Motion to Dismiss Complaint
For Nonjoinder of Necessary Party Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028 (a)(5)
1. Plaintiffs action should have been filed against Pennsylvania Office Service Group Inc.
which is a registered corporation with the Pennsylvania Department of State located at
309 South 10th Street, Lemoyne, PA 17043 as set forth in Exhibit "A".
2. Plaintiffs Exhibit "B" to the Complaint clearly indicates that the invoice was directed to
Pennsylvania Office Service Group at 309 South 10th Street, Lemoyne, PA 17043.
3. Instead of filing this action against Pennsylvania Office Service Group Inc. Plaintiff filed
this action against an employee of the corporation (Gary Wilkins) and an alleged entity
named Penn Office Service Group.
4. Plaintiff has failed to join Pennsylvania Office Service Group Inc. as the Defendant in
this civil action.
5. Pennsylvania Office Service Group Inc. is indispensable to the adjudication of Plaintiffs'
claim.
6. Our Courts have defined this requirement as: "A party is indispensable and must be
joined when his rights are so connected with claims at issue in an action that any relief
granted will infringe upon those rights. A party is necessary, although not indispensable,
if his presence is needed to resolve the dispute and render complete relief. Thus, for
example parties with joint interests in the subject matter of an action must be joined."
See Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission v. School District of Philadelphia,
167 Pa. Commw. 1, 651 A.2d 177 (1994) and Pa. R.Civ.P. 2227 cited in Pashkes v.
Magyar et al., 2 Pa. D.& C. 5t" 308 at 316 (2007).
7. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1028 (a)(5) permits the filing of a preliminary
objection to a complaint in the event of the "nonjoinder of a necessary party" to the
action.
8. Plaintiff's complaint must be stricken as written or it must be amended to withdraw Gary
Wilkins as a named Defendant and correct the caption to reflect the Defendant as
Pennsylvania Office Service Group, Inc.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff's Complaint does not conform to law or rule of court and,
therefore, in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 1028 (a)(5) should be stricken as failing to join a
necessary party and improperly including an employee of the Defendant as a named
Defendant without providing a factual basis for Mr. Wilkins to be a party.
Motion for More Specific Pleading Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1028 (a)(3)
9. Plaintiff's Complaint does not identify whether the action is based upon an oral or
written contract/s.
10. Plaintiff's Complaint does not specify whether any oral or written contract/s have
been satisfied and paid in full.
11. Plaintiff s Complaint consists of a lump sum request.
12. Plaintiffs Complaint does not allege the date any oral or written contract was
created and/or allegedly breached.
13. Plaintiff s Complaint in Paragraph 5 states the "sold and delivered goods, wares
and merchandise" but the Complaint identifies no merchandise and consists of an
invoice with no items or delivery dates but simply a lump sum reduced by three
payments and a credit.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs Complaint does not conform to law or rule of court
and, therefore, in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 1028 (a)(3) should be stricken as being
insufficiently specific.
