I
,.
further answer, CoreStates has been informed by Drs, Reedy and
Beaudry that a commitment to finance Dr. Beaudry's purchase of

two doctors. The litigation would continue without any
resolution of the overall problem thereby jeopardizing

28, The responses set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 27
above are incorporated herein by reference.
29, (A) Denied. Denied as a legal conc::'~lsion, By
way of further answer, the Guaranty does not require ar; event of
default as a condition precedent to entering judgment by
confession against the Beaudrys. In any event, Paragraph 7 of
the Complaint specifically states that the Beaudrys are in
default for nonpayment, In addition, the Beaudrys admit the
default in Paragraphs 16 and 20 of their petition by averring
that the Loan had matured and was due and payable in full on

L.
June 30, 1997 and that the Partnership has not made any payments

on the Loan after June 30, 1997. Furthermore, this averment,
even if true, is insufficient to strike a judgment,
(B) Admitted in part; denied in part, Admitted
CoreStates has not taken any action against the Partnership. By
way of further answer, an action against the Partnership would
have a significant detrimental effect on Dr, Beaudry's practice.
Denied that CoreStates is obligated to take action against the
Partnership before taking action against the Beaudrys, To the
contrary, the Guaranty executed by the Beaudrys specifically
permits CoreStates to take action against the Beaudrys without
taking prior action against "any person or persons, including the
Principal Debtor (the Partnership)." See Paragraph 4 of the
Guaranty attached as Exhibit "B" to the Complaint filed in this
matter, Furthermore, this averment, even if true, is
insufficient to strike judgment.
(C) Denied as a legal conclusion. Denied
CoreStates is required to comply with the Interest Act of 1974,
To the contrary, the Interest Act of 1974 relates solely to
residential mortgage interest rates and is irrelevant to this
matter. Furthermore, this averment, even if true, is
insufficient to strike judgment.
(D) Denied as a legal conclusion. Further denied
that CoreStates "required" Mrs, Beaudry to execute the Guaranty.
To the contrary, Mrs, Beaudry offered her guaranty to CoreStates

averment, even if true, is insufficient to strike judgment,

the Consent Decree is binding in any way upon CoreStates.

30. The responses to Paragraphs 28 and 29 are
incorporated herein by reference,
31, Denied as a legal conclusion.
(A) Denied. The Beaudrys admit in Paragraphs 16
and 20 of their petition that they have not made payments to
CoreStates and that the Loan was due and payable in full on
June 30, 1997, Any claim by the Beaudrys that they are not in
default is misleading and disingenuous,
(B) Admitted in part; denied in part, Admitted
that the Beaudrys have not made any payments to CoreStates, As
state above, the Beaudrys admit they have not made payments
towards the Loan. As to the Consent Decree, CoreStates, after a
reasonable investigation, is without knowledge sufficient to form
a belief as to the truth of the averment, By way of further
answer, the Consent Decree is irrelevant to this matter.

CoreStates is without knowledge sufficient to form a belief as to

the dispute and allegations between Drs, Reedy and Beaudry, By
way of further answer, the Beaudrys did not take all actions
available to them to avoid a default by the Partnership, The
Beaudrys could have attempted to obtain alternative financing but
failed to do so or they could have requested that the Court of
Common Pleas of Dauphin County permit them to make payments
directly to CoreStates,
31. (sic), Denied as a legal conclusion. By way of
further answer, CoreStates offered to extend the maturity date of
the Loan; however, Drs. Reedy and Beaudry were unwilling to
execute the appropriate documents. The adversarial proceedings
between Drs, Reedy and Beaudry do not, and should not, involv~
CoreStates, and cannot affect CoreStates' contractual rights
against the Beaudrys.
32, Denied as a legal conclusion, By way of further
answer, the Beaudrys' averment is too general to provide a more
specific response.
33. Denied as a legal conclusion, Contrary to the
Beaudrys' averment, Mrs. Beaudry received significant benefit
from the execution of the Guaranty, In addition, her execution
of the Guaranty, along with other loan documents, evidences her
knowledge of the Loan and her acknowledgment of CoreStates' right
to have judgment entered by confession against her,
Specifically, Mrs. Beaudry executed a document titled "Disclosure
RDO/50050101~]O.145
9
for Confession of Judgment" which declared her knowledge of the
Warrant of Attorney to confess judgment,
34, Denied, After reasonable investigation,
CoreStates is without knowledge sufficient to form a belief as to
the truth of this averment, which is therefore denied. By way of
further answer, the Consent Decree and the proceedings between
Drs, Reedy and Beaudry are irrelevant to this matter.
35, Denied. The Beaudrys admit in Paragraphs 16, 20
and 31(B) that payments have not been made to CoreStates pursuant
to the contractual obligations of the Partnership and the
Beaudrys to CoreStates, Whether such default was caused by the
Beaudrys or Dr. Reedy is irrelevant to this matter,
WHEREFORE, CoreStates Bank requests this Court to deny
the Beaudrys' petition to Open and Strike Judgment,

CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT
Defendant
PETITION OF ROBERT J, BEAUDRY AND SUSAN W, BEAUDRY TO OPEN AND
STRIKE JUDGMENT ENTERED BY CONFESSION
AND NOW come the above.named Defendants, by their attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
pursuant to PA. R.C.P. 2959, petitions this Court to strike or, in the alternative, to open the
judgment entered against them in the above-captioned matter, based upon the following:
PARTIES
I. The Petitioners herein are Robert J. Beaudry and Susan W. Beaudry, adult individuals
who reside at 135 Bryce Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Petitioners are the
Defendants in this action.
2. The Respondent herein is Core States Bank, N.A., a National Banking Association which
. maintains offices at 600 Penn Street, Reading, Pennsylvania. The Respondent is the Plaintiff in
this action.
3. The Plaintiff commenced this action by filing its Complaint for Confession of Judgment,
and causing the Prothonotary to enter judgment against the Defendants by confession, for
$147,817.54, on 22 October 1997.
4. The Defendants file this petition to strike or, in the alternative, open the judgment
entered by confession against them by the Plaintiff.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
S. Defendant, Robert J. Beaudry Jr., ("Robert") is, and has been for all times relevant to this
matter, an oral surgeon. From the mid.1980s until 28 February 1996, Robert was a stockholder in
and was employed by Miller Oral Surgery, Inc., ("MaS") a Corporation which practiced oral
surgery in Central Pennsylvania.
6. From approximately 1990 until 28 February 1996, the only other stockholder in MaS
was Michael T. Reedy ("Reedy"). Reedy is also an oral surgeon.
7. From the mid.1980s until 28 February 1996, Miller Oral Surgery operated two offices at
which its employees practiced oral surgery. . Those offices were:
A. The East Shore Office located at 400 Nationwide Drive in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, at which Reedy primarily practiced; ("East Shore Office") and
B. The West Shore Office at 3600 Old Gettysburg Road in Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania, at which Robert primarily practiced ("West Shore Office").
8. Robert and Reedy formed a partnership to own the real estate and office buildings at
which MOS operated its offices. The partnership was named Susquehanna Valley Associates
("SV A") and was owned in equal shares by Robert and Reedy.
9. In April of 1992, SV A borrowed $202,000.00 from Plaintiff to finance and pay various
expenses incurred by SVA in the ownership and operation of its real estate holdings. To provide
security to Plaintiff for that loan, SV A gave Plaintiff a mortgage on the West Shore Office owned
by SV A and caused Robert and Reedy, and their respective wives, to guarantee the obligation of
SVA.
10. Commencing in early 1992, various disputes arose between Robert and Reedy over the
, ownership, management, and distribution of benefits from MOS and S VA. As a result of those
! disputes, a series of legal actions were commenced between Robert and Reedy before an arbitration
i' panel appointed by the American Arbitration Association, the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin
'.
t' County, Pennsylvania, and this Court. Various portions of that litigation proceeded through those
I
ii
i! Courts, into and through the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, and to the Supreme Court of
I,
Ii
ii Pennsylvania.
I'
i ~
Ii 11. In February of 1996, in response to various actions filed by Robert and Reedy,
"
Ii including an action to dissolve MOS, the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County,
I
Ii Pennsylvania, by the Honorable Lawrence Clark, with the consent and joinder of Robert and
'i
Ii Reedy, entered a Consent Decree. That Consent Decree, Lnter alia, provided as follows:
I'
i: A. That the practices of Robert and Reedy would be separated so that Robert
I'
i.
i: would practice exclusively at the West Shore Office and Reedy would practice at the
Ii
!i East Shore Office; and
i
,!
I' B. That the various assets ofMOS would be valued and distributed between
II
II
I. Robert and Reedy and that any disparity in the value of assets so distributed, would
,.
be made up by a cash payment from one to the other; and
-
C. That the assets and liabilities of SV A would be valued and distributed
between Rohert and Reedy and any disparity in the net value of the assets so
distributed would be adjusted by a cash payment from one to the other; and
D. That a Special Master was appointed by the said Court for purposes of
supervising, controlling, and completing the division and distribution of the assets and
ownership of MaS and SV A; and
E. That all future disputes involving Robert and Reedy related to MaS or
SV A would be brought before the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania, for resolution and that all pending actions, before that Court and before
this Court, would be consolidated into the Dauphin County action in which the
Consent Decree was entered.
12. The process required by the said Consent Decree has been long, complicated, and
difficult and is not yet completed. The process continues, however, with the Special Master and
under the supervision of the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania.
13. The Consent Decree required Robert to pay to SVA monthly rental for his occupancy
and use of tile West Shore Office. The original amount of rent provided in the Consent Decree was
modified by the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania in Mareh of 1997 to
increase the rent paid by ~vbert by an amount equal to the monthly payment due from SVA to
Plaintiff on the loan on which the Plaintiff has now confessed judgment.
-
14. Robert paid all rental payments required by the Consent Decree, as modified, from
March of 1996 through September of 1997.
I S. In March of 1997, the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania,
modified and increased the rent to be paid by Robert to SV A by an amount approximately equal to
the amount of the monthly payment due from SV A to Plaintiff on the loan and obligation on which
the Plaintiff has confessed judgment in this action.
16. The Note owed by SV A to Plaintiff came due on or about 30 June 1997. Prior to that
, date, Robert had discussions with the Plaintiff regarding the extension of the tenn of that loan so
that the loan obligation would continue until the distribution of the assets and liabilities of SV A
i was completed and Robert would own the West Shore Office building in his own name so that he
could use that real estate as security for a new loan to borrow the funds necessary to pay the debt
owed to Plaintiff.
17. Plaintiff was willing to extend the term of the loan as requested by Robert and
described in the proceeding P"ragraph, but required a document to be signed by Robert and Reedy
acknowledging that such an extension would not relax the Plaintiffs rights under the loan
documents.
18. Reedy refused to sign the document as requested by Plaintiff.
19. Since the entry of the Consent Decree, and for several years prior to that date, Reedy
has been in exclusive control of the income, funds, bank accounts, and other financial assets of
~
D. The judgment should be stricken as to Susan because the guarantee
i: document is not enforceabll; against her because she received no consideration for
executing such document, was not a party to the debt which was guaranteed, and
because requiring her to execute the guarantee violated the law.
E. Because of the Consent Decree entered by the Court of Common Pleas of
:: Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, this Court is without proper jurisdiction to entertain this

PETITION TO OPEN
30. The averments set out in Paragraphs I through 28 hereinabove are incorporated herein
A. The Defendants have made all payments due by them pursuant to the
agreements and arrangements between Plaintiff, SV A, Defendants, and Michael T.
Reedy and his wife, and are not in default of any of their obligations under those
understandings or agreements.
,.
i;
"

B. Defendants have been compelled to make rental payments to SVA by the
Consent Decree entered by the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County,
Ii
Pennsylvania, and, as a result, have not been able to make installments payments to
,
,
the Plaintiff on the obligation in which the Plaintiff has now entered judgment.
-
SV A and has excluded Robert fro.1l any participation in the use or control of such items or access
to information about Reedy's use of such items.
20. Robert believes, and therefore avers that, after June of 1997, Reedy caused SV A to
,.
! cease making payments to Plaintiff on the debt on which Plaintiff has now confessed judgment in
this action.
21. Since June of 1997, Robert has paid rent to SVA in accordance with the Order of the
Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, with the expectation that the funds Robert paid to
SV A would be used to pay the monthly installments due on the debt to Plaintiff.
22. Plaintiff has assigned the loan on which it has now confessedjudgrnent in this action to
its collection department and referred the collection of that debt to its attorneys. As a result,
Plaintiff has refused to entertain an application for new financing by Robert and, as a result of that
refusal, Robert has not been able to obtain the financing he needs to himself pay the debt owed to
Plaintiff.
23. The entry of judgment against the Defendant in this matter has impaired Robert's ability
to obtain financing from another source to raise the funds necessary to pay the debt owed to
Plaintiff.
24. Susan W. Beaudry ("Susan") was never a stockholder in Miller Oral Surgery.
25. Susan was never a partner in, and never owned any interest in, SV A.
II
i
I
.
.-
C. Any default in the obligations owed to Plaintiff by SVA or any of the
Defendants have been caused hy Reedy and his misapplication of the rental payrnents
made by Defendants, and other tenants, to S V A. Defendants have taken all actions
reasonably availablc to them to avoid a default by SV A but have been prevented from
taking further action by Reedy and the Consent Decree.
31. Plaintiff, by its own conduct, has prevented Defendants, and specifically, Robert, from
arranging adequate financing to pay the debt owed to Plaintiff on which Plaintiff has confessed
judgment in this action. As a result of Plaintifrs own conduct, it is estopped from taking the action
it has taken against Defendants and it has waived its rights to take such enforcement action.
32. Plaintiff has failed to com;:ly with the requirements of Pennsylvania Law regarding the
entry of judgment against Defendants' family residence and the judgment should be opened until
such time as Plaintiff has fully cornplied with such requirements.
33. The judgment as to Susan should be opened because her execution of the guarantee on
which this judgment has been confessed was unlawful in that she received no consideration or
benefit from the execution of that guarantee, she was not a party to and did not have notice of the
nature of the debt which she guaranteed and she had no interest in the business transaction which
she guaranteed.
34. Defendants are willing and able to take whatever steps arc reasonably required to
satisfy the obligation owed to Plaintiff when the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania, in accordance with its Consent Decree, distlibutcs the assets of SV A so that Robert
.-
receives title to the West Shore Office and has the real estate he needs to post as security for a new
loan with which to pay the debt owed to Plaintiff.
35. Defendants have not defaulted in their obligations to Plaintiff. Any default in the
obligation of SV A has been caused by parties other than the Defendants, specifically including
Reedy.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Robert J. Beaudry and Susan W. Beaudry pray this Court to:
A. Strike the judgment entered against them in this matter; or in the
alternative,
B. Open the judgment entered against them in this rnatter and allow them to
enter their defenses to the claim by Plaintiff.
