We 4 will let the record indicate that the Plaintiffs are 5 present in court represented by their counsel, Barbara 6 Sumple-Sullivan, Esquire. The Defendant is also present 7 in court representing himself. 8 Do Ms. Sumple-Sullivan and Mr. Bishop wish to 9 make opening statements? 10 MS. SUMPL2-SULLIVAN, Sure, Your Honor. Your 11 Honor, this is an action which is brought by the 12 Bankerts, an ejectment action, to receive possession of 13 the property that they own at 209 Portland Street. 14 The property had previously been owned by Mr. 15 Bishop and a Miss Accristo. The property was sold at a 16 sheriff's sale and a proper sheriff's deed was delivered, 17 dated December 7, 1998, to my clients. 18 Despite requests, Mr. Bishop has refused to 19 relocate from the property, and this is an ejection 20 action for my clients to regain possession of the 21 property. 22 MR. BISHOP: I wanted to state that I 23 notified the tax office before the sheriff's sale went 24 through and explained to them that I wouldn't have the 25 money for the taxes that were due until about another 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 H :1.2 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ....... I"".. A. That's correct. Q. Can you describe for the Court how you became aware that the property at 209 Portland Street was for sale? A. There was a notice in the Patriot News. Q. After you saw the notice in the Patriot News, did you take any actions to determine what the condition of the title was or how that property would be transferred? A. We did a background check to make sure there were no liens against the property. Q. What was the date of the sheriff's sale, sir? A. September 28. THE COURT: What year was that? THE WITNESS: 1998. THE COURT: Thank you. BY.MS. SUMPLE.SULl,IVAN: Q. ^nd did you and your wife attend the sale scheduled on September 28, 1998? A. Yes, we did. Q. Were there other bidders for the property of 209 Portland Street? A. There were not. Q. Did you in fact make a bid or purchase that property at that sale? 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 (:) ,-. Q. Were you advised during that 30 days that thete was a potential that Mr. Bishop or Ms. Accristo could in fact contest that or raise objections to the ,sale? A. Yes. Q. 1'm going to show you what I've marked as Plaintiffs' Exhibit Number 2. (Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 2 was marked for identifioation) BY MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: I'd ask you if you could identify what that Q. is. A. Q. A. Q. A. Q. recorded at Co\-,nty? A. Q. A. Q. This is the deed we received. And what was the date of that deed? The date was If you want to look at the original? 7th of December, 1998. Does that document also indicate that it was the Recorder of Deeds Office in Cumberland Yes, it was. What was the date it was recorded? December 18, 1998. Now, after you were in receipt of the deed, did you seek possession of the property from Mr. Bishop? 7 1 2 3 4 5 ,6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 -"~"I,\ --, that? THE COURT I On what ground? You .can obj~ct. But on what ground? MR. BISHOPI That he doesn't have factua~ statements, don't have like a poiiee l~ecord or anything, because I never threatened him. THE COURT I You can cross-examine him on that point, but he is purporting to say what you told him which would be an admissible statement. If you feel it is not factually accurate, you may cross-examine on that. MR. BISHOP: That's what I want to do. BY MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: Q. Continue, Mr. Bankert. A. Mr. Bishop indicated that he would be forcefully giving up the property, that he had a gun and that he would not give up the property peacefully. MR. BISHOP: That's a lie there. THE COURT: It's not proper to comment on the statements of the witness. You certainly can cross-examine on that, though. BY MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: Q. At any time since Mr. Bishop has been in your property since December, has he ever paid you any rent all ? A. No. 9 ,....., ,...., 1 A. Becaus€ the process is in litigation, any 2 conversation that I had would have to go through my 3 lawyer. 4 Q, But what I'm trying to state is what 5 conversations did we have. That's what I'm asking. What 6 conversations did we have? 7 A. We had conversat ions when you would stop me, 8 woulcln' t let me in the house, and talk to me about not .9 giving up the property. Is there any way that you could 10 buy the property from me. My indication was, no, you 11 could not huy the property back. 12 BY MR. BISHOP: 13 Q. I understand that. But my question is when 14 did this gun thing come up, and was there a report filed 15 with the police? 16 A. No, there was no report filed. And you did 17 not indicate any bodily injury to me or my family, but 18 you did indicate that you would have me forcefully 19 removed from the property and that you did have a gun and 20 they would have to take you. 21 Q. I don't ever remember saying that. 22 A . I do. 23 THE COURT: You can testify yourself as to 24 what you remember, but you can't comment on his answers 25 like that. Any further questions? 11 Ii'" r"""i 1 THE COUH'l', ^re YOll sayIng you' t'e rest Lng'? 2 MS. SUMPI.,li:,'SUl,l.,IVAN: Ye/J. 3 THE COURT: Dl d you WtHlt to move thc~ 4 admission of your exhIbIts? 5 .

BISHOP: Should I come up? 24 THE COURT: Yes, if you wish to present 25 testimony. 13 1 '2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1.1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ,.." t""\ posting of any kind of tax sale from the Tax Bureau giving you the opportunity to satisfy those taxes? A. I had the sheriff come to the house about the taxes around, I guess it was around August. Q. Okay, A. What was due was '96 and '97 taxes was past due. Q. All right. Now, tax sale was scheduled for the 27th of -- September 28th. Is that correct? A. I believe it was September, yeah. Q. Prior to that time, did you pay the taxes that were due? A. No, I didn't have the money to pay the taxes. I was laid off and I couldn't find other work. I couldn't borrow money against the house because Leslie Accristo has to cosign, and she won't cosign on a loan to pay the taxes or they would have been paid instead of borrowing money from my mom. Q. l,et me show you wha t I'm going to mark as Plaintiffs' Exhibit 4. (Whereupon, Plaintiffs' Exhibit No.4 was marked for identification.) BY MS. SUMPl,E-SULLIVAN: Q. You indicated that the sheliff had come to your property prior to the sale. Is that correct? 18 1 2 3 4 6 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ~::;.') ('l A. Yes, I believe it was August or it might have been mid September. Q. Okay. Did he provide you a copy of this notice of pUblic tax sale that was delivered to you on August 10, 19987 A. Yes, this looks like it because of the amount. Q. Did it again tell you that you. prope~ty would be sold? A. I called the tax office and I called the numbers, you know, the phone numbers, and they say if it's not paid by then, there is nothing I can do. I explained to them that I couldn't get them paid. But I believe somewhat -- in their words, they didn't care. They just wanted the taxes paid. Q. SO, again, Mr. Bishop, you don't allege any kind of fraud by the tax office in their sale of this property? A. I don't know. I don't know their rules, so I cannot allege that they were or that they weren't. You know, I -- Q. But you received advanced not ices at least in August, prior to the tax sale? A. Yeah, and I don I t know if LesUe Accristo has received all her notices or not. I asked her to bring 1.9 1 :/ 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 .-i r-, any exceptions or anything filed against the tax salei to your knowledge? A. That I remember of, no, there was nothing I could file. The :mly thing I called them on the phone. Q. Since you have been in the property -- A. 12 years. Q. Have you negotiated any kind of lease agreement with the 8ankerts? A. We have never discussed any lease agreements. They have never come to me except one time. He has talked to me from the sidewalk. Q. Have you at any time paid them any kind of rental for the property? A. No, there has never been anything discussed. Q. And you continue to maintain possession of this property to this date. Is that right? A. Yes. MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: I have nothing further, Your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. Do you have any testimony as a result of the questions of Ms. Sumple-Sullivan? THE WITNESS: Well, basically, I was notified. THE COURT; Okay. MR. WITNESS: I was notified that the sale 21 ~ 1 MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: I have nothing further I 2 Your Honor. 3 THE COURT: Do you have any testimony as a 4 result of those questions? 5 THE WITNESS: Well, may I get back on the 6 thing where I had a gun in his statements. 7 THE COURT: If you would like to. 8 THE WITNESS: Yeah, the only time I have 9 spoken to Scott was two months afterwards or three months 10 afterwards, and there was never anything mentioned of a 11 gun, which I don I t have. And he explr,ined to me that he '12 bought my house and he wants it for his investment. I 13 told him I'm not giving up the house. 14 Basically, any time we talked to each other, 15 it wasn't worth -- like I said, he walked away instead of 16 actually talking about it. I guess he wants the Court to 17 settle this. 18 THE COURT: Ms. Sumple Sullivan, do you have 19 any questions as a result of that testimony? 20' MS. SUMPLE.. SUI,LIVAN: No, Your Honor. 21 THE COURT: You may step down, thank you. 22 (Witness excused.) 23 THE COURT: Mr. Bishop, do you have any 24 further evidence or testimony to present at this time? 25 MR. BISHOP: Just my income. I had a witness 23 .-.., t'""\ r I w~shed would have been here, but she I s not here. She 2 was given other statements too and I don I t know what the 3 tax office gave her or the sheriff gave her. 4 THE COURT: You mentioned your tax retuI'ns. 5 Did you want them marked as exhibits? 6 MR. BISHOP: If I can show income, I have my 7 tax returns. e THE COURT: If you want them to be part of 9 the record in the case, we'll ask the stenographer to 10 mark them as exhibits. 11 MR. BISHOP: How do I go about that? 12 THE COURT: Bring them up and Ms. Moore will 13 mark them. 14 We'll take a brief recess. 15 (Recess.) 16 (Whereupon, Defendant's Exhibits Nos. 1, 2 17 and 3 were marked for identification.) 18 THE COURT: Mr. Bishop, I think you had had 19 some items mctrked as Defendant's Exhibits, or at least 20 wanted to have them marked. 21 MR. BISHOP: Yes. 22 THE COURT: These would be Exhibits 1 and 2, 23 I believe. Do YOLl want to bring them forward? 24 (Complying.) 25 24 .. (', 1 work. 2 MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVANI Were you employed in 3 1998? . 4 THE WITNESS: Meohanicsburg Recycling. I had 5 a hard time. It was the only work I could get. 6 MS. SUMPLE-SUl,LIVAN: You are not - - but you 7 are not disabled. Is that correct? 8 THE WITNESS: No. 9 MS. Sl1MPLE-SULUVAN: Nothing further, Your 10 Honor. 11 THE COURT: Do you have any further 12 testimony, Mr. Bishop, as a result of those questions? 13 THE WITNESS: No, I looked for work and I had 14 put in applications for jobs. I couldn't find any 15 substantial work. I was working low wage, or I would 16 have had the money to pay it. 17 THE COURT: Ms. Sumple-Sullivan, do you have 18 any questions as a result of those responses? 19 MS. SUMPl,E..SULLIVAN: No, Your Honor. 20 THE COURT: You may step down, thank you. 21 (Witness excused.) 22 THE COURT: Mr. Bishop, are you moving the 2'3 admission of Defendant's Exhibit 1, 2, 3. 24 MR. BISHOP: Am I __ 25 THE COURT: In other words, are you asking 27 :;...) ,,-... 1 tha.t they be made part of the record? 2 MR. BISHOP: Yes. 3 THE COURT: Ms. Sumple-Sullivan? 4 MS, SUMPLE-SUl,LIVAN: Your Honor, I would 5 object to the introduct:lon. They're not relevan' tr 6 these proceedings. This is no defense to a nonpayment of 7 taxes because of lack of income. If those objections 8 should have been raised, they should have been raised in 9 the proceedings with the Tax Claim Bureau, and they are 10 not at all relevant to this proceeding. 11 THE COURT: Defendant's Exhibits 1, 2, 3 are 12 admitted over Plaintiffs' objection. 13 (Whereur-on, Defendant's Exhibits Nos. I, 2 14 and 3 were addmitted into evidence.) . 15 THE COURT: Mr. Bishop, I assume that this 16 concludes your statement? i7 MR. BISHOP: Can I make statements? 18 THE: COURT: Yes, at the conclusion of 19 statements, I'll ask for argument by the parties but not 20 yet because Ms. Sumple - Sull i van hasn I t had a chance to 21 present rebuttal testimony if there is any. 22 MS. SUMPI,E..SULLIVAN: Just very briefly, Your 23 Honor, I call Mr. Heisey from the Tax Claim Bureau. 24 JACOB L.

(", that has been predetermined, That date is usually during the last week of September, Q, Let me show you what has been marked aEl Plaintiffs' Exhibit 4 and ask you if you can identify whether or not the notice contained thereon is the notice that you are referencing, sir? A. What I am looking at here is printed on both sides of a form. On one side it is a nottce of public tax sale dated August 10 of 1998. It is addressed to Timothy J, Bishop and Leslie J. Accristo at 209 East Portland Street, Mechanicsburg. It lists the price of the sale, which includes the delinquent taxes together with any municipal liens or any Department of Revenue liens that may be in place, So that the figures shown here is more than the year of the delinquent taxes. Also, on the other side of this form, it's indicating that sheriff's service was made on Mr. Bishop by a deputy sheriff, whose name I cannot read, Leslie something -- I'm searching for a date. On the 9th day of September, 1998. Q. In addition to the direct notices, did you have an opportunity to post this sale at various newspapers? A. Yes, Q. Could you describe for the Court what papers 31 1 2 3 4 5 6 '7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 1'7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 "..... (", you posted this sale for? A, The notice of public tax sale is published in the Harrisburg paper, thEd.r West shore edition, the Carlisle Sentinel, the Shippensburg News Chronicle as well as the cumberland [,aw Journal. Q. On the date of this sale whi.ch waB September 28, 1998, did Ms. - - prior to the date of the sale of September 28, had Mr. Bishop or Ms. Accristo paid the tax amount thas was dUEj to your office? A, For the tax year? For the sale year? Q. Yes, A, Not to my knowledge, Q, Okay. Was the property in fact Sold at the judicial sale to the Ban~erts? A. It was sold at the upset sale, Q. At the upset sales to the Bankert? A. A difference in terminology, Q, After the sale, did your office again send to Mr, Bishop a notification of the sale and h:s rights under the law? A. Yes. Q, I'm going to show you what has been marked as Plaintiffs' Exhibit 5 and ask you if you can identify what that is, A, This is a three-page exhibit that has postal 32 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 r. notes on hete that this was tendered for delivery on the 2nd -- excuse me, 10/16/98 and it was returned to the Tax Claim Bureau marked unclaimed. When this occurs, a notice is returned unclaimed, we then Bend the same notice regular first class mai.l with proof of mailing; meaning that we take it to the post office and on the mail book the postal service stamps that they received this and posted it, And it was mailed regular first class mail, in this case, to Timothy J. Bi.shop, 209 East Portland Street, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17055. Q. Now, again, Mr. Bishop has raised some issues concerning service on Miss Accristo. Is that correct? Do you know whether or not she was appropriately served with all these tax notices? A. It is my belief she has. Q, And had a request been made by Miss Accristo to keep her address private, if possible? A, That's correct. Q, But do you know whether or not she had been served by certified mail restricted deli.very notifying the s(\le? A, It's my underotanding she has. MS, SUMh'LE-SUI,LIVAN: Your Honor, we have the proof of service in that situation. As I understand, 33 '"1' .,,-.,; 1 MS, SUMPLE-SU[,[,IVAN: I have nothing further, 2 Your Honor. 3 THE COURT: Mr, Bishop, do you have any 4 questions of Mr. Heisey? 5 MR, BISHOP: Should I come up there or __ 6 THE COURT: You can approach the wi. tness. 7 MR.

Is your office in Mechanicsburg or are you ~6 with the tax office? 17 A. I'm director of the Tax Claim Bureau in the 18 Old COurthouse, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. 1,9 Q, That's what I'm asking, in the Old 20 Courthouse, They said to me that -- 21 THE COURT: No, you're starting to testify 22 again. You can testify when you want to later on, but 23 right now this is the time for questions of this witness, 24 MR, BISHOP: Okay. 25 BY MR.

A. You say any forms? What are you referrirtg to, sir? Q. To stop the sale, anything to A. The notices that you received all said to the effect that the way to stop the sale was to pay the taxes, Q, And that was the only way? A. That's correct. MR, BISHOP: I have no other -_ THE COURT: Ms. Sumple-Sullivan, do you have anY further questions of Mr. Heisey? MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: No, Your Honor. I'll rest, Your Honor. THE COURT: Mr. Heisey, you may step down, thank. you, And you are excused. (Witness excused.) THE COURT: Ms. Sumple"Sullivan, are you prepared to rest? MS. SUMPLE - SULLIVAN: Yes. THE COURT: There are several exhibits not moved for admission. Plaintiffs' Exhibits 3, 4 and 5. Do you move for their admission? 36 'I"~ r\ 1 THE WI'I'NESS: Timothy Bishop, Timothy John 2 Btshop. 3 THE COURT: What did you want to say in 4 response to the testimony that was just received? 5 THE WITNESS: Well, that r lived there for 12 6 years and my taxes have been paid and they would have 7 been paid if the tax office here in CarliSle, which is 8 the number I was call illg, would have waHed just three 9 weeks. r t wasn't even. a month. When my mom sent me the 10 check, I could have paid the taxes, But what they told 11 me at their offices, once it went through, there was 12 nothing I could do. And I couldn't afford a private 13 attorney. If it wasn't for L.egal Services helping me a 14 little bit here, r wouldn't be able to do anything at 15 aU, 16 THE COURT: Ms. Sumple-Sullivan, do you have 17 any questions as a result of that testimony? 18 MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: No, Your Honor, 19 THE COURT: You may step down, thank you. 20 (Witness excused.) 21 THE COURT: Ms. Sumple-Sullivan, do you have 22 any further testimony as a result of that testimony? 23 MS. SUMP[,E - SULLIVAN: No, YOur Honor. 24 THE COURT: That concludes the evidentiary 25 phase of the case. Do the parties wtsh to make closing )8 ("''\ 1. arguments, 2 Mr, Bishop? 3 MR, BISHOP: I basically don't know what to 4 say, I want to be able to pay my back taxes. I wanted 5 to be able to pay them, like I said, a month later, 6 because I didn't have the money, Once it went through, '7 the tax office won't accept it. 8 I feel as if I'm being threatened with -- not 9 being threatened by the Plaintiffs, but I've lived there 1.0 for 12 years, I don't have the ability to communicate 11 with Leslie Accristo other than on the weekends when she 12 comes over to drop our daughter off, The house was paid 13 for, was paid off and I have no other place to go. 14 THE COURT: Ms, Sumple-Sullivan? 15 MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVAN: Your Honor, I -- again, 16 we're here on an action of ejectment. I think it is 17 clear from the record that all due notices and abilities 18 were given to Mr. Bishop to correct any kind of problem 19 that he had with the tax bureau. 20 By his own admission, he received the 21 warnings and was aware of the tax sale going through. He 22 received the warning. They gave him the right to file 23 objections to the tax sale within 30 days thereafter. 24 He, by his own admission, indicates that he did not make 25 his tax payment, These are the obligations that you have 39 .~ (". 1 as a citizen and a landowner. 2 The proper'ty was appropriately sold and was 3 purchased by the Bankerts in accordance with the 4 processes that are established by the court, At this 5 point, deed is prima facie, My clients are the owner of 6 that property and they have a right of possession based 7 on ownership, and that Mr. Bishop must be ejected from 8 the property to allow them to exercise their possession 9 of the property. 10 THE COURT: Thank. you, Do the parties have 11 proposed Orders for the Court to sign in support of their 12 respective positions? 13 MS. SUMPLE-SULLIVk~: I did not prepare a 14 proposed Order, Your Honor, 15 THE COURT: Mr. Bishop, I assume you don't 16 have a proposed Order? The Order that you would propose 17 would say that the Court finds in favor of the Defendant. 18 The Order that Ms. Sumple-Sullivan would propose would be 19 a little more complicated. But I'll give you each 24 20 hours within which to submit a proposed Order, and we'll 21 2nter this order. 22 And now, this 26th day of April, 1999, upon 23 consideyation of the Plaintiffs' Complaint in Ejectment 24 and following a nonjury trial, the record is declared 25 closed, t.he matter is taken under advisement, and the 40 ~ Scon and LISA BANKERT, PlaintilT IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA v, CIVIL ACTION - LAW TIMOTHY], BISHOP, Defendant NO. 99-0287 CIVIL TERM ORDER OF COURT AND NOW, this 2~ ,l day of November, 1999, upon consideration of Plaintiffs' Request for Clarification of Order Relutive to Disposition of Personal Property, and of Defendant's Answer to Rule, Defendant is afforded until January 1,2000, to remove his personalty from the premises of209 E.

This is an action in ejectment arising out of the Plaintiffs' alleged ownership of property at 209 East Portland Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The Defendant apparently maintains that in some way the title of the Plaintiffs, which was received as the result of a sheriff's sale on a tax debt, is procedurally defective. This will be a nonjury trial which is not el<::>ected to take more than one half day, Defendant has not served answers to Plaintiffs' interrogatories, which were served on February 24, 1999. By separate Order of Court, Defendant will be directed to answer the interrogatories without objection within fifteen days of today's date.
