DEFENDANT'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No's 1017(a) and 1028, Defendant Susan Yeingst, by and through
her attorneys, MidPenn Legal Services, preliminarily objects to Plaintiff's Complaint and moves
for its dismissal as follows:
1. MOTION TO STRIKE/FAILURE OF PLEADING TO CONFORM TO LAW AND
RULE OF COURT
1. Plaintiff filed a Complaint demanding damages in the amount of $1, 596.65 plus
attorney fees and costs.
2. Plaintiff has failed to attach to the Complaint any signed written contract between
Defendant and the Plaintiff. Although this contract would form the very core of
Plaintiff's case, such a writing has not been appended to the Complaint, nor its
absence explained, as required by Pa.R.C.P. No. 1019(i).
3. Although Plaintiff avers that Plaintiff sold and delivered goods to the Defendant,
no description of goods or services forming the basis for the Complaint were
attached to the Complaint.
4. In addition, while Plaintiff claims in Paragraph 7 that Defendant defaulted under
the terms of the agreement, Plaintiff fails to attach any documentation of charges
or payments which would evidence such a default.
5. Pa.R.C.P.No.1024 requires, inter alia, that pleadings containing averments of fact
must be verified by the party making those averments.
6. None of the exceptions to the requirement for verification exist on the face of the
record in this case.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Yeingst demands the Plaintiff's Complaint be stricken
without prejudice to the filing of a properly verified andmore specific Complaint,
within twenty (20) days.
II. MOTION TO STRIKEANSUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY OF PLEADING
7. Paragraph's 1-6 are incorporated herein by reference hereto.
As a whole, the Complaint is grossly vague and lacking in factual averments such
that Defendant is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a
meaningful response and prepare a defense.
9. The Complaint fails to provide any documentation or accounting of charges
allegedly made by Defendant, which would support Plaintiff s claim of damages,
such as a breakdown of charges, payments, and interest, so that Defendant can
properly formulate a response and assert any counterclaims.
10. Given the generality of Plaintiff s allegations and failure to attach any
documentation to support its claim, the Complaint fails to satisfy the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Yeingst demands that Plaintiff s Complaint be stricken
without prejudice to the filing by Plaintiff of an Amended Complaint.
