RE: Christopher Brady vs. Tammy Jo Brady
No. 97 - 1279 civil

Lemoyne, PA 17043
Dear Ms. Sunday and Ms. Brady:
By order of Court of President Judge Harold E. Sheely
dated December 8, 1997, the full-time Master has been appointed
in the above referenced divorce proceedings.
A divorce complaint ....as filed on March 12, 1997, raising
grounda for divorce of irretrievable breakdown of the marriage.
No economic claims were raised in the complaint.
On November 21, 1997, the Plaintiff filed a petition to
amend the complaint in order to raise the economic claim of
equitable distribution.
I am unable to determine from the pleadings if there is
any iasue ....ith respect to grounds for divorce; however, I am
going to proceed on the basis that either the parties will sign
affidavita of consent or the parties have been separated for a
period in excess of two years.
It is my understanding that Tammy Jo Brady is not
represented by counsel; however, if Ms. Brady obtains counsel,
her counsel should be in contact with my office immediately.
In accordance with P.R.C.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing
attorney Dawn Sunday, who represents the Plaintiff, and Tammy Jo
Brady, who apparently represents herself, to each file a
pre-trial statement on or before Friday, January 9, 1998. Upon
