Cumberland County Bar Association 2 Liberty Ave. Carlisle, PA 17013 (717) 249-3166 Louis J. Capozzi, Jr. and Shelley Lee Capozzi Plaintiffs IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS Cumberland COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION - LAW V. Jeffrey L. Walters and Beth Ann Walters, Defendants COMPLAINT AND NOW COMES the plaintiff, Louis J. Capozzi, Jr. and Shelley Lee Capozzi, through their attorneys, Adler & Adler, and respectfully represents the following: 1. Plaintiffs, Louis J. Capozzi, Jr. and Shelley Lee Capozzi, are adult individuals with an address of 1655 Holly Pike, Carlisle, PA 17015. 2. Defendants, Jeffrey L. Walters and Beth Ann Walters, are adult individuals with an address of 86 Greenwood Circle, Lemoyne, PA 17043. 3. On October 30, 2004, Capozzi, and defendants purchased the property known as Unit 403, Palmanova Plaza, Palmas Del Mar, Puerto Rico, a condominium unit located in Puerto Rico (hereinafter referred to as the "Condo") 4 All expenses of the Condo were to be shared equally by the two couples. 5. Defendant, Jeffrey Walters, was responsible for paying all Condo bills with contribution from plaintiff Capozzi. 6. On or about the middle of January, 2007, plaintiff discovered that Jeff Walters had not been paying the bills such as condominium fees and utility charges. 7. It was on or around the middle of January, 2007, that defendant Walters informed plaintiff that defendant Walters was having severe financial difficulties. 8. In order to survive financially, defendant Walters needed to sell his interest in the Condo. 9. Plaintiff agreed to purchase defendants' interest in the Condo for $200,000.00. 10. Plaintiff and defendant purchased the Condo for $385,000.00 in 2005 with each party contributing $192,500.00. 11. Plaintiff paid the defendant $200,000.00 for defendants' interest in the Condo on May 17, 2007. 12. Settlement on the property did not occur until July 17, 2007. 13. Plaintiff paid defendant in May of 2007 because of defendants' immediate need for funds. 14. Plaintiff also paid for all settlement costs listed on the settlement sheet in July of 2007. 15. Defendant agreed to pay defendant's prorata share of all unpaid expenses for the Condo up until the closing date. 16. Not all unpaid expenses were quantified at the time of settlement on July 17, 2007. 17. At settlement, defendant agreed that an accounting would be given by defendant, who had all the bills, and once these expenses were quantified, that he would contribute his prorata share. 18. Plaintiff was unaware that Defendant had not paid three years of real estate taxes at the time of closing, and defendant claims he had not received the real estate tax bills. 19. Defendant had been responsible for the collection and payment of all bills, with contribution from plaintiff. 20. Defendant failed to pay the real estate taxes due and failed in his responsibility to ascertain that obligation. 21. On or about July 27, 2007, defendant was presented with the following bills: 2005, 2006 and 2007 Real estate taxes ................................ $5,789.77 2006 Tax return preparation for Lou Jeff, Inc . ........................... 1,532.19 Condo association fees ............................................. $230.00 22. Since July of 2007, the following bill also remains unpaid: Marsters Management fee due ...................................... $3,500.00 23. Defendant has refused to pay his prorata share of said bills after repeated demands therefore. 24. The deed which had been signed by plaintiffs and defendants for the sale of the Condo to plaintiffs was returned to plaintiffs unrecorded, because the lawyer from Puerto Rico informed the parties that the parties' initials were required on each page in order to record the document. 25. The lawyer from Puerto Rico had not previously informed the parties of such a requirement. 26. Even though defendants have received the $200,000.00 purchase price, the defendants refuse to initial the deed so that it may be recorded. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief: That Defendants be ordered to initial or take any other action required so that the deed for the Condo can be recorded in Puerto Rico; That Defendants be ordered to reimburse plaintiffs $5,525.98 representing 1/2 of the above listed expenses; In the alternative, that Defendant be ordered to repay the $200,000.00 paid by Plaintiffs to Defendant, plus 50% of the closing costs paid by Plaintiff; That Defendants be ordered to pay Plaintiffs costs of suit. Breach of Contract 27. Paragraphs one through 26 are incorporated herein by reference. 28. In both the agreement of sale and at settlement, defendants agreed to pay their prorata share of expenses, including utilities and Condo fees, due up to the time of settlement. 29. After repeated demand, defendants have refused to pay their prorata share of said expenses. 30. By failing to pay said expenses, defendants have breached the oral agreement to pay said prorata share of the expenses. 31. Defendants further agreed to execute a recordable deed to the Condo to plaintiffs. 32. After repeated demands, defendants have refused to initial the deed so that it may be recorded. 33. In failing to reimburse plaintiff for said Condo expenses, defendants breached their agreement with plaintiffs to do so. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the following relief: That Defendants be ordered to initial or take any other action required so that the deed for the Condo can be recorded in Puerto Rico; That Defendants be ordered to reimburse plaintiffs $5,525.98 representing 1/2 of the above listed expenses; In the alternative, that Defendant be ordered to repay the $200,000.00 paid by Plaintiffs to Defendant, plus 50% of the closing costs paid by Plaintiff; That Defendants be ordered to pay Plaintiffs costs of suit.

WALTERS and BETH ANN WALTERS, Defendants DEFENDANTS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT: AND NOW, this 6 h day of June, 2008, come Jeffrey L. Walters and Beth Ann Walters, Defendants, by their attorney Mark S. Silver, Esquire and Joseph A. Klein, P.C., and file the following Preliminary Objections to the Complaint filed against them by Plaintiffs Louis J. Capozzi, Jr., and Shelley Lee Capozzi for the reasons hereinafter set forth: PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS FOR FAILURE OF THE COMPLAINT TO CONFORM TO LAW OR RULE OF COURT OR INCLUSION OF SCANDALOUS OR IMPERTINENT MATTER. A. PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS BASED UPON FAILURE OF THE COMPLAINT TO CONFORM TO LAW OR RULE OF COURT. 1. Pa. R. C. P. Rule 1019 provides as inter alia, follows: "(h) When any claim or defense is based upon an agreement, the pleading shall state specifically if the agreement is oral or written. NOTE: If the agreement is in writing, it must be attached to the pleading. See Subdivision (i) of this rule. (i) When any claim or defense is based upon a writing, the pleader shall attach a copy of the writing, or the material part thereof, but if the writing or copy is not accessible to the pleader, it is sufficient so to state, together with the reason, and to set forth the substance in writing." 2. The Complaint filed by Plaintiffs against Defendants, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A" in its entirety and in the form as served upon Defendants, though referencing in Paragraph 14 a "settlement sheet"; in Paragraph 15 "Defendant agreed..."; in Paragraph 21 "... the following bills:"; in Paragraph 22 "... the following bill..."; in Paragraph 23 "... of said bills..."; in Paragraph 24 "the deed..."; in Paragraph 28 "...both the agreement of sale and at settlement, defendants agreed to pay their pro rata share of expenses, including utilities and Condo fees, due up to the time of settlement..."; in Paragraph 30 "...the oral agreement to pay said pro rata share of the expenses..."; in Paragraph 31 "...a recordable deed"; in Paragraph 33 "...agreement with Plaintiffs..."; and in Paragraphs 4, 5, and 6 references made in the Complaint to purported agreements between Plaintiffs and Defendants which are not identified as having either been oral agreements or written agreements and had they been oral, the substance of the same is not provided and had they purportedly been in writing, no copy of the writing is attached as required by Pa. R.C.P. 1019. With regard to all specifically numbered Paragraphs listed in this Preliminary Objection 2, and any purported agreements, the same are not identified as having been either oral or written agreements and had they been oral, the substance of the same is not provided and had they purportedly been in writing, no copy of the writing is attached to Plaintiffs' Complaint as required by Pa. R. C. P. 1019.. 3. Plaintiffs in their Complaint attempt repeatedly to circumvent the absolute and mandatory requirements of Pa. R.C.P. 1019 and have failed to either set forth the substance of any oral agreements or provide any written agreements or even identify in their Complaint whether any agreements were oral or written as required by the aforesaid Pa. R.C.P. 1019. WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that Plaintiffs' Complaint be stricken in its entirety for failure to conform with the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and the statutory and case law interpreting the same as set forth above. B. PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS BASED ON INCLUSION OF SCANDALOUS OR IMPERTINENT MATTER IN PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT 4. Paragraphs 1 through and including 3 above are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth at length as is Exhibit "A" attached hereto. 5. Plaintiffs' instant Complaint and the striking thereof should be decided based upon whether or not these are accurate averments of fact contained therein, the accuracy of all of which are in doubt, and not upon impertinent and/or scandalous and/or irrelevant matters raised in Paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27 (with respect to the incorporation by reference of any of the Paragraphs previously numbered herein), 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33. WHEREFORE, all the aforesaid Paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27 (with respect to the incorporation by reference of any of the Paragraphs previously numbered herein), 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33 should be stricken from Plaintiffs' Compja*t as Tt/ho a it impertinent, scandalous, and irrelevant.
