Re: Cumberland County Tax Claim Bureau v.
Shuman-Carlisle Mall Associates
No. 1995-882 Civil Term
Dear Judge Oler:
Pursuant to your request I discussed the rule retumable date with the attorney
for SunLife, which I expect will be the sole active respondent to the Petition. During
our conversation we agreed to 30 days and thereafter I received Attorney Ellison's
letter of February 24, 1995, a copy of which is enclosed. We respectfully request,
therefore, that the rule be made returnable on March 25, 1995.
~

I suspect that the parties will be able to stipulate to the facts and that, therefore,
there will not be a need for an evidentiary hearing. Would it be your desire for the
March 25, 1995 date to be simply the date on which a reply Is due and thereafter
argument scheduled, or would you prefer to have the parties present and available
on that date for argument? Since March 25th is a Saturday, I will hold both Friday,
March 24, 1995 and Monday, March 27,1995 available for such argument.
In the meantime, we hope that the matter will be resolved by payment of the
taxes.
Sincerely yours,

then make distribution, assuming no exceptions are filed.

Cause was unnecessary as the applicable statute provides for the automutic appointment of a
sequestrator with a Rule only being required if any tenants refused to pay rent to the sequestrator.

as sequestrator until it is determined whether or not any exceptions will be filed to the proposed
Schedule of Distribution in the Sheriff's Sale of the property, and whether or not the proposed
Schedule of Distribution will result in the prompt payment of aU tuxes due.
