MOTION FOR SERVICE BY PUBLICATION
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Dickinson College ("Plaintiff'), by and through its attorneys
MARTSON DEARDORFF WILLIAMS OTTO GILROY AND FALLER, and moves the Court as
follows:
On October 3, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Complaint against Defendant Richard Highley
("Defendant"). A cause of action exists against Defendant and Defendant is the necessary and proper
party to the action.
2. The original Complaint in this action was delivered to the Sheriff of Cumberland
County, who deputized the Sheriff of Montgomery County for personal service thereof upon the
Defendant. On November 8, 2011, the Sheriff returned a Sheriff's Return of Service stating that
service was not made at Defendant's last known address of 675 Woodlawn Drive, Lansdale, PA
19446, because Defendant's brother had informed the Sheriff that Defendant no longer resided at
that address.
3. Plaintiff, through its counsel, has made a good faith effort to locate Defendant by
inquiring at the postal authorities, searching nationwide telephone directories, and searching criminal
records.
4. Plaintiff, through its attorney, utilized Accurint to locate Defendant, but again, the
address(es) returned were the addresses listed in the Complaint and/or attempted by the Sheriff, and
the examinations of, among other things, the phone, voter, tax, and motor vehicle records failed to
locate Defendant.
5. An affidavit pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 430 is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
6. It is the Plaintiff's contention that normal service of Defendant under Pa. R.C.P. 400
and service by mail under Pa. R.C.P. 403 are not possible in this case.
7. Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to order service of the Complaint by
publication in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 430.
8. Plaintiff has conducted the necessary examinations to fulfill the good faith effort
requirement of Rule 430.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this Court issue an Order directing service by publication.
Respectfully submitted,
