sale, petition the court of common pleas of the county to disapprove the sale. The court shall, in such case, after notice to each such taxing district, the owner, the bureau, the purchaser and any other person who has joined in the petition, hear all parties. After such hearing, the court may either confirm or disapprove the sale as to it appears just and proper. If the sale is disapproved, the court shall at the same time fix a price below which such property shall not be sold and order that, if no private sale can be arranged, the property be sold at public judicial sale under this act. If more than one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the court shall direct the bureau to conduct an auction-style bid of the property among the parties to the proceedings. If only one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the bureau shall sell the property to that party without the necessity of an auction. Footnote omitted- replaced by bracket reference. 18. Section 626 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. ~5860.626) provides, inter alia.: If, after conducting and exposing a property to a judicial sale under the provisions of this act. . . any property remains unsold, it shall be placed in a category to be termed "repository for unsold properties." 19. Section 627 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. ~5860.627) provides: (a) The bureau may, with the written consent of all the taxing districts where the property is located, accept an offer of any price for property placed in the "repository for unsold properties" without court approval and published notice of sale. Any taxing district may not unreasonably withhold its consent to the sale of the property. (b) The property shall be conveyed to the purchaser upon payment of the agreed price, free and clear of all tax and municipal claims, mortgages, liens, and charges and estates of whatsoever kind, except ground rents separately taxed. It shall be the responsibility of the bureau to have the deed recorded at the expense of the purchaser. 20. A private sale pursuant to Section 613is not freed and clear of any liens. A private sale pursuant to Section 627, after an unsuccessful judicial sale, is free and clear of liens except separately taxed ground rents. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 5 ""'~Io " ~-,. 21. It was represented to the purchaser of the property at the private sale (William E. Love) that he was purchasing a property from the repository for unsold properties, and thus, freed and clear of liens except any separately taxed ground rents. 4. Relief Reauested. 22. A continuance was requested on June 9, 2000 because the Bureau did not have actual service of process upon Craig Corporation. See copy of Sheriff's Return attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 23. Although the Pennsylvania Department of State continues to maintain a record of Craig Corporation as a Pennsylvania corporation with a registered address at NW & Lincoln Streets, P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Craig Corporation has no Pennsylvania address at which it can be contacted. Stephen D. Tiley, counsel for the Tax Claim Bureau, contacted both Carlisle attorney James D. Flower who represented Craig Corporation at one time, and Mr. Robert Chilton who was a principal of Craig Corporation. When asked if they knew how service could be effected upon Craig Corporation each such individual referred Stephen D. Tiley to the other. Neither such individual knew of a means of contacting or serving Craig Corporation but both knew that the last office was in Florida and Robert Chilton recognized the name of a survivor corporation as Cutler Manufacturing Corporation. Robert Chilton indicated that he had wanted to purchase this lot from the corporation, contacted a party in Florida at one time, and they would not acknowledge that Craig Corporation was in existence nor that it had any assets in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Robert Chilton further advised that all offices in Pennsylvania had been closed for Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 6 ,'-,..~~""" ~ many years and that the P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, address had not been active for at least 25 years. 24. Section 611 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law governs service of the rule returnable for a Judicial Sale and provides, inter alia.: . . . If service of the rule cannot be made in this Commonwealth, then the rule shall be served on the person named in the rule by the sheriff, by sending him, by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, at least fifteen (15) days before the return day of the rule, a true and attested copy thereof, addressed to such person's last known post office address. The sheriff shall attach to his return, the return receipts, and if the person named in the rule has refused to accept the registered mail or cannot be found at his last known address, shall attach evidence thereof. This shall constitute sufficient service under this act. (72 P.S. 95860.611) Emphasis Added. 25. Paragraph 5 of the Petition for Judicial Sale which initiated this action stated: The last known address of the owner of the property as set forth in the assessment records of Cumberland County is: c/o Cutler Mfg. Co. at Drawer M, Eaton Park, Florida 3840. Another address obtained by the Tax Claim Bureau is 5204 U.S. Highway 98 South, Lakeland, FL 33813-4203. 26. In the files of the Tax Claim Bureau there is a return envelope from: Cutler Manufacturing Corporation, 3240 Flightline Drive, Lakeland, Florida 33811- 2844. 27. The Tax Claim Bureau is advised by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue that their address for Craig Corporation is: P.O. Box Girard M, Eaton Park, FL 33840. 28. The Bureau believes, and therefore avers, that it now is able to obtain Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 7 ".''1f~~ I~ ~ .. ~~--~,"- Service upon the Craig Corporation through one of the above addresses and that if it does the Craig Corporation will not object to the Judicial Sale or a confirmation of the private sale to William E. Love. 29. All other respondents to the original Rule To Show Cause returnable June 9, 2000, including the Bureau of Compliance of the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue concerning a corporate tax lien, were properly served with the Rule and none appeared at the Rule Returnable date nor did any file any response with the Court. 30. Therefore the Bureau believes that the only party now potentially interested in this matter is the Craig Corporation and that a Rule to Show cause why a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicial Sale (ordering sale on July 28, 2000) and Confirmation of Private Sale will resolve this matter. WHEREFORE, Petitioner, the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau, prays your honorable Court for a rule upon the Respondent, Craig Corporation, to show cause why the Court should not enter a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicial Sale, dated June 9, 2000 and ordering sale on July 28, 2000, and why the Court should not enter an order confirming the private sale to William E. Love. Respectfully submitted, Dated: ~A f9/ d"&'O'/ ~ ;.(J - '7.~ ph .

" INRE: TAX SALE OF 1999 UNDER THE REAL ESTATE TAX SALE LAW; IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA PROPERTY OF CRAIG CORPORATION NO. 2000 - 1411 TAX PARCEL NO.: 05-19-1647-104 PETITION FOR NUNC PRO TUNC ORDER FOR JUDICIAL SALE JULY 28. 2000 AND FOR CONFIRMATION OF PRIVATE SALE Section 1. Background 1. Petitioner is the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau (hereinafter called "Bureau") created under the provisions of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Act of July 7, 1947, P.L.1368, as amended 72 P.S.95860.101 et seq. 2. This Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale concerns a parcel of real estate which was exposed to Judicial Sale of real estate on July 28, 2000, which was tax parcel number 13-24-0807-235, owned prior to the Judicial Sale, or reputedly owned prior to the Judicial Sale, by Craig Corporation, and consisting of property .. situate in the Borough of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and known as 0000 Croghan Drive, and may also be known as Lot 19, Block G, Meeting House Heights. The property had been previously exposed to upset sale in September of 1999, but no bid was received. 3. Although the property was exposed tojudicial sale on July 28, 2000, it appears now that the property was improperly exposed to judicial sale. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 1 "'"""''l'1'''''Jlf!ll ,~. .-=' " 4. At the said sale no bid was received for the property. The Bureau, believing that the property was properly exposed to judicial sale, believed that the property thereafter automatically was placed in the category of "repository for unsold properties" pursuant to 72 P.S. 95860.626 (reproduced in part at paragraph 18 hereof) thus permitting a sale of the property by the Bureau without further court approval or advertisement pursuant to 72 P.S. 95860.627 (reproduced at paragraph 19 hereof). 5. The property was sold by the Bureau by private sale for $250.00 (plus transfer tax and recording costs), a price less than the total taxes due on the property, to William E. Love of 4500-1 Rocky Spring Road, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 17201, who paid said purchase price to the Tax Claim Bureau. A copy of a "bid" offer to purchase the property dated August 8, 2000, from William E. Love is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the acceptance of this bid by the Tax Claim Bureau by letter dated August 13, 2000 is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the Tax Claim Bureau Deed dated October 13, 2000 is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "C," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. Section 2. The June 9. 2000 Rule Returnable Hearina. 6. This action was initiated by Petition For Rule For Judicial Sale filed on March 10, 2000 to which a Rule to Show Cause was entered on March 15, 2000. The said Rule was returnable on June '9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 7. There were a total of fifteen properties from the 1999 upset tax sale for which Petitions for Judicial Sale were filed on March 10, 2000. Those fifteen cases Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 2 ,~""""""~" ,- were filed to numbers 2000-1405 through 2000-1419. All 15 cases had the same Rule Returnable date and time of June 9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 8. At the Rule Returnable date and time each matter was considered separately, in the order of their file numbers, to wit: beginning with No. 2000-1405 and ending with No. 2000-1419. 9. At the Rule Returnable date and time, for each of the 15 cases, the Bureau asked for one of three orders, to wit: (i) A general continuance (if the Bureau continued to have difficulty obtaining service); (ii) An order fixing a sale date of July 28, 2000; and (Hi) A withdraw of the Petition if the taxes had been paid. 10. At the Rule Returnable date and time Stephen D. Tiley, Assistant Cumberland County Solicitor, counsel for the Bureau, kept notes of each case and the requested outcome, which was the outcome ordered in each case. A copy of those notes is attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 11. In each of the 15 cases, at the Rule Returnable date and time, the Court entered an Order from the bench, which order was thereafter transcribed and signed by the Court. 12. While not all of the orders were transcribed correctly in said fifteen cases, your petitioner believes that in the above captioned matter the written order is correct. For all of the other cases, where corrective orders were required they have been obtained. Nunc Pro Tunc Pelition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 3 ^""'~t.,...,. - . , 13. Exhibit "E" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference thereto is a summary of the 15 cases, the relief sought and ordered from the bench, the relief granted in the written orders, and the current status of the matter. 14. A copy of the Court's written order of June 9, 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit "F." 3. Leaal Provisions For Private Sale 15. The Bureau can enter enter into a private sale in two instances, to wit: (i) After an unsuccessful upset sale, the Bureau can enter into a private sale upon notice to the public and to the taxing bodies, and (ii) After an unsuccessful judicial sale, the real estate can be sold by the Bureau with the consent of the taxing districts. 16. The last sentence of section 605 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. 35860.605) states: No upset sale may be continued beyond the end of the calendar year, and no property may be sold at private sale or judicial sale unless the property has first been exposed to upset sale and was not sold at upset sale. 17. Section 613(a) of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. 35860.613(a)) provides: At any time after any property haS been exposed to public sale and such property was not sold because no bid was made equal to the upset price, as hereinbefore provided, and whether or not proceedings are initiated pursuant to sections 610 through 612.1, [Sections 5860.610 to 5860.612-1J the bureau may, on its own motion, and shall, on the written instructions of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against said property, agree to sell the property at private sale, at any price approved by the bureau. Notice of the proposed sale; stating the price and the property proposed to be sold, shall be given to each such taxing district and to the owner of the property. Notice shall also be given by publication at least two (2) times, with approximately ten (10) days intervening between each publication, in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation published in the county where the property is located and in the official legal journal of that county. The notice by publication shall set forth the location of the property, the date and place of sale, the price and terms of sale, and the Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 4 <.'''''''''\>'''!~m -2-,- provision that the property will be sold free and clear of all tax claims and tax judgments. The corporate authorities of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against the property which is to be sold, the owner, an interested party, or a person interested in purchasing the property may, jf not satisfied that the sale price approved by the bureau is sufficient, within forty-five (45) days after notice of the proposed sale, petition the court of common pleas of the county to disapprove the sale. The court shall, in such case, after notice to each such taxing district, the owner, the bureau, the purchaser and any other person who has joined in the petition, hear all parties. After such hearing, the court may either confirm or disapprove the sale as to it appears just and proper. If the sale is disapproved, the court shall at the same time fix a price below which such property shall not be sold and order that, if no private sale can be arranged, the property be sold at public judicial sale under this act If more than one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the court shall direct the bureau to conduct an auction-style bid of the property among the parties to the proceedings. If only one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the bureau shall sell the property to that party without the necessity of an auction. Footnote omitted- replaced by bracket reference. 18. Section 626 of the Real Estate Tax Safe Law (72 P.S. S5860.626) provides, inter alia.: If, after conducting and exposing a property to a judicial sale under the provisions of this act. . . any property remains unsold, it shall be placed in a category to be termed "repository for unsold properties." 19. Section 627 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. S5860.627) provides: (a) The bureau may, with the written consent of all the taxing districts where the property ;s located, accept an offer of any price for property placed in the "repository for unsold properties" without court approval and pUblished notice of sale. Any taxing district may not unreasonably withhold its consent to the sale of the property. (b) The property shall be conveyed to the purchaser upon payment of the agreed price, free and clear of all tax and municipal claims, mortgages, liens, and charges and estates of whatsoever kind, except ground rents separately taxed. It shall be the responsibility of the bureau to have the deed recorded at the expense of the purchaser. 20. A private sale pursuant to Section 613 is not freed and clear of any liens. A private sale pursuant to Section 627, after an unsuccessful judicial sale, is free and clear of liens except separately taxed ground rents. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 5 ~'''';I'\I';. 21. It was represented to the purchaser of the property at the private sale (William E. Love) that he was purchasing a property from the repository for unsold properties, and thus, freed and clear of liens except any separately taxed ground rents. 4. Relief Reauested. 22. A continuance was requested on June 9, 2000 because the Bureau did not have actual service of process upon Craig Corporation. See copy of Sheriff's Return attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 23. Although the Pennsylvania Department of State continues to maintain a record of Craig Corporation as a Pennsylvania corporation with a registered address at NW & Lincoln Streets, P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Craig Corporation has no Pennsylvania address at which it can be contacted. Stephen D. Tiley, counsel for the Tax Claim Bureau, contacted both Carlisle attorney James D. Flower who represented Craig Corporation at one time, and Mr. Robert Chilton who was a principal of Craig Corporation. When asked if they knew how service could be effected upon Craig Corporation each such individual referred Stephen D. Tiley to the other. Neither such individual knew of a means of contacting or serving Craig Corporation but both knew that the last office was in Florida and Robert Chilton recognized the name of a survivor corporation as Cutler Manufacturing Corporation. Robert Chilton indicated that he had wanted to purchase this lot from the corporation, . contacted a party in Florida at one time, and theywould not acknowledge that Craig Corporation was in existence nor that it had any assets in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Robert Chilton further advised that all offices in Pennsylvania had been closed for Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 6 :';._, " many years and that the P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, address had not been active for at least 25 years. 24. Section 611 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law governs service of the rule returnable for a Judicial Sale and provides, inter alia.: . . . If service of the rule cannot be made in this Commonwealth, then the rule shall be served on the person named in the rule by the sheriff, by sending him, by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, at least fifteen (15) days before the return day of the rule, a true and attested copy thereof, addressed to such person's last known post office address. The sheriff shall attach to his return, the return receipts, and if the person named in the rule has refused to accept the registered mail or cannot be found at his last known address, shail attach evidence thereof. This shall constitute sufficient service under this act (72 P.S. 95860.611) Emphasis Added. 25. Paragraph 5 of the Petition for Judicial Sale which initiated this action stated: The last known address of the owner of the property as set forth in the assessment records of Cumberland County is: c/o Cutler Mfg. Co. at Drawer M, Eaton Park, Florida 3840. Another address obtained by the Tax Claim Bureau is 5204 U.S. Highway 98 South, Lakeland, FL 33813-4203. 26. In the files of the Tax Claim Bureau there is a return envelope from: Cutler Manufacturing Corporation, 3240 Flightline Drive, Lakeland, Florida 33811- 2844. 27. The Tax Claim Bureau is advised by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue that their.address for Craig Corporation is: P.O. Box Girard M, Eaton Park, FL 33840. 28. The Bureau believes, and therefore avers, that it now is able to obtain Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) PajJe 7 "_7!l:'I~ Service upon the Craig Corporation through one of the above addresses and that if it does the Craig Corporation will not object to the Judicial Sale or a confirmation of the private sale to William E. Love. 29. All other respondents to the original Rule To Show Cause returnable June 9, 2000, including the Bureau of Compliance of the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue concerning a corporate tax lien, were properly served with the Rule and none appeared at the Rule Returnable date nor did any file any response with the Court. 30. Therefore the Bureau believes that the only party now potentially interested in this matter is the Craig Corporation and that a Rule to Show cause why a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicial Sale (ordering sale on July 28, 2000) and Confirmation of Private Sale will resolve this matter. WHEREFORE, Petitioner, the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau, prays your honorable Court for a rule upon the Respondent, Craig Corporation, to show cause why the Court should not enter a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicial Sale, dated June 9, 2000 and ordering sale on July 28, 2000, and why the Court should not enter an order confirming the private sale to William E. Love. Respectfully submitted, Dated: #/.-1./17 .;:>0/ d,s;Ci",/ / ~..-tI-7"0 ph .

ESTATE TAX SALE LAW; PROPERTY OF CRAIG CORPORATION IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA NO. 2000 - 1411 TAX PARCEL NO.: 05-19-1647 -104 PETITION FOR NUNC PRO TUNC ORDER FOR JUDICIAL SALE JULY 28. 2000 AND FOR CONFIRMATION OF PRIVATE SALE Section 1. Backaround 1. Petitioner is the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau (hereinafter called "Bureau") created under the provisions of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Act of July 7, 1947, P.L.1368, as amended 72 P.S.35860.101 et seq. 2. This Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale concerns a parcel of real estate which was exposed to Judicial Sale of real estate on July 28, 2000, which was tax parcel number 13-24-0807-235, owned prior to the Judicial Sale, or reputedly owned prior to the Judicial Sale, by Craig Corporation, and consisting of property situate in the Borough of Carlisle, Cumberla[ld County, Pennsylvania, and known as 0000 Croghan Drive, and may also be known as Lot 19, Block G, Meeting House Heights. The property had been previously exposed to upset sale in September of 1999, but no bid was received. 3., Although the property was exposed to judicial sale on July 28, 2000, it appears now that the property was improperly exposed to judicial sale.

The Bureau, believing that the property was properly exposed to judicial sale, believed that the property thereafter automatically was placed in the category of "repository for unsold properties" pursuant to 72 P.S. S5860.626 (reproduced in part at paragraph 18 hereof) thus permitting a sale of the property by the Bureau without further court approval or advertisement pursuant to 72 P.S. S5860.627 (reproduced at paragraph 19 hereof). 5. The property was sold by the Bureau by private sale for $250.00 (plus transfer tax and recording costs), a price less than the total taxes due on the property, to William E. Love of 4500-1 Rocky Spring Road, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 17201, who paid said purchase price to the Tax Claim Bureau. A copy of a "bid" offer to purchase the property dated August 8, 2000, from William E. Love is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the acceptance of this bid by the Tax Claim Bureau by letter dated August 13, 2000 is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the Tax Claim Bureau Deed dated October 13, 2000 is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "C," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. Section 2. The June 9. 2000 Rule Returnable Hearina. 6. This action was initiated by Petition For Rule For Judicial Sale filed on March 10, 2000 to which a Rule to Show Cause was entered on March 15, 2000. The said Rule was returnable on June 9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 7. There were a total of fifteen properties from the 1999 upset tax sale for which Petitions for Judicial Sale were filed on March 10,2000. Those fifteen cases Nunc Pro Tunc Retitlon for Private Sale (Parcel No, 05-19-1647-104) Page 2 - ~-~~,._-" ~,: ' were filed to numbers 2000-1405 through 2000-1419. All 15 cases had the same , .. Rule Returnable date and time of June 9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 8. At the Rule Returnable date and time each matter was considered separately, in the order of their file numbers, to wit: beginning with No. 2000-1405 and ending with No. 2000-1419. 9. At the Rule Returnable date and time, for each of the 15 cases, the Bureau asked for one of three orders, to wit: (i) A general continuance (if the Bureau continued to have difficulty obtaining service); (ii) An order fixing a sale date of July 28, 2000; and (Hi) A withdraw of the Petition if the taxes had been paid. 10. At the Rule Returnable date and time Stephen O. Tiley, Assistant Cumberland County Solicitor, counsel for the Bureau, kept notes of each case and the requested outcome, which was the outcome ordered in each case. A copy of those notes is attached hereto as Exhibit "0" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 11. In each of the 15 cases, at the Rule Returnable date and time, the Court entered an Order from the bench, which order was thereafter transcribed and signed by the Court. 12. While not all of the orders were transcribed correctly in said fifteen cases, your petitioner believes that in the above captioned matter the written order is correct. For all of the other cases, where corrective orders were required they have been obtained. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page :3 ...... ~ ..... ~ " ~ -'-~:; 13. Exhibit "Eo" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference thereto . , . IS a summary of the 15 cases, the relief sought and ordered from the bench, the relief granted in the written orders, and the current status of the matter. 14. A copy of the Court's written order of June 9, 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit "F." 3. Leaal Provisions For Private Sale 15. The Bureau can enter enter into a private sale in two instances, to wit: (i) After an unsuccessful upset sale, the Bureau can enter into a private sale upon notice to the public and to the taxing bodies, and (ii) After an unsuccessful judicial sale, the real estate can be sold by the Bureau with the consent of the taxing districts. 16. The last sentence of section 605 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. s5860.605) states: No upset sale may be continued beyond the end of the calendar year, and no property may be sold at private sale or judicial sale unless the property has first been exposed to upset sale and was not sold at upset sale. 17. Section 613(a) of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. S5860.613(a)) provides: At arw time after any property has been exposed to public sale 'ahd such' property was not sold because no bid was made equal to the upset price, as hereinbefore provided, and whether or not proceedings are initiated pursuanl to sections 610 through 612.1, [Sections 5860.610 to 5860.612-1] the bureau may, on its own motion, and shall, on the written instructions of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against said property, agree to sell the property at private sale, at any price approved by the bureau. Notice of the proposed sale, stating the price and the property proposed to be sold, shall be given to each such taxing district and to the owner of the property. Notice shall also be given by publication at least two (2) times, with approximately ten (10) days intervening between each publication, in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation published in the county where the property is located and in the official legal journai of that county. The notice by publication shall set forth the location of the property, the date and place of sale, the price and terms of sale, and the Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 4 -" " .~ -- "~~ . llii,;;c " ' provision that the property will be sold free and clear of all tax claims and tax judgments. The corporate authorities of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against the property which is to be sold, the owner, an interested party, or a person interested in purchasing the property may, if not satisfied that the sale price approved by the bureau is sufficient, within forty-five (45) days after notice of the proposed sale, petition the court of common pleas of the county to disapprove the sale. The court shall, in such case, after notice to each such taxing district, the owner, the bureau, Ihe purchaser and any other person who has joined in the petition, hear all parties. After such hearing, the court may either confirm or disapprove the sale as to it appears just and proper, If the sale is disapproved, the court shall at the same time fix a price below which such property shall not be soid and order that, if no private sale can be arranged, the property be sold at public judicial sale under this act. If more than one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the court shall direct the bureau to conduct an auction-style bid of the property among the parties to the proceedings. If only one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the bureau shall sell the property to that party without the necessity of an auction, Footnote omitted- replaced by bracket reference. 18. Section 626 of the Real Estate Tax Sale law (72 P.S. S5860.626) provides, inter alia.: If, after conducting and exposing a property to a judicial sale under the prOVisions of this act. . . any property remains unsold, it shall be placed in a category to be termed "repository for unsold properties," 19. Section 627 of the Real Estate Tax Sale law (72 P.S. S5860.627) provides: (a) The bureau may, with the written consent of all the taxing districts where the property is located, accept an offer of any price for property placed in the "repository for unsold properties" without court approval and published notice of sale. Any taxing district may not unreasonably withhold its consent to the sale of the property. (b) The property shall be conveyed to the purchaser upon payment of the agreed price, free and clear of all tax and municipal claims, mortgages, liens, and charges and estates of whatsoever kind, except ground rents separately taxed. It shall be the responSibility of the bureau to have the deed recorded at the expense of the purchaser. 20. A private sale pursuant to Section 613 is not freed and clear of any liens. A private sale pursuant to Section 627, after an unsuccessful judicial sale, is free and clear of liens except separately taxed ground rents. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page !5 " , . '-~~""'" , 21. It was represented to the purchaser of the property at the private sale , , (William E. Love) that he was purchasing a property from the repository for unsold properties, and thus, freed and clear of liens except any separately taxed ground rents. 4. Relief Reauested. 22. A continuance was requested on June 9, 2000 because the Bureau did not have actual service of process upon Craig Corporation. See copy of Sheriff's Return attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 23. Although the Pennsylvania Department of State continues to maintain a record of Craig Corporation as a Pennsylvania corporation with a registered address at NW & Lincoln Streets, P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Craig Corporation has no Pennsylvania address at which it can be contacted. Stephen D. Tiley, counsel for the Tax Claim Bureau, contacted both Carlisle attorney James D. Flower who represented Craig Corporation at one time, and Mr. Robert Chilton who was a principal of Craig Corporation. When asked if they knew how service could be effected upon Craig Corporation each such individual referred Stephen D. Tiley to the other. Neither such individual knew of a means of contacting or serving Craig Corporation but both knew that the last office was in Florida and Robert Chilton recognized the name of a survivor corporation as Cutler Manufacturing Corporation. Robert Chilton indicated that he had wanted to purchase this lot from the corporation, contacted a party in Florida at one time, and they would not acknowledge that Craig Corporation was in existence nor that it had any assets in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Robert Chilton further advised that all offices in Pennsylvania had been closed for Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 6 . '== J.,,'~,h , many years and that the P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, address had not been active for at least 25 'years.' 24. Section 611 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law governs service of the rule returnable for a Judicial Sale and provides, inter alia.: , . If service of the rule cannot be made in this Commonwealth, then the rule shall be served on the person named in the rule by the sheriff, by sending him, by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, alleast fifteen (15) days before the return day of the rule, a lrue and attested copy thereof, addressed to such person's last known post office address, The sheriff shall attach to his return, the return receipts, and if the person named in the rule has refused to accept the registered mail or cannot be found at his last known address, shall attach evidence thereof. This shall constitute sufficient service under this act. (72 P.S, 95860.611) Emphasis Added. 25. Paragraph 5 of the Petition for Judicial Sale which initiated this action stated: The last known address of the owner of the property as set forth in the assessment records of Cumberland County is: c/o Cutler Mfg. Co. at Drawer M, Eaton Park, Florida 3840. Another address obtained by the Tax Ciaim Bureau is 5204 U,S. Highway 98 South, Lakeland, FL 33813-4203, 26. In the fifes of the Tax Claim Bureau there is a return envelope from: Cutler Manufacturing Corporation, 3240 Flightline Drive, Lakeland, Florida 33811- 2844. 27. The Tax Claim Bureau is advised by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue that their address for Craig Corporation is: P.O. Elox Girard M, Eaton Park, FL 33840. 28. The Bureau believes, and therefore avers, that it now is able to obtain Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No: 05-19-1647-104) Page 1 - "" ~ " "', " ". ~i" Service upon the Craig Corporation through one of the above addresses and that if it does the Craig' Corporation will not object to the Judicial Sale or a confirmation of the private sale to William E. Love. 29. All other respondents to the original Rule To Show Cause returnable June 9, 2000, including the Bureau of Compliance of the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue concerning a corporate tax lien, were properly served with the Rule and none appeared at the Rule Returnable date nor did any file any response with the Court. 30. Therefore the Bureau believes that the only party now potentially interested in this matter is the Craig Corporation and that a Rule to Show cause why a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicial Sale (ordering sale on July 28, 2000) and Confirmation of Private Sale will resolve this matter. WHEREFORE, Petitioner, the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau, prays your honorable Court for a rule upon the Respondent, Craig Corporation, to show cause why the Court should not enter a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicial Sale, dated June 9, 2000 and ordering sale on July 28, 2000, and why the Court should not enter an order confirming the private sale to William E.

IN RE: TAX SALE OF 1999 UNDER THE REAL ESTATE T TAX SALE CAW; IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA PROPERTY OF CRAIG CORPORATION NO. 2000 - 1411 TAX PARCEL NO.: 05-19-1647-104 PETITION FOR NUNC PRO TUNC ORDER FOR JUDICIAL SALE JULY 28. 2000 AND FOR CONFIRMATION OF PRIVATE SALE Section 1. Background 1. Petitioner is the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau (hereinafter called "Bureau") created under the provisions of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Act of July 7, 1947, P.L.1368, as amended 72 P.S.s5860.101 et seq. 2. This Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale concerns a parcel of real estate which was exposed to Judicial Sale of real estate on July 28, 2000, which was tax parcel number 13-24-0807-235, owned prior to the Judicial Sale, or reputedly owned prior to the Judicial Sale, by Craig Corporation, and consisting of property situate in the Borough of Carlisle; Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and known as 0000 Croghan Drive, and may also be known as Lot 19, Block G, Meeting House Heights. The property had been previously exposed to upset sale in September of 1999, but no bid was received. 3. Although the property was exposed to judicial sale on July 28, 2000, it appears now that the property was improperly exposed to judicial sale. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-1a-1647-104) Page 1 L .~ ~- M1i! '4. . At the said sale no bid was received for the property. The Bureau, believing that the property was properly exposed to judicial sale, believed that the property thereafter automatically was placed in the category of "repository for unsold properties" pursuant to 72 P.S. S5860.626 (reproduced in part at paragraph 18 hereof) thus permitting a sale of the property by the Bureau without further court approval or advertisement pursuant to 72 P.S. S5860.627 (reproduced at paragraph 19 hereof). 5. The property was sold by the Bureau by private sale for $250.00 (plus transfer tax and recording costs), a price less than the total taxes due on the property, to William E. Love of 4500-1 Rocky Spring Road, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 17201, who paid said purchase price to the Tax Claim Bureau. A copy of a "bid" offer to purchase the property dated August 8, 2000, from William E. Love is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "A," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the acceptance of this bid by the Tax Claim Bureau by letter dated August 13, 2000 ;s attached hereto, marked Exhibit "B," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. A copy of the Tax Claim Bureau Deed dated October 13, 2000 is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "C," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto. Section 2. The June 9. 2000 Rule Returnable Hearina. 6. This action was initiated by Petition For Rule For Judicial Sale filed on March 10, 2000 to which a Rule to Show Cause was entered on March 15, 2000. The said Rule was returnable on June 9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 7. There were a total of fifteen properties from the 1999 upset tax sale for which Petitions for Judicial Sale were filed on March 10, 2000. Those fifteen cases Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 2 M' ~ - ~ -~ '--'';; .~" 15ii!I !Mr. " were filed to numbers 2000-1405 through 2000-1419. All 15 cases had the same Rule Returr1able date and time of June 9, 2000 at 1 :30 p.m. 8. At the Rule Returnable date and time each matter was considered separately, in the order of their file numbers, to wit beginning with No. 2000-1405 and ending with No. 2000-1419. 9. At the Rule Returnable date and time, for each of the 15 cases, the Bureau asked for one of three orders, to wit (i) A general continuance (if the Bureau continued to have difficulty obtaining service); (ii) An order fixing a sale date of July 28, 2000; and (Hi) A withdraw of the Petition if the taxes had been paid. 10. At the Rule Returnable date and time Stephen O. Tiley, Assistant Cumberland County Solicitor, counsel for the Bureau, kept notes of each case and the requested outcome, which was the outcome ordered in each case. A copy of those notes is attached hereto as Exhibit "0" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 11. In each of the 15 cases, at the Rule Returnable date and time, the Court entered an Order from the bench, which order was thereafter transcribed and signed by the Court. 12. While not all of the orders were transcribed correctly in said fifteen cases, your petitioner believes that in the above captioned matter the written order is correct. For all of the other cases, where corrective orders were required they have been obtained.

Exhibit "E" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference thereto is a summary of the 15 cases, the relief sought and ordered from the bench, the relief granted in the written orders, and the current status of the matter. 14. A copy of the Court's written order of June 9, 2000 is attached hereto as Exhibit "F." 3. Leaal Provisions For Private Sale 15. The Bureau can enter enter into a private sale in two instances, to wit: (i) After an unsuccessful upset sale, the Bureau can enter into a private sale upon notice to the public and to the taxing bodies, and (ii) After an unsuccessful judicial sale, the real estate can be sold by the Bureau with the consent of the taxing districts. 16. The last sentence of section 605 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. 35860.605) states: No upset sale may be continued beyond the end of the calendar year, and no property may be sold at private sale or judicial saie unless the property has first been exposed to upset sale and was not sold at upset sale. 17. Section 613(a) of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. 35860.613(a)) provides: At any time after any property has been exposed to public Sale and such property was not sold because no bid was made equal to the upset price, as hereinbefore provided, and whether or not proceedings are initiated pursuant to sections 610 through 612.1, [Sections 5860.610 to 5860.612-1J the bureau may, on its own motiOn, and shall, on the written instructions of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against said property, agree to sell the property at private sale, at, any price approved by the bureau. Notice of the proposed sale, stating the price and the property proposed to be soid, shall be given to each such taxing district and to the owner of the property. Notice shall also be given by publication at least two (2) times, with approximately ten (10) days intervening between each publication, in at least one (1) newspaper of general circulation published in the county where the property is located and in the official legal journal of that county, The notice by publication shall set forth the location of the property, the date and plqce of sale, the price and terms of sale, and Ihe Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 4 ,-~~~ , "' "_ nn_ " "'~-'. " provision that the property will be sold free and clear of all tax claims and tax judgments. The corporate authorities of any taxing district having any tax claims or tax judgments against the property which is to be sold, the owner, an interested party, or a person interested in purchasing the property may, if not satisfied that the sale price approved by the bureau is sufficient, within forty-five (45) days after notice of the proposed sale, petition the court of common pleas of the county to disapprove the sale. The court shall, in such case, after notice to each such taxing district, the owner, the bureau, the purchaser and any other person who has joined in the petition, hear all parties. After such hearing, the court may either confirm or disapprove Ihe sale as to it appears just and proper. If the sale is disapproved, the court shall at the same time fix a price below which such property shall not be sold and order that, if no private sale can be arranged, the property be sold at public judicial sale under this act If more than one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the court shall direct the bureau to conduct an auction-style bid of the property among the parties to the proceedings, If only one party agrees to pay the minimum price set by the court, the bureau shall sell the property to that party without the necessity of an auction, Footnote omitted- replaced by bracket reference. 18. Section 626 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. ~5860.626) provides, inter alia.: If, after conducting and exposing a property to a judicial sale under the provisions of this act. . . any property remains unsold, it shall be placed in a category to be termed "repository for unsold properties," 19. Section 627 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. ~5860.627) provides: (a) The bureau may, with the written consent of all the taxing districts where the property is located, accept an offer of any price for property placed in the "repository for unsold properties" without court approval and published notice of sale. Any taxing district may not unreasonably withhold its consenl to the sale of the property. (b) Theproperty shall be conveyed to the purchaser upon paymenl of the agreed price, free and dear of all tax arid municipal claims, mortgages, liens, and charges and estates of whatsoever kind, except ground rents separately taxed. It shall be the responsibility of the bureau to have the deed recorded at the expense of the purchaser. 20. A private sale pursuant to Section 613 is not freed and clear of any liens. A private sale pursuant to Section 627, after an unsuccessful judicial sale, is free and clear of liens except separately taxed ground rents. Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 5 - ~~ .. " IIllIIl'Ii\ili.L 21. It was represented to the purchaser of the property at the private sale (William E. love) that he was purchasing a property from the repository for unsold properties, and thus, freed and clear of liens except any separately taxed ground rents. 4. Relief Reauested. 22. A continuance was requested on June 9, 2000 because the Bureau did not have actual service of process upon Craig Corporation. See copy of Sheriff's Return attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and incorporated herein by reference thereto. 23. Although the Pennsylvania Department of State continues to maintain a record of Craig Corporation as a Pennsylvania corporation with a registered address at NW & Lincoln Streets, P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Craig Corporation has no Pennsylvania address at which it can be contacted. Stephen D. Tiley, counsel for the Tax Claim Bureau, contacted both Carlisle attorney James D. Flower who represented Craig Corporation at one time, and Mr. Robert Chilton who was a principal of Craig Corporation. When asked if they knew how service could be effected upon Craig Corporation each such individual referred Stephen D. Tiley to the other. Neither such individual knew of a means of contacting or serving Craig Corporation but both knew that the last office was in Florida and Robert Chilton recognized the name of a survivor corporation as Cutler Manufacturing Corporation. Robert Chilton indicated that he had wanted to purchase this lot from the corporation, contacted a party in Florida at one time, and they would not acknowledge that Craig Corporation was in existence nor that it had any assets in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Robert Chilton further advised that all offices in Pennsylvania had been closed for Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (Parcel No. 05-19-1647-104) Page 6 -"<"~;~' ~ -~ ~ ~ .. L_I~, " , many years and that the P.O. Box 446, Carlisle, address had not been active for at least '25 years. 24. Section 611 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law governs service of the rule returnable for a Judicial Sale and provides, inter alia.: . . , If service of the rule cannot be made in this Commonwealth, then the rule shall be served on the person named in the rule by the sheriff, by sending him, by registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, at least fifteen (15) days before the return day of the rule, a true and attested copy thereof, addressed to such person's last known post office address, The sheriff shall attach to his return, the return receipts, and if the person named in the rule has refused to accept the registered mail or cannot be found at his last known address, shall attach evidence thereof This shall constitute sufficient service under this act. (72 P.S. 95860.611) Emphasis Added. 25. Paragraph 5 of the Petition for Judicial Sale which initiated this action stated: The last known address of the owner of the property as set forth in the assessment records of Cumberland County is: c/o Cutler Mfg. Co, at Drawer M, Eaton Park, Florida 3840. Another address obtained by the Tax Claim Bureau is 5204 U,S. Highway 98 South, Lakeland, FL 33813-4203. 26. In the files of the Tax Claim Bureau there is a return envelope from: Cutler Manufacturing Corporation, 3240 Flightline Drive, Lakeland, Florida 33811- 2844. , 27. The Tax Claim Bureau is advised by the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue that their address for Craig Corporation is: P.O. Box Girard M, Eaton Park, FL 33840. 28. The Bureau believes, and therefore avers, that it now is able to obtain Nunc Pro Tunc Petition for Private Sale (ParceINo. 05-19-1647-104) Page 7 ",r " ....,~- ~" ""~ .-', - ~ '- ~-'i " '\ , Service upon the Craig Corporation through one of the above addresses and that if it does'the Cr.aig Corporation will not object to the Judicial Sale or a confirmation of the private sale to William E. Love. 29. All other respondents to the original Rule To Show Cause returnable June 9, 2000, including the Bureau of Compliance of the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue concerning a corporate tax lien, were properly served with the Rule and none appeared at the Rule Returnable date nor did any file any response with the Court. 30. Therefore the Bureau believes that the only party now potentially interested in this matter is the Craig Corporation and that a Rule to Show cause why a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicia' Sale (ordering sale on July 28, 2000) and Confirmation of Private Sale will resolve this matter. WHEREFORE, Petitioner, the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau, prays your honorable Court for a rule upon the Respondent, Craig Corporation, to show cause why the Court should not enter a Nunc Pro Tunc Order for Judicial Sale, dated June 9, 2000 and ordering sale on July 28, 2000, and why the Court should not enter an order confirming the private sale to William E.
