BEFORE HOFFER, P.J., HESS and OLER, JJ.
OPINION and ORDER OF COURT
OLER, J., October 2, 2003.
In this ejectment action, Plaintiff seeks damages and possession of property
which Defendants have allegedly failed to vacate following Plaintiff's purchase of
the property at a sheriff's sale.t For disposition at this time is Plaintiff's motion
for summary judgment.
No response was filed to Plaintiff's motion. The matter was argued on
August 27, 2003. For the reasons stated in this opinion, Plaintiff's motion will be
granted in part and denied in part.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The present action in ejectment was commenced by complaint on October
7, 2002. Plaintiff is Credit Based Asset Servicing and Securitization, having
offices at Suite 600, 5373 W. Alabama, Houston; TX 77056.2 Defendants are
Plaintiff' s complaint, filed October 7, 2002.
Plaintiff's complaint, para. 1; Answer of Defendant Mahnda S. Meehan, par . 1.
Malinda S. Meehan and Charles Meehan, now or fbrmerly residing at 519
Hamilton Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.3
According to Plaintiff's complaint, Plaintiff became the owner of the
premises at 519 Hamilton Street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, by
virtue of its purchase of the property at a sheriff's sale on Thursday, September 5,
2002. An answer to the complaint filed on behalf of Defendant Malinda S.
Meehan admitted that she was residing on the premises and denied that Defendant
Charles Meehan still lived there.4
The answer of Defendant Malinda S. Meehan did not refute Plaintiff's
allegation that it was the owner of the premises5 and denied generally Plaintiff's
allegation that she had no legal interest in the property.6 No answer was filed on
behalf of Defendant Charles Meehan.
On December 10, 2002, Plaintiff filed the motion for summary judgment
subjudice.7 The motion averred the following, inter alia:
1. Plaintiff is Credit Based Asset Servicing and
Securitization. Plaintiff's address is 5373 West Alabama, Suite
600, Houston, TX 77056.
2. Defendants, Malinda S. Meehan, f/k/a Malinda S.
Rasmussen and Charles Meehan or Occupants, are individuals
residing at 519 Hamilton Street, Carlisle, PA 17013. In
defendant's Answer to paragraph 2 of the Complaint, it is
admitted that Malinda S. Meehan, f/k/a Malinda S. Rasmussen
resides at 519 Hamilton Street, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, but
denied that Charles Meehan resides at the aforesaid address · ·
3 Plaintiff's complaint, para. 2; Answer of Defendant Malinda S. Meehan, para. 2.
4 Answer of Defendant Malinda S. Meehan, para. 2.
~ The answer indicated that Defendant did not have sufficient information to form a belief as to
the truth of the averment. Answer of Defendant Malinda S. Meehan, paras. 3-5.
a Answer of Defendant Malinda S. Meehan, para. 6. This general denial was the equivalent of an
admission. Pa. R.C.P. 1029(b).
7 Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, filed March 12, 2003.
2
3. Plaintiff is the owner of the premises located at 519
Hamilton Street, Carlisle, PA 17013 (the "Property").
4. Plaintiff became owner of the Property by Assignment
from Conti Mortgage Corporation and pursuant to a
foreclosure sale after which sale a Deed was lodged at the
Department of Records and Settlement made with the Sheriff
of Cumberland County.
5. Defendants are now in exclusive possession of the
Property without right, and so far as the plaintiff is informed,
without claim of title.
6. On September 13, 2002, Plaintiff sent notice by regular
and certified mail return receipt requested to defendants to
vacate the property.
7. Plaintiff has thus demanded possession of the Property
from the defendants who have refused to deliver up possession
of the same.
8. Plaintiff by virtue of the above, is the owner of the
property, and is entitled to back rent including late charges
from February 11, 2000 until present,s
Although Defendant Malinda S. Meehan wa~ served with Plaintiff's motion
for summary judgment, it does not appear that service was attempted upon
Defendant Charles Meehan.9 No answer was filed to Plaintiff's motion for
summary judgment. No brief was submitted in opposition to the motion, nor did
either Defendant appear at the oral argument to oppose the motion, in person or
through counsel.~°
DISCUSSION
Statement of law. Under Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1035.2, it is
provided as follows with respect to summary judgment:
s Plaintiff' s motion for summary judgment, paras. 1-8.
9 See Certificate of service, PlaintiW s motion for summary judgment.
~0 Counsel for Defendant Melissa S. Meehan was permitted to withdraw from the case, because of
Defendant's failure to cooperate in her defense, inter alia. See Petition To Withdraw
Appearance, filed July 10, 2003; Rule To Show Cause, July 18, 2003 (Hess, J.); Petition To Make
Rule Absolute, filed August 14, 2003; Order of Court, August 19, 2003 (Hess, J.).
After the relevant pleadings are closed, but within such
time as not to unreasonably delay trial, any party may move for
summary judgment in whole or in part as a malXer of law
(1) whenever there is no genuine issue of any material fact
as to a necessary element of the cause of action or defense
which could be established by additional discovery or expert
report, or
(2) if, after the completion of discovery relevant to the
motion, including the production of expert reports, an adverse
party who will bear the burden of proof at trial has failed to
produce evidence of facts essential to the cause of action or
defense which in a jury trial would require the issues to be
submitted to a jury.
When considering whether summary judgment is proper, a court must
examine the record in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, with all
doubts resolved against the moving party. Demmler v. SmithKline Beecham
Corp., 448 Pa. Super. 425,430, 671 A.2d 1151, 1153 (1996). "IT]he mission of
the summary judgment procedure is to pierce the pleadings and to assess proof in
order to see whether there is a genuine need for a trial?' Ertel v. Patriot-News Co.,
544 Pa. 93, 100, 674 A.2d 1038, 1042 (1996). The pm-pose of summary judgment
is to "eliminate the waste of time and resources of both litigants and the courts in
cases where a trial would be a useless formality." Liles v. Balmer, 389 Pa. Super.
451,454, 567 A.2d 691,692 (1989); see Moritz v. Gluck, 48 Cumberland L.J. 1, 3
(1998). To this end, "[the non-moving party] may not rest upon the mere
allegations or denials of the pleadings but must file a response within thirty days
after service of the motion identifying
(1) one or more issues of fact arising from evidence in the
record controverting the evidence cited in support of the
motion or from a challenge to the credibility of one or more
witnesses testifying in support of the motion, or
(2) evidence in the record establishing the facts essential to
the cause of action or defense which the motion cites as not
having been produced.
Pa. R.C.P. 1035.3(a).
4
Accordingly, it is well settled that "[s]ummary judgment may be entered
against a party who does not respond [to the motion for summary judgment]." Pa.
R.C.P. 1035.3(d).
Application of law to facts. In the present case, Plaintiff's motion for
summary judgment against Defendant Charles Meehan is premature, inasmuch as
the pleadings have not been closed as to him, nor does it appear that the motion
was served upon him. As against Defendant Malinda S. Meehan, the motion,
although consistent with the complaint as to ejectment, is not consistent as to
11 Given the foregoing principles of law, the state of the present record,
damages.
the absence of a response to PlaintiWs motion for summary judgment, the absence
of a defense brief on the motion, and the absence of an appearance at oral
argument on behalf of either defendant, the court will enter the following order:
ORDER OF COURT
AND NOW, this 2na day of October, 2003, upon consideration of PlaintiWs
motion for summary judgment, and for the reasons stated in the accompanying
opinion, it is ordered and directed as follows:
1. PlaintiWs motion for summary jud~nent in ejectment
against Defendant Malinda S. Meehan, and any persons
residing through her, is granted, and she is ejected from the
premises at 519 Hamilton Street, Carlisle, Cnmberland County,
Pennsylvania;
2. PlaintiWs motion for summary judgment in ejectment
against Defendant Charles Meehan is denied; and
3. PlaintiWs motion for summary judgment for damages
against Defendants is denied.
n In its complaint, Plaintiff alleges that its ownership of the property in question commenced on
September 5, 2002. Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment requests damages from February
11, 2000.
