IN RE: TAX SALE OF 2000 UNDER THE REAL ESTATE TAX SALE LAW;: PROPERTY OF NORWEST BANK MINNESOTA NA TRS. IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA NO. 2000-7125 Civil TAX PARCEL NO.: 22-10-0644-078 PETITION FOR CONFIRMATION OF DISTRIBUTION AND NOW, comes the Petition, Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau, by Stephen D. Tiley, Esquire, Assistant Cumberland County Solicitor, and files this Petition for Confirmation of Distribution of which the following is a statement: 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 Petition for Confirmation of Distribution concerns a parcel of real estate which was successfully sold at Upset Tax Sale held on September 28, 2000, which was Tax Parcel No. 22-10-0644-078, and which was owned prior to the said Upset Tax Sale, or reputedly owned prior to the said Upset Tax Sale, by The Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. as Trustee of Amresco Residential Securities Corporation Mortgage Loan Trust 1998-2 Under The Pooling and Servicing Agreement Dated as of June 1, 1998 Without Recourse, assignee of Ameriquest Mortgage Company. (Hereinafter referred to as "Norwest Banko") The property was acquired by the said Norwest Bank by deed from the Cumberland County Sheriff dated March 15, 2000 and recorded March 21, 2000 in the Office of the Recorder of Deeds in and for Cumberland County, at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in Deed Book 217, Page 1013, which deed is incorporated herein by reference hereto as if fully set forth herein and which deed is referred to herein as the "Sheriff's Deed." Tax Parcel No, 22-10-0644-078 Petition For Confirmation Of Distribution Page 1 of 7 ,0- '" I .-:i:.J, 3, Pursuant to petition by the Bureau on October 18th the Court entered a Confirmation Nisi concerning the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau Upset Tax Sale held on September 28, 2000. No Objections having been filed concerning the property owned by Norwest Bank a Praecipe for Decree of Absolute Confirmation was filed on November 30, 2000, concerning the property of Norwest Bank which is the subject of this Petition. 4. The said property of Norwest Bank referred to as Cumberland County Tax Parcel No. 22-10-0644-078 is also known as 250 Oak Grove Road, Mechanicsburg (Monroe Township), Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Prior to being owned by the said Norwest Bank pursuant to said Sheriff's Deed the property was owned or reputedly owned by, Charles L. Noel and Pamela L. Noel. 5, The property was purchased at the said September 28, 2000 Upset Tax Sale by David A. Krulac and Diane E. Krulac of P.O. Box 1064, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055 for $30,000.00 plus transfer taxes and recording fees for a total of $33,937,13, 6. The funds available for distribution from the said Upset Tax Sale for this property are, therefore, $30,000.00, 7. The Upset Sale price for this property was $2,071,04. The total amount due the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau for delinquent and current taxes to the date of sale and for all interest, costs and fees, is $7,695.58, 8, The amount available for distribution to lien holders and/or the owner is , therefore, $22,304.42. ($30,000.00 minus $7,695.58) 9, Distribution of sale proceeds by the Bureau is controlled by 72 P,S, ~5860.205(d) according to the following priority: (1) First, to the Commonwealth, by payment to the State Treasurer through the Department of Revenue, for satisfaction of tax liens of the Commonwealth only if the total amount of such liens or such portion thereof have been included in the purchase price and paid by the purchaser or the property is sold at judicial sale pursuant to this act. Tax Parcel No. 22-10-0644-078 Petition For Confirmation Of Distribution Page 20f 7 , . "" '-, " !lit.dA'^' (2) Second, to the respective taxing districts in proportion to the taxes due them, (3) Third, to taxing districts or municipal authorities for satisfaction of municipal, claims, (4) Fourth, to mortgagees and other lien holders, in order of their priority, for satisfaction of mortgages and liens as they may appear of record, whether or not discharged by the sale, (5) Fifth, to the owner of the property, 10, Section 205(e) of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law (72 P.S. 95860.101 et. seq,) provides as follows: Prior to the actual distribution required by subsection (d), the bureau shall petition the court of common pleas for a confirmation of distribution, The petition shall set forth a proposed schedule of distribution for each account and shall request the court to issue a rule to show cause on each distributee why the court should not confirm the distribution as proposed, The rule to show cause and a copy of the petition shall be served by first class mail upon each distributee and upon the purchaser, with proof of mailing to the last residence or place of business of the distributee known to the bureau and to the purchaser at the address given to the bureau. If the rule to show cause is not returned by any distributee orpurchaser on or before the time set for its return. the court shall forthwith confirm the distribution absolutely, If any distributee or purchaser makes a return of the rule within the time set by the court. the court shall forthwith hear any objections and exceptions to the proposed distribution and thereafter adjust the schedule of distribution as it deems just and equitable according to law and confirm the distribution absolutely as adjusted. An absolute confirmation of distribution by the court shall be final and nonappealable with respect to all distributees listed in the petition. 11, It is unclear whether or not. Norwest Bank is entitled to the remaining sale proceeds as the previous holder of a first mortgage, or whether Norwest Bank is entitled to the sale proceeds as the record owner at the time of sale, or whether certain junior lien holders as of the time of sale are entitled to distribution of the excess sale proceeds. 12. Norwest Bank brought an action in mortgage foreclosure against Charles L. Noel and Pamela E. Noel filed to Cumberland County No. 1999- 04385. Tax Parcel No, 22-10-0644-078 Petition For Confirmation Of Distribution Page 3 of 7 '. ,~ ',I, .:1 " ';-_._c; ~-Olli 13. Pursuant to said mortgage foreclosure action a Sheriff's sale of the property was held on March 1, 2000 at which time Norwest Bank was the high bidder and took the property. 14. Pursuant to said Sheriff's sale the aforementioned Sheriff's Deed was executed and recorded. 15, A Sheriff's sale and deed would extinguish the lien of junior liens, However, the said Sheriff's Deed contains a Realty Transfer Tax Statement of Value claiming an exemption from transfer tax as a transfer from a Mortgagorto the holder of the mortgage in default and stating "The Grantee is receiving this property in lieu of mortgage foreclosure, it is exempt from transfer tax." A deed in lieu of mortgage foreclosure does not extinguish junior liens, 16. Although the said Statement of Value represents that the deed is from the Mortgagor, the only signer on the Sheriff's Deed is the Cumberland County Sheriff. 17, Absent an express statement of intent of the parties to the deed, it is unclear whether or not a deed in lieu of foreclosure is intended to extinguish the lien of the mortgage which is the subject of the underlying foreclosure action. If, therefore, the said Sheriff's Deed was in fact a deed in lieu of foreclosure it is unclear whether or not the first mortgage was extinguished, If, on the other hand, the said Sheriff's Deed is in fact a Sheriff's Deed then the lien of the underlying first mortgage which was the subject of the foreclosure action which caused the Sheriff's sale should be extinguished. 18. After the Upset Tax Sale of September 28, 2000 there was a Motion filed on October 10, 2000 by Norwest Bank to open the Sheriff's Sale and "re- sell the foreclosed real estate." By Order of Court dated October 12, 2000 and amended on October 23, 2000, the Sheriff's sale of the subject property of March 1, 2000 was set aside for the purpose of notice to junior lien holders and the opportunity for them to bid on the property. The record in said mortgage Tax Parcel No. 22-10-0644-078 Petition For Confirmation Of Distribution Page 4 of 7 "0 '" . < , 'I ~ ~ itI1 foreclosure action ends with an Affidavit No Bids filed by counsel for Norwest Bank on December 11, 2000 thereby presumably making the said Sheriff Sale absolute and the said Sheriff's Deed confirmed and thereby confirming that the property was in fact owned by Norwest Bank at the time of the September 28, 2000 Upset Tax Sale. 19. At the time of the September 28,2000 Upset Tax Sale the subject property was the property of, or reputedly of, Norwest Bank and Norwest Bank was properly notified of said sale. 20. The Bureau believes, and therefore avers, that the subject property was owned by Norwest Bank at the time of the September 28, 2000 Upset Tax Sale and that the Sheriff's Deed by which Norwest Bank acquired the property was, in fact, a Sheriff's deed and not a deed in lieu of foreclosure and therefore the first mortgage lien and all of junior liens were extinguished. Therefore, the Bureau believes the net proceeds of sale are properly payable to Norwest Bank as the prior owner pursuant to 72 P.S. 95860-205(d)(5). However, the Bureau lists known junior lien holders as receiving zero proceeds from sale and intends to notify them as junior lien holders in order to confirm that the Bureau is properly ordered to make distribution of the net proceeds to Norwest Bank, 21. The Bureau's schedule of distribution of the proceeds of the sale of this property is as follows: Funds Available for Distribution $30,000.00 Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau for delinquent and current taxes to sale date for County, Monroe Township and Mechanicsburg Area School District taxes Norwest Bank as Mortgage holder $ 7,695,58 -0- Norwest Consumer Discount Company Mortgage dated January 13, 1998 Mortgage recorded January 27, 1998 Tax Parcel No. 22-10-0644-078 Petition For Confirmation Of Distribution Page 5 of 7 ,"-, '''.'',-,'' "'I ~ ;; Mortgage Book 1428, Page 608 Amount $11,859.14 -0- Village Consumer Discount Company Against Charles A.

The Property at issue in this matter is located on Carlisle Pike, Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, with a tax parcel number of 38-07-0463-012 (hereinafter, the "Property"). 2. The owner and taxpayer ofthe Property at the time ofthe sale was Mr. Stephen G. Rogers ("Rogers"), an adult individual, with a residence in 1070 Belle Meade Island Drive, Miami, Florida. 3. The Petitioner is St. Stephen Evangelical Lutheran Church ("St. Stephen Church"), and is a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation with an address of30 West Main Street, New Kingstown, Pennsylvania 17072. 4. The Purchasers of the Property at the tax sale are Michael J. Higgens and Lynne D. Pickens (collectively, "Higgens"), with a residence at RR #1, Box 540, Landisburg, P A 17040. 5. St. Stephen Church has standing to bring this Petition by virtue of its purchase of a substantial portion of the Property from Rogers on or about October 9, 2000. 6. Petitioner avers that the names and addresses of all interested parties are as follows: (a) Stephen G. Rogers 1070 Belle Meade Island Drive Miami, FL 33138 I. 1l:ll&l1" ~ .-' i ~ , . (b) MichaelJ. Higgens & Lynne D. Pickens RR#1,Box540 Landisburg, P A 17040 , (c) Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau Old Courthouse One Courthouse Square Carlisle, P A 17013 (d) St. Stephen Evangelical Lutheran Church 30 West Main Street New Kingstown, P A 17072 7. Unbeknownst to Rogers and St. Stephen Church, the Property was subject to a tax sale by the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau on September 28, 2000, when it was knocked down and sold to Higgens. 8. Upon reasonable investigation, St. Stephen Church believes, and therefore avers, that the procedure and notices required for this upset tax sale were defective and not properly performed or conducted. Specifically, it avers: a. The Tax Claim Bureau failed to provide notice and notification of the tax sale to Rogers at his residence in 1070 Belle Meade Island Drive, Miami, Florida, prior to the upset sale; b. The Property is physically divided in half by Carlisle Pike (S.R. 11) and no posting of the Property was done on the side or in the area of Carlisle Pike which was investigated and purchased by St. Stephen Church from Rogers; c. The Tax Claim Bureau failed to properly post the Property with notice of the sale, thereby depriving Rogers, St. Stephen Church and the general public of proper notice and the date of notification of the possible sale of the Property; d. Rogers, in fact, did not receive actual notice of the sale as the return receipt cards, dated June 12, 1999 and July 27,2000, and which require and are marked for restricted delivery, were not signed by him or on his behalf; , . -'-""~ ", "'" e. The post-sale notice, dated September 29, 2000, improperly states the Property is located in Monroe Township; f. The post-sale notice, dated September 29, 2000, improperly states the Property consisted of less than one acre of land; g. The first possible notice to Rogers, even though such notice was defective, was October 13, 2000, which is a date subsequent to his sale of the Property to St. Stephen Church; h. The purchase price paid by Purchasers reflects a gross inequity and inaccurate valuation of the entire property's market value and price. 9. The upset tax sale of the Property was substantially defective and deprives Rogers and St. Stephen Church of legally and constitutionally protected property rights and privileges. 10. In light of the foregoing, said upset tax sale for this Property should be set aside and vacated as a nullity. 11. In light of the foregoing, St. Stephen avers that said upset tax sale for this Property was improperly conducted pursuant to the Upset Sale provisions ofn P.S. Section 5860.601 et seq., and said sale for this Property must be vacated by this Honorable Court. WHEREFORE, St. Stephen Church, the Petitioner herein, respectfully requests this Honorable Court to vacate, overturn and set aside the tax sale, dated September 28, 2000, regarding the Property at tax parcel number 38-07 -0463-012 in Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

AS AMENDED TO THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF THE SAID COURT: AND NOW, this i,3/fJ day of November, 2000, the Property Owner, Stephen G. Rogers of Miami, Florida, by his attorneys, RHOADS & SINON LLP, appears and asks the Court to t deny confirmation of and to set aside a Real Estate Upset Tax Sale of a parcel of real estate by the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau dated September 28, 2000, for the following reasons: 1. Real Estate Tax parcel 38-07-0463-012 knocked down at the sale is a 6.H acre, undeveloped, vacant parcel of grassy real estate now divided by and located on both sides of the 160' wide right of way of the new, high speed, westbound bypass of U.S. Route 11 (S.R. 011) 363345.1 ~ - , ,~ , ~ -", , ' . known locally as "the Carlisle Pike," in New Kingston, Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, a copy of a recent plan of which is attached as Exhibit "A" and, by this reference, made part hereof (the "Property"). 2. The Property Owner, the sole individual owner of the Property, left Central Pennsylvania in 1983 and in 1987, in Florida, became the Administrator of Radiology Services at Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami, Florida. Property Owner recently moved from downtown Miami to his new residence at 1070 Belle Meade Island Drive, Miami, Florida 33138. 3. Unbeknownst to the Property Owner, the Property was exposed to an upset real estate tax sale by the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau (the "Bureau") on September 28, 2000 and a bid equal to the "upset price" was made on the said Property and the Property was "knocked off' for sale to a bidder for approximately $3,206.12 to Michael J. Higgins and Lynne D. Pickens of Landis burg, Pennsylvania, a copy of the Bureau's receipt being attached as Exhibit "B" and, by this reference, made part hereof. 4. Property Owner had no actual knowledge of the pending real estate tax upset sale. 5. Further, written notice of the upcoming real estate tax upset sale was not properly served under the Real Estate Tax Sale Law and thus the real estate tax upset s~le was not "regularly conducted" because apparently due to his residential move, and the vagaries of "certified mail," the Property Owner failed to receive proper mailed and certified written notice I of the upset real estate tax sale. For example, the statutory notice form I allegedly delivered on I June 12, 1999 (furnished by the Bureau) contained a warning that the real estate taxes therein I -2- " '~ t: ,) ." shown to be due could be paid up to or before "July 1,2001" which arguably suggests that all real estate taxes on the parcel did not have to be paid until that date. A copy of the notice is attached as Exhibit "en and, by this reference, made part hereof. 6. No agreement pertaining to the payment of real estate taxes was ever proposed or entered into by either the Property Owner or the Bureau or otherwise. 7. Further, the statutory written notice of the sale was not properly posted on the Property. No evidence of posting can be found on the Property. The Property Owner received no actual notice of any posting of the statutory notice of the scheduled real estate upset tax sale of the Property. At or before the upset tax sale, the Property Owner had no knowledge that his Property was or had been posted. (a) The posting, if any, may have actually been on another neighboring lot (the boundary line is not well delineated) or within the PennDOT right of way. Further, the Deputy may have posted, if at all, the 3.54:1: acre northern part of the Property to the north of Route 11 in what looks like other peoples' front yards which notice would not appear to extend to the rest of the Property or part of the parcel across the highway. (b) No return is made as to the 2.69:1: acre, grassy, low southern part of the Property to the south of the 160' wide PennDOT legal right of way. In any case, any posted written notice, if any, did not notify either the public at large, neighbors, the Property Owner or any other interested parties of the upcoming upset tax sale as required by law and fundamental due process. - 3- . ." ":-1 . ""'~ '~-,,;; ~ . . .. (c) The Property Owner believes that the partial copy of the tax map given to the Deputy for her use in posting the Property is almost wholly without locational reference, the Property appears to float behind other parcels, see Exhibit "D" attached hereto and, by this reference, made part hereof, the new Route 11 bypass of New Kingston is not shown, and the Property is all partially mowed undeveloped land with no building containing an address, for any of which reasons, the written statutory notice was probably not posted either accurately or visibly to the high speed westbound traffic or anyone else. 8. Further, the Sheriff's Return is flawed, irregular or defective in that the return was made and sworn to after the date of the upset sale by the Sheriff and further, not sworn to by the Deputy who attempted to post the Property, a copy of the Return - Not Served being attached hereto as Exhibit "E" and, by this reference, made part hereof. 9. The post-sale notice, dated September 29, 2000, improperly states Property Owner's Property resided in Monroe Township. 10. The post-sale notice, dated September 29, 2000, improperly states Property Owner's Property consisted ofless than one acre ofland. 11. In light of the foregoing, the Cumberland County Tax Bureau failed to properly notifY and inform Property Owner or to post the Property, thus Property Owner was not properly served as required under the Upset Sale provisions ofthe Real Estate Sale Law, 72 P.S. Section 5860.308, 607 et seq. - 4- '-'- , . ~ '> ~-"" "~.'R(~ " , ' . ," .. 12. Given the nominal consideration (upset price) paid at the real estate tax upset sale relative to the fair market value of the Property, for the Court to confirm the sale under the Real Estate Sale Law would be to unconstitutionally order a taking of private real property without just compensation by state action in violation of Article I, Section 10 of the Pennsylvania Constitution and the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. WHEREFORE, Property Owner respectfully requests this Honorable Court to deny confirmation of said sale and further to set aside the upset sale of the subject Property, 1) for the Bureau's failure to make the statutory written notice of the upset tax sale of September 28, 2000 as required for good service clear to the Property Owner; 2) for its failure to properly post the statutory notice on the Property as required for good service; and 3) for its failure to make a timely presale return of service to the Bureau as required by administrative due process and such other good causes as are demonstrated and proven at the hearing on same, all regarding his Property at tax parcel number 38-07-0463-012 in Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

Admitted, 2. Admitted. By way of further answer the address as disclosed by the public records for the owner of the Property was 14951 South West 239th Street, Homestead, Florida 33032 until changed in 1999 to 1070 Belle Meade Island Drive, Miami, Florida 33138. The Notice of Return and Claim was sent May 21, 1999 to Stephen G, Rogers at the Homestead Florida address. That mailing was returned undeliverable by the post office with indication that the forwarding address of Stephen G.

Rogers had been made aware of the pending sale by Notice of Public Tax Sale as described in paragraph 8a of this Answer and had been notified by various other means of a pending sale, The Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau has no knowledge as to the knowledge or information of the St. Stephen Church concerning the pending tax sale, Strict proofs that trial demand, By way of further answer the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau believes, and therefore avers, that St. Stephen Evangelical Lutheran Church was aware that delinquent taxes were owed and that therefore was aware that the property would be "subject to a tax sale," as an attorney believed by the Bureau to be representing the Church came into the Bureau within a day, or a few days, after the tax sale on September 28, 2000 and presented a pre-prepared check for the payment of the delinquent taxes. That attorney was informed at that time that the property had been sold on September 28, 2000. By way of further answer, the Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau sends out a reminder notice to all delinquent tax payers in January of each year, including January of the year 2000. This notice is in addition to the notices required by statute, This reminder notice is sent by regular, first class U,S. mail. A copy of the language of this notice is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "C," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto as if fully set forth therein. The envelope was not returned by the post office. 8. Denied. To the extent that the averments of paragraph 8 and its sub-lettered paragraph set forth conclusions of law those averments are denied and no responsive pleading is required. By way of further answer, the Bureau believes, therefore avers, that the proper statutory procedures and notices for the upset tax sale were given and specifically responds as follows: Bureau Answer to St. Stephen Objections Page 2 of 5 ,~ ~ .-L__'c I"", , < ~. U' ~,j " a, Denied, The Bureau did give notice of the pending tax sale to Rogers at his residence at 1070 Belle Meade Island Drive, Miami, Florida 33138, A copy of a blank form of the Notice of Public Tax Sale, and a copy of the computer printout duplicate sheet for this notice are attached hereto, marked Exhibit "D," and incorporated herein by reference thereto. Individual notices are computer prepared with the information from the duplicate, Rogers received this notice as evidence by the signed return receipt card attached hereto, marked Exhibit "E" and incorporated herein by reference thereto as if fully set forth herein. b, Admitted in part Denied in part, It is admitted that State Rt. 11 physically divides the property and it is admitted that the property was posted on only one side of the property. It is denied that such posting was in any way defective, The implication of Petitioner that such posting was effective is denied as a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required, By way of further Answer, posting is governed by Section 602(e)(3) of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law which simply requires posting in a conspicuous place. c, Denied. For the reasons set forth in paragraph 8(b) and elsewhere in this Answer the averments of subparagraph "c" are denied. Furthermore the averments of subparagraph "c" set forth conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required, d. Denied, Rogers did receive actual notice of the sale as evidence by the signed return receipt cards attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "E," Petitioner averments at subparagraph D are incorrect when they indicate that both mailings required and were marked for restricted delivery, An examination of the copies of the return receipt cards attached hereto discloses that the item received June 12, 1999 was rnailed certified return receipt but not restricted delivery. The item received July 27, 2000 was marked both certified and restricted delivery, e, Admitted in part Denied in part. While in the "warning" section of the post- sale notice it indeed indicates taxes payable to Monroe Township the property is correctly identified as situate in Silver Springs Township. A copy of the post-sale notice and the return- Bureau Answer to St. Stephen Objections Page 3 of 5 ","~ " .' I ,'-~~-.o' G , ~ receipt card showing receipt by Stephen G. Rogers is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "F" and is incorporated herein by reference thereto as if fully set forth herein, f. Admitted. The post-sale notice, a copy of which is attached hereto as ' Exhibit "F" does indicate that the property is land of less than one acre. The actual acreage of the land is at the time of the sale was shown on the Cumberland County assessrnent records as 6,34 acres. g. Denied. The Bureau does not understand what notice Petitioner makes reference to having been received on October 13, 2000, The post-sale notice attached hereto as Exhibit "F" was received on October 12, 2000, As described elsewhere in this Answer, such post-sale notice was not the first possible notice to Rogers. h, Denied. The Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau has no knowledge of the property's market value and, according to the statute, bases its upset sale price on taxes and costs pursuant to Section 605 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law and not on a perceived market value, To the extent that the averments of this subparagraph imply that a tax sale is not valid if the price paid at the upset sale does not reflect a perceived fair market value for the property, such an averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required, By way of further Answer both the 1999 Notice of Return and Claim, and the year 2000 Notice of Public Tax Sale contains a warning that: "YOUR PROPERTY MAY BE SOLD FOR A SMALL FRACTION OF ITS FAIR MARKET VALUE." The language of these notices is set forth at 72 P,S, SS 5860.308(b) and 5860.602(g). 9. Denied, The averments of this paragraph set forth conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required, 10, Denied, The averments of this paragraph set forth conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required. Bureau Answer to SI. Stephen Objections Page 4 of 5 .'1 , ..6 "I ~ " '- ~' ../", 'iti,-! .. 11.

Although not required by statute, the Bureau also sends a reminder notice by regular U,S, mail, as described at the last two sentences of Paragraph 7 and in Exhibit "C" of the St. Stephen Answer. The said references to paragraphs and exhibits in the St. Stephen Answer are incorporated herein by reference thereto as if fully set forth herein, 4, Denied, For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 3 of this Answer and as described in the portions of the St. Stephen Answer incorporated herein by reference thereto, the Bureau denies that Rogers was without actual knowledge of the Upset Sale, By way of further Answer, the averments of this paragraph set forth a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is req uired, 5, Denied, (a) For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 3 herein, and the portions of the St. Stephen Answer incorporated herein by reference thereto, it is denied that Rogers failed to receive proper notice of the Upset Real Estate Tax Sale, b) The Notice of Return and Claim copied at Exhibit "C" of the Rogers Petition is a reconstruction of such a notice from the Bureau files, Furthermore, the copy attached as Exhibit "C" of the Rogers Petition is incomplete, A more complete copy is attached here as Exhibit "A" and is incorporated herein by reference thereto as if fully set forth herein, As is partially visible on Rogers Petition Exhibit "C", and which is fully visible in the lower left hand Bureau Answer to Rogers Objections Page 2 ~ " ~-'j" corner of Exhibit "A" attached hereto, the Bureau staff person who prepared the reconstructed notice wrote "Duplicate" thereon, Furthermore, in the lower right hand corner of Exhibit "A" attached hereto the version number "rev 3/00" is visible showing that the version of the notice used to reconstruct the "Duplicate" notice was last revised in March of the year 2000, Since this notice was mailed first in May of 1999 it was impossible for the version "rev 3/00" to be identical to that which was actually mailed, Therefore the Bureau individual that prepared this "Duplicate" hand corrected one date of July 1, 2001 to July 1, 2000 but neglected to change the other date to July 1, 2000, The Bureau does not maintain copies of the actual Notice of Return and Claim as a large number of such notices are sent but only a very few properties are actually sold, The Bureau employee who prepared the "Duplicate'" did so in an effort to assist all parties in knowing what was sent out, however, unfortunately the result was, evidently, misleading to Rogers and misunderstood by him, It is noted that the "Duplicate" notice was never actually sent, and therefore only came into the knowledge of Rogers after the sale when Rogers or his attorneys inspected the Bureau file, A copy of the actual Notice of Return and Claim form is attached to the Sl. Stephen Petition as' Exhibit "B" and a copy of the computer printout showing the information which was included on that Notice specifically, in this instance, is attached to the St. Stephen Answer also as a part of Exhibit "B," Such exhibits from the St. Stephen Answer are incorporated herein by reference thereto as if fully set forth herein, c) The first page of the computer printout which is a part of Exhibit "B" of the St. Stephen Answer is a receipt for mailing showing the return receipt card article numbers, The Bangor, Pennsylvania, post office stamp appears because the large number of Notices of Return and Claim are computer generated and mailed by a private contractor in the Bangor, Pennsylvania area, d) The article number for the mailing on May 21, 1999 of Bangor, Pennsylvania ends, for Stephen G, Rogers, with number 158, The unsigned return-receipt card for number ending 158 is reproduced at Exhibit "B" of the St. Stephen Answer and is also copied on top of Exhibit "C" of the Rogers Petition, That mailing was to a Homestead Florida address for Rogers, which was the address as disclosed'by the public records for the owner.

The Bureau has no information concerning Rogers's actual knowledge of any posting of the property and therefore has insufficient information with which to form a belief as to the truth of Rogers's averment that he did not have such actual knowledge, Strict proof at trial is demanded, however, it is denied that there is any relevancy to whether or not Rogers had actual knowledge of posting of the property, a) Denied, The posting was on the Property and not on a neighboring property, The posting may have been within the legal right-of-way of U,S, Rt. 11 adjoining the remaining property of the owner, however, the Bureau believes, and therefore avers, that such posting is now only sufficient and adequate but actually proper and preferable as better located so that it can be viewed, The inference that a posting within the PennDOT right-of-way is insufficient is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required, It is admitted that the Sheriff's deputy posted one side of the road alone, however, the inference that such a posting is insufficient is denied as a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required, b) Denied, A Sheriff return for postirig was made for the property as a whole and was proper for the reason set forth in Paragraph 7(a) of this Answer.

A copy of the language of this notice is attached hereto, marked Exhibit "C," and is incorporated herein by reference thereto as if fully set forth therein, The envelope was not returned by the post office, 8, Denied, To the extent that the averments of paragraph 8 and its sub-lettered paragraph set forth conclusions of law those averments are denied and no responsive pleading is required, By way of further answer, the Bureau believes, therefore avers, that the proper statutory procedures and notices for the upset tax sale were given and specifically responds as follows: Bureau Answer to SI.

For the reasons set forth in paragraph 8(b) and elsewhere in this Answer the averments of subparagraph "c" are denied, Furthermore the averments of subparagraph "c" set forth conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required, d, Denied, Rogers did receive actual notice of the sale as evidence by the signed return receipt cards attached hereto as Exhibits "A" and "E," Petitioner averments at subparagraph 0 are incorrect when they indicate that both mailings required and were marked for restricted delivery, An examination of the copies of the return receipt cards attached hereto discloses that the item received June 12, 1999 was mailed certified return receipt but not restricted delivery, The item received July 27, 2000 was marked both certified and restricted delivery, e, Admitted in part Denied in part.

As described elsewhere in this Answer, such post-sale notice was not the first possible notice to Rogers, h, Denied, The Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau has no knowledge of the property's market value and, according to the statute, bases its upset sale price on taxes and costs pursuant to Section 605 of the Real Estate Tax Sale Law and not on a perceived market value, To the extent that the averments of this subparagraph imply that a tax sale is not valid if the price paid at the upset sale does not reflect a perceived fair market value for the property, such an averment is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required, By way of further Answer both the 1999 Notice of Return and Claim, and the year 2000 Notice of Public Tax Sale contains a warning that: "YOUR PROPERTY MAY BE SOLD FOR A SMALL FRACTION OF ITS FAIR MARKET VALUE." The language of these notices is set forth at 72 P,S, SS 5860,308(b) and 5860,602(g), 9, Denied, The averments of this paragraph set forth conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required, 10, Denied, The averments of this paragraph set forth conclusions of law to which no responsive pleading is required, Bureau Answer to Sl.
