CONCISE STATEMENT OF MATTERS COMPLAINED OF ON APPEAL
AND now, comes Defendant through counsel, Michael D. Rentschler, Esquire, who files the
within Concise Statement of Matters Complained of on Appeal, as follows:
1. The Court erred as a matter of law by imposing and/or refusing to strike confession of judgment
against BVFR & Associates, LLC since said entity was not a party to the action sub judice and,
therefore, the Court had no jurisdiction over BVFR & Associates.
2. The Court erred as a matter of law because the striking of the Complaint and Confession of
Judgment against K. Jameson Lawrence, Esquire, as agent and managing partner of BVFR &
Associates by Order of Court dated August 16, 2010 served to quash all matters related thereto such
as late fees, etc, but the Order did not make that adequately clear.
3. The Order that denied the request to open and/or strike the judgment against BVFR & Associates,
LLC, should be reversed because the actual party against whom the complaint and the judgment by
confession was filed against was "K. Jameson Lawrence, Esquire, as agent and managing partner of
BVFR & Associates, LLC." and not filed against the entity, BVFR & Associates, LLC. Since the
action was not filed against the entity itself, but rather only against its agent and managing partner
(sic), the Judgment by Confession must be stricken as BVFR & Associates, LLC was not a party to
the litigation.

No. 1508 MDA 2010
Appeal from the Order Dated August 16, 2010
In the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County
Civil Division at No(s): 2010-02076
BEFORE: GANTMAN, OLSON, AND OTT, JJ.
MEMORANDUM*:
FILED: July 28, 2011
Appellant, K. Jameson Lawrence, Esquire, as agent and managing
partner of BVFR & Associates, LLC ("BVFR"), appeals from the order entered
in the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas, denying in part his
petition to strike off and/or open confessed judgment in favor of Appellee,
1300 Market, LLC. We affirm.
In its opinion, the trial court fully and correctly sets forth the relevant
facts and procedural history of this case. Therefore, we have no reason to
restate them.
Appellant raises one issue for our review:
*By: GANTMAN, J.
J-S41007-11
WHETHER THE ORDER GRANTING JUDGMENT BY
CONFESSION ENTERED AGAINST [BVFR], APPELLANT
HEREIN, SHOULD BE SET ASIDE BECAUSE BVFR WAS NOT
A PARTY IN THE CASE[?]
(Appellant's Brief at 3).
Our review of a court's order denying a petition to open a confessed
judgment is as follows:
We review a trial court's order denying a petition to strike
a confessed judgment to determine whether the record is
sufficient to sustain the judgment. A petition to strike a
judgment may be granted only if a fatal defect or
irregularity appears on the face of the record. Similarly,
we review the order denying Appellant's petition to open
the confessed judgment for an abuse of discretion. PNC
Bank v. Kerr, 802 A.2d 634, 638 (Pa.Super. 2002)[,
appeal denied, 572 Pa. 735, 815 A.2d 634 (2002)
(stating:] "A petition to open judgment is an appeal to the
equitable powers of the court. As such, it is committed to
the sound discretion of the hearing court and will not be
disturbed absent a manifest abuse of discretion.").
ESB Bank v. McDade, 2 A.3d 1236, 1239 (Pa.Super. 2010) (some internal
citations omitted).
After a thorough review of the record, the briefs of the parties, the
applicable law, and the well-reasoned opinion of the Honorable Edward E.
Guido, we conclude Appellant's issue merits no relief. The trial court opinion
comprehensively discusses and properly disposes of the question presented.
(See Trial Court Opinion, filed January 27, 2011, at 2-4) (finding: pleadings
leave no doubt that BVFR is party to action; complaint refers to defendant as
business entity with place of business at 1300 Market Street, Lemoyne, PA;
Appellant's petition to strike and/or open confessed judgment refers to BVFR
- 2 -
J-S41007-11
as defendant and party; moreover, even if caption is technically incorrect,
where party is sued by wrong name, but appears and defends itself on
merits of action, Pennsylvania law allows court to amend caption either
before or after judgment by substituting party's correct name; BVFR
defended itself on merits of Appellee's complaint; court's order granting
Appellant's petition to strike off and/or open confessed judgment against
Appellant in his individual capacity corrected any error in caption).'
Accordingly, we affirm on the basis of the trial court's opinion.Z
Order affirmed.
' Appellant also claims the court erred by denying in part his petition to
strike off and/or open confessed judgment because the terms of the parties'
lease provided a "20-day cure period," which gave Appellant twenty (20)
days from Appellee's notice of default/demand letter to remedy his
delinquent rent payment. Because Appellant did not include this claim in his
Rule 1925(b) statement, it is waived on appeal. See Commonwealth v.
Castillo, 585 Pa. 395, 888 A.2d 775 (2005) (stating any issues not raised in
Rule 1925(b) statement will be deemed waived); Lineberger v. Wyeth,
894 A.2d 141 (Pa.Super. 2006) (stating rules of appellate procedure apply to
criminal and civil cases alike; principles enunciated in criminal cases
construing those rules are equally applicable in civil cases).
z In its opinion, the court also discusses Appellant's grievance that the order
granting Appellant's petition to strike off and/or open confessed judgment
against Appellant in his individual capacity, did not adequately address
matters such as late fees. Because Appellant appears to have abandoned
this issue on appeal, we will give it no further attention.
