JOSE A. YAMAGUCHI

326 HIGH MOUNTAIN ROAD
SHIPPENSBURG, PA 17257-9663
who is/are the mortgagor(s) and/or real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 04/24/2007 mortgagor(s) made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the premises
hereinafter described to MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS,
INC. AS A NOMINEE FOR FIRST FRANKLIN FINANCIAL CORP., AN OP. SUB.
OF MLB&T CO., FSB which mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of
CUMBERLAND County, in Mortgage Book No. 1990, Page 1375. The PLAINTIFF is
now the legal owner of the mortgage and is in the process of formalizing an assignment
of same. The mortgage and assignment(s), if any, are matters of public record and are
incorporated herein by reference in accordance with Pa.R.C.P. 1019(g); which Rule
relieves the Plaintiff from its obligations to attach documents to pleadings if those
documents are of public record.
4. The premises subject to said mortgage is described as attached.
5. The mortgage is in default because monthly payments of principal and interest upon said
mortgage due 06/01/2008 and each month thereafter are due and unpaid, and by the terms
of said mortgage, upon failure of mortgagor to make such payments after a date specified
by written notice sent to Mortgagor, the entire principal balance and all interest due
thereon are collectible forthwith.
File #: 187358

The following amounts are due on the mortgage:
Principal Balance $197,441.20
Interest $6,814.08
05/01/2008 through 09/22/2008
Attorney's Fees $1,250.00
Cumulative Late Charges $626.45
04/24/2007 to 09/22/2008
Cost of Suit and Title Search 550.00
Subtotal $206,681.73
Escrow
Credit $0.00
Deficit $609.51
Subtotal 609.51
TOTAL $207,291.24
7
8.
If the mortgage is reinstated prior to a Sheriffs Sale, the attorney's fee set forth above
may be less than the amount demanded based on work actually performed. The
attorney's fees requested are in conformity with the mortgage and Pennsylvania law.
Plaintiff reserves its right to collect attorney's fees up to 5% of the remaining principal
balance in the event the property is sold to a third party purchaser at Sheriffs Sale, or if
the complexity of the action requires additional fees in excess of the amount demanded in
the Action.
Plaintiff is not seeking a judgment of personal liability (or an in personam judgment)
against the Defendant(s) in the Action; however, Plaintiff reserves its right to bring a
separate Action to establish that right, if such right exists. If Defendant(s) has/have
received a discharge of personal liability in a bankruptcy proceeding, this Action of
Mortgage Foreclosure is in no way an attempt to reestablish such personal liability
discharged in bankruptcy, but only to foreclose the mortgage and sell the mortgaged
premises pursuant to Pennsylvania Law.
File #: 187358
9. Notice of Intention to Foreclose as set forth in Act 6 of 1974, Notice of Homeowner's
Emergency Assistance Program pursuant to Act 91 of 1983, as amended in 1998, and/or
Notice of Default as required by the mortgage document, as applicable, have been sent to
the Defendant(s) on the date(s) set forth thereon, and the temporary stay as provided by
said notice has terminated because Defendant(s) has/have failed to meet with the Plaintiff
or an authorized consumer credit counseling agency, or has/have been denied assistance
by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency.
10. This action does not come under Act 6 of 1974 because the original mortgage amount
exceeds $50,000.
WHEREFORE, PLAINTIFF demands an in rem Judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum
of $207,291.24, together with interest from 09/22/2008 at the rate of $47.32 per diem to the date
of Judgment, and other costs and charges collectible under the mortgage and for the foreclosure
and sale of the mortgaged property.

Affidavit of Service attached hereto as Exhibit "B", the address was occupied by a Ms.
Velazquez for the past three years.

MEMORANDUM OF LAW
Pa. R.C.P. 430 specifically provides:
(a) If service cannot be made under the applicable rule, the plaintiff may move the
Court for a special order directing the method of service. The Motion shall be
accompanied by an Affidavit stating the nature and extent of the investigation which has
been made to determine the whereabouts of the Defendants and the reasons why service
cannot be made.
Note: A Sheriff's return of "Not Found" or the fact that a Defendant has moved without leaving a new forwarding address is
insufficient evidence of concealment. Gonzales vs. Polis, 238 Pa. Super. 362, 357 A.2d 580 (1976). "Notice of intended adoption
mailed to last known address requires a good faith effort to discover the correct address." Adoption of Walker, 468 Pa 165, 360 A.2d
603 (1976).
An illustration of good faith effort to locate the defendant includes (1) inquires of postal authorities including inquiries
pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 39 C.F.R. Part 265, (2) inquiries of relatives, neighbors, friends and employers of the
Defendant and (3) examinations of local telephone directories, voter registration records, local tax records, and motor vehicle records.
6
(b) (1) If service of process by publication has been authorized by rule of
civil procedure or order of court, the publication shall be by advertising a notice of
the action once in the legal publication, if any, designated by the court for the
publication of legal notices and in one newspaper of general circulation within the
county. The publication shall contain the caption of the action and the names of
the parties, state the nature of the action and conclude with a notice.
(b) (2) When service is made by publication upon the heirs and assigns of a named
former owner or party in interest, the court may permit publication against the heirs or
assigns generally if it is set forth in the complaint or an affidavit that they are unknown.
As indicated by the attached Sheriffs Return of Service, marked hereto as Exhibit
"A" and Plaintiffs Process Server's Affidavit of Service attached hereto as "B", service
could not be completed. A good faith effort to discover the whereabouts of the Defendants
has been made as evidenced by the attached Affidavit of Reasonable Investigation, marked
Exhibit "C".
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter an
Order pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 430 directing service of the Complaint by first class mail,
certified mail, by posting of the mortgaged premises and by publication pursuant to Pa.
R.C.P. 430.
