PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
AND NOW comes Defendant Donna Marie Desfor, formerly known as Donna Marie
Zotter, (hereinafter "Desfor"), by and through its attorneys, Smigel, Anderson & Sacks L.L.P.,
who file the following Preliminary Objections and, in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Failure of Pleading to Conform to Pa R Civ. Proc. 10190).
1. Desfor asks the Court to dismiss Asset Acceptance LLC's (hereinafter "Asset
Acceptance" Complaint due to Asset Acceptance's failure to comply with Pa. R. Civ. Proc.
1019(i).
2. The Complaint claims that Desfor breached an agreement between it and Desfor.
3. Rule 1019(i) provides that a plaintiff must attach the material portions of any
writing upon which its complaint is based. To the extent that the writing is unavailable to the
plaintiff, the plaintiff must so state and provide the reason therefore and then set forth the
substance of the missing provisions in writing.
4. The terms of the agreement between the parties are certainly material to the
Complaint as Asset Acceptance is alleging Desfor breached that agreement but has failed to
attach the agreement to the Complaint.
Asset Acceptance has failed to comply with Pa. R. Civ. Proc. 1019(i) and has not
attached the material portions of the agreement upon which its cause of action is based; nor has
Asset Acceptance alleged that the agreement is unavailable, nor has it stated the reason why it is
not attached.
WHEREFORE, Desfor respectfully requests that the Court dismiss Asset Acceptance's
Complaint because it fails to conform to Pa. R. Civ. Proc. 1019(i).
