2. The name(s) and last known address(es) of the Defendant(s) are:
ALEXANDRA C. LEEDY, IN HER CAPACITY AS
EXECUTRIX AND DEVISEE OF THE ESTATE OF
CONNIE J. LEEDY
1141 NORTH PHEASANT DRIVE, A/K/A 1141 PHEASANT DRIVE NORTH
CARLISLE, PA 17013
who is/are the real owner(s) of the property hereinafter described.
3. On 05/18/2009 CONNIE J. LEEDY made, executed and delivered a mortgage upon the
premises hereinafter described to MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION
SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED AS A NOMINEE FOR BANK OF ANN ARBOR which
mortgage is recorded in the Office of the Recorder of CUMBERLAND County, in
Mortgage Instrument No. 200917248. By Assignment of Mortgage recorded 11/30/2010
the mortgage was assigned to PLAINTIFF which Assignment is recorded in Assignment
of Mortgage Instrument No. 201034882. 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 07/01/2010 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
File #: 255200

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.
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.
By virtue of the death of William J. Leedy on 07/16/2008, Connie J. Leedy became the
sole owner of the mortgaged premises as surviving tenant by the entireties.
File #: 255200
10. Mortgagor Connie J. Leedy died on 05/28/2010, leaving a Will dated 09/23/2008. Letters
Testamentary were granted to Alexandra C. Leedy on 06/16/2010 in Cumberland County,
No. 21-10-0613. Decedent's surviving heir(s) at law and next-of-kin is Alexandra C.
Leedy.
11. Plaintiff does not hold the named Defendant(s), Alexandra C. Leedy, personally liable on
this cause of action. This action is being brought to foreclose the interest of the said
Defendant(s) in the aforesaid real estate only, and the Defendant(s) has/have been named
in accordance with the requirements of Pa R.C.P. 1144(a)(2) and 20 Pa.C.S.A. § 301(b).
File #: 255200
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands an in rem judgment against the Defendant(s) in the sum of
$67,941.35, together with interest from 10/30/2010 at the rate of $8.6529 per diem to the date of
judgment, and other costs, fees, and charges collectible under the mortgage, including but not
limited to attorney fees and costs, and for the foreclosure and sale of the mortgaged property.
