Defendants/Petitioners
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PETITION TO STRIKE JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION OR. IN
THE ALTERNATIVE. TO OPEN JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION
aim
PETITION TO STAY EXECUTION PURSUANT TO WRIT
AND NOW, come the Defendants, David B. Obenstine and Daisy
Obenstine, by and through their attorneys, wix, Wenger & Weidner
and Albert J. Hajjar, and file the following Petition to Strike
Judgment by Confession or, in the Alternative, to Open Judgment
by Confession and Petition to stay Execution Pursuant to Writ,
and in support thereof states as follows:
Factual Backqround
1. Plaintiffs/Respondents, John Sacco and Michele Sacco
McGahen, are adult individuals whose address is BOB South
7th Street, Las Vegas, Nevada B9101,
2, Defendants/Petitioners, David N. Obenstine and Daisy
Obenstine, are adult individuals residing at 1101 Lindham
Court 202, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
3, On or about February 15, 1992, the parties executed a
document titled Articles of Agreement (herein, the
"Agreement") which was recorded in the Cumberland County
Recorder of Deeds Office on February 19, 1992, A true and
correct copy of the Agreement is attached to Plaintiffs'
complaint in confession of JUdgment and is incorporated
herein by reference, As evidenced by the Agreement
Plaintiffs agreed to sell and Defendants agreed to purchase,
for the price of $210,000 (herein, the "Sales price"),
certain real estate located in Lower Allen Township,
pennsylvania (herein, the "property").
4. The Sales Price was to be paid as follows: $35,000 down
payment on February 15, 1992; thirty-six monthly interest
payments, each in the amount of $1,093.00, beginning on
March 1, 1992; and a balloon payment of $175,000 on February
28, 1995,
5. Pursuant to the Agreement, Defendants paid to Plaintiffs the
down payment of $35,000 on or about February 15, 1992.
6. Pursuant to the Agreement, Defendants paid to Plaintiffs
each of the required interest payments in the amount of
$1,093.00,
7, Defendants did not make the balloon payment on or before
February 28, 1995.
8, On March 15, 1995, Plaintiffs, through their counsel, filed
their complaint in confession of judgment and, on this same
day, caused the Cumberland County Prothonotary to enter a
judgment by confession for possession of the property
(herein, the "Judgment").
9. On March 15, 1995, Plaintiffs filed their Praecipe for Writ
of Execution seeking possession of the property,
- 2 -
.. -. -.. . .. -" - .
~ . , .
10, Defendants have acted in a timely fashion in filing their
petition, and Defendants have meritorious defenses to the
JUdgment.
Petition to strike Judqment
11, Paragraphs 1 through 10 are incorporated herein by reference
as if fully set forth,
12, paragraph 10 of the Agreement states, in pertinent part:
10. Possession on Default. If Buyer shall fail to
make when due or within thirty (30) days thereafter,
any payment required by Buyer under this Agreement or
shall in any other respect commit a breach of this
Agreement, Seller may, in Seller's discretion, declare
Buyer's right to occupy the premises to be terminated,
and upon notice thereof from Seller, Buyer agrees to
vacate and remove from the premises, and to have any
persons claiming by, under or through Buyer removed
from the premises, within fifteen (15) days after the
occurrence of the breach of [sic] after the passage of
the thirty (30) day period after the due date of a
payment, as the case may be, without the necessity of
legal proceedings.
Upon any such declaration terminating Buyer's
right to occupancy, Buyer hereby authorizes any
attorney of any court of record (including attorney for
Seller) to appear for Buyer in any court and confess
judgment in ejectment therein for the premises in favor
of Seller, or Seller's assigns, and against Buyer and
all persons claiming by, under or through Buyer, . .
13, Pursuant to Paragraph 10 of the Agreement, Defendants had
until March 30, 1995 to pay to Plaintiffs the balloon
payment.
14, Pursuant to Paragraph 10, on, but no sooner than, March 31,
1995, if the balloon payment was not made, Plaintiffs would
have been entitled to declare Defendants' right to occupy
the Property to be terminated,
- 3 -
15, Thereafter, Defendants would have been entitled to fifteen
(15) days during which to vacate the Property,
16. Plaintiffs never declared Defendants' right to occupy the
Property to be terminated,
17. Pursuant to Paragraph 10, Plaintiffs were not entitled to
file their complaint in confession of judgment or have
judgment by confession entered until at least April 14,
1995, and then, only if Plaintiffs had previously declared
Defendants' right to occupy the property to be terminated.
18, Plaintiffs had no authority to have the Judgment entered
against Defendants filed, and the Judgment is null and void
and of no legal effect,
19. There exist on the record of this case such defects as to
require the striking off of the judgment,
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court strike the Judgment in this case because it is
null and void and of no legal effect and because it was
improvidently entered, and grant such other relief as this Court
deems just and appropriate.
petition to open Judgment
20. Paragraphs 1 through 19 are incorporated by reference herein
as if fully set forth,
21, Pursuant to Paragraph 18 of the Agreement, Defendants were
entitled to lease the property upon obtaining the prior
written consent of Plaintiffs,
- 4 -
22, Defendants were unable to obtain financing necessary to make
the balloon payment because there was insufficient cash flow
associated with the Property.
23. Defendants have located a satisfactory tenant who is ready,
willing and able to occupy the Property,
24. If a tenant moves into the property and begins paying rent,
Defendants believe and therefore aver that there would be
i
1
I .
sufficient cash flow to obtain the necessary financing to
pay the balloon payment,
25, Defendants are unable to lease the Property to a prospective
tenant because Plaintiffs have unreasonably withheld their
consent to allow Defendants to so lease the Property,
26, Plaintiffs had an implied duty to deal fairly and in good
faith in granting consent to allow Defendants to lease the
Property.
27, Plaintiffs breached that duty when they unreasonably and in
bad faith withheld that consent,
28. Defendants have already paid to Plaintiffs the approximate
sum of $74,348.00 (i,e" the down payment and interest
payments) pursuant to the Agreement.
29, Defendants would have been able to make the balloon payment
in a prompt manner if Plaintiffs had not unreasonably and in
bad faith withheld their consent to allow Defendants to
lease the Property.
- 5 -
30. It was Plaintiffs' wrongful and unfair conduct which has
caused Defendants to be unable to obtain sufficient
financing to make the balloon payment.
31. To enable Plaintiffs to now regain possession of the
Property in the enforcement of the Judgment would allow
Plaintiffs to reap an unfair and inequitable profit and
would pose an undue hardship on Defendants, who will be
ready, willing and able to settle on the sale of the
Property promptly upon obtaining Plaintiffs' consent and
executing a lease with a prospective tenant.
32. Time is not of the essence in the Agreement, which was
drafted by Plaintiffs or their agents, and thus, Defendants
are entitled to a reasonable time period within which to
obtain the necessary financing and to settle on the sale of
the Property,
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court open the judgment by confession issued in this
case, .stay all proceedings to enforce said judgment and grant
such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate,
Petition to ODen JUdqrnent
33. Paragraphs 1 through 32 are incorporated herein by reference
as if fully set forth,
34. The Defendants believe and therefore aver that the judgment
by confession shOUld be opened for the following reasons:
- 6 -
,,~...~,..;~.~.... I '" . ~. . . ..,,~~-. ....
, , .
~
(a) The confession of judgment procedures utilized by
Plaintiffs are in derogation of Pennsylvania and United
states constitutional law in that there has been a
denial of due pr.ocess,
(b) The execution procedures that Plaintiffs are attempting
to utilize are in derogation of Pennsylvania and United
states constitutional law in that there has been a
denial of due process,
(c) Such other defenses as may become known to Defendants
during the pendency of this matter.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court open the judgment by confession issued in this
case, stay all proceedings to enforce said judgment and grant
such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.
Petition to stay Execution Pursuant to Writ
35, Paragraphs 1 through 34 are incorporated herein by reference
as if fully set forth,
36. Plaintiffs filed their Praecipe for writ of execution on
March 15, 1995.
37. The Writ was duly issued by the prothonotary and served on
Defendants on or about March 20, 1995,
38. Pursuant to Pa,R,C.P. 2959(b) and 3121(b) and (d), and
because the JUdgment is null and void and of no legal
effect, all proceedings on the writ should be stayed pending
the disposition of this matter on the merits,
;
"
!
- 7 -
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court stay all proceedings on the Writ and stay all
other proceedings to enforce the Judgment until the conclusion of
this matter on the merits.

Judgment by Confession and Petition to stay Execution
pursuant to Writ, with regard to the March Judgment, On or
about March 22, 1995, the Honorable Judge Kevin A, Hess
signed a Rule to show Cause issued to the Plaintiffs,
18. Plaintiffs have never answered Defendants' petition, and
Defendants' Petition is currently pending.
19. The March Judgment was still of record when Plaintiffs filed
the May JUdgment, and the March Judgment is still
unsatisfied and of record as of the date of this Petition.
20. Plaintiffs' complaint with regard to the May Judgment does
not include a statement of any assignment of the Agreement
as required by pa,R.Civ.P No, 2952(c).
21. Defendants received no notice of the May Judgment until June
2, 1995, when their counsel requested and received from
Plaintiffs' counsel a copy of same,
22, plaintiffs had no authority to have the May Judgment entered
against Defendants, and the May Judgment is null and void
and of no legal effect.
23. There exist on the record of this case such defects as to
require the striking off of the judgment,
24, The filing of the May Judgment, when they knew that the
March Judgment is being disputed, constitutes dilatory,
vexatious, obdurate, arbitrary and/or bad faith conduct by
Plaintiffs,
- 4 -
25. In the preparation, filing and litigating of this Petition,
Defendants have incurred and will continue to incur
attorneys' fees,
26. pursuant to 42 Pa,C,S. 52503 (7) and (9), Plaintiffs are
liable to Defendants for Defendants attorneys' fees.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court strike the Judgment in this case because it is
null and void and of no legal effect and because it was
improvidentlY entered, award Defendants their attorneys' fees
associated with the preparation, filing and litigating of this
petition, and grant such other relief as this Court deems just
and appropriate.
petition to ODen Judament
27, paragraphs 1 through 26 are incorporated by reference herein
as if fully set forth.
28, Defendants were unable to obtain financing necessary to make
the balloon payment.
29, Defendants believe and therefore aver that they have located
a prospective purchaser who is ready, willing and able to
buy the property.
30. If a purchaser buys the Property, Defendants believe and
therefore aver that they would be able to pay the balloon
payment,
31, Time is not of the essence in the Agreement, which was
drafted by plaintiffs or their agents, and thus, Defendants
- 5 -
are entitled to a reasonable time period within which to
obtain the necessary financing or cash and to settle on the
sale of the Property.
32, Defendants have already paid to Plaintiffs the approximate
sum of $74,348.00 pursuant to the Agreement.
33, Defendants would be able to make the balloon payment
promptly if they are able to provide the prospect a fee
simple deed,
34, To enable Plaintiffs to now regain possession of the
Property in the enforcement of the May Judgment would allow
Plaintiffs to reap an unfair and inequitable profit and
would pose an undue hardship on Defendants, who have at all
times acted reasonably and in good faith.
35, To date, Defendants have acted reasonably and in a
reasonable time period in their efforts to obtain the
requisite financing or cash to pay the balloon payment.
36. Because Defendants have acted promptly and have shown that
they have meritorious defenses to the May Judgment, the May
JUdgment should be opened,
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court open the judgment by confession issued in this
case, stay all proceedings to enforce said judgment and grant
such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate,
- 6 -
Petition to ODen Judgment
37, paragraphs 1 through 36 are incorporated by reference herein
as if fully set forth,
38, Pursuant to Paragraph 18 of the Agreement, Defendants were
entitled to lease the property upon obtaining the prior
written consent of Plaintiffs,
39. Defendants were unable to obtain financing necessary to make
the balloon payment because their was insufficient cash flow
associated with the Property,
40, In or after February 1995, Defendants located a prospective
tenant who was ready, willing and able to occupy a portion
of the Property.
41. If that prospective tenant had moved into the property and
began paying rent, Defendants believe and therefore aver
that there would have been sufficient cash flow to obtain
the necessary financing to make the balloon payment.
42, Defendants were unable to lease a portion of the Property
because Plaintiffs unreasonably withheld their consent to
allow Defendants to so lease the Property.
43. Plaintiffs had an implied duty to deal fairly and in good
faith in granting consent to allow Defendants to lease all
or a portion of the property,
44. Plaintiffs breached that duty when they unreasonably and in
bad faith withheld that consent.

45,
Defendants have already paid to Plaintiffs the approximate
sum of $74,348,00 pursuant to the Agreement,
Defendants would have been able to make the balloon payment
in a prompt manner if Plaintiffs had not unreasonably and in
bad faith withheld their consent to allow Defendants to
lease the Property.
It was Plaintiffs' wrongful and unfair conduct which has
caused Defendants to be unable to obtain sufficient
financing to make the balloon payment,
To enable Plaintiffs to now regain possession of the
property in the enforcement of the May Judgment would allow
Plaintiffs to reap an unfair and inequitable profit and
would pose an undue hardship on Defendants, who have at all
times acted reasonably and in good faith,
Time is not of the essence in the Agreement, which was

are entitled to a reasonable time period within which to
obtain the necessary financing or cash and to settle on the
sale of the Property,
To date, Defendants have acted reasonably and in a
reasonable time period in their efforts to obtain the
requisite financing or cash to pay the balloon payment,
Because Defendants have acted promptly and have shown that
they have meritorious defenses to the May Judgment, the May
Judgment should be opened,

WHEREFORE, Defendants resp~ctfully request that this
Honorable Court open the judgment by confession issued in this
case, stay all proceedings to enforce said judgment and grant
such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.
-.,
Petition to ODen Judqment
52, Paragraphs 1 through 51 are incorporated herein by reference
as if fully set forth,
53. The Defendants believe and therefore aver that the May
Judgment should be opened for the following reasons:
(a) The confession of judgment procedures utilized by
Plaintiffs are in derogation of pennsylvania and united
states constitutional law in that there has been a
denial of due process.
(b) The execution procedures that Plaintiffs are attempting
to utilize are in derogation of pennsylvania and united
states constitutional law in that there has been a
denial of due process,
(c) Such other defenses as may become known to Defendants
during the pendency of this matter.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court open the judgment by confession issued in this
case, stay all proceedings to enforce said judgment and grant
such other relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.

Petition to stay Exeoution Pursuant to writ
54, Paragraphs 1 through 53 are incorporated herein by reference
as if fully set forth,
55. Plaintiffs filed their Praecipe for writ of execution on or
about May 25, 1995,
56. The Writ was duly issued by the Prothonotary and served on
Defendants on or about May 31, 1995,
57, Pursuant to Pa,R.C.P. 2959(b) and 3121(b) and (d), and
because the Judgment is null and void and of no legal
effect, all proceedings on the Writ should be stayed pending
the disposition of this matter on the merits.
WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request that this
Honorable Court stay all proceedings on the Writ and stay all
.
other proceedings to enforce the Judgment until the conclusion of
this matter on the merits,
