VACATE JUDGHBNT AND NOW comes the above-named Defendant, by its attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and moves this Court to strike or vacate the judgment entered against Defendant in this matter, based upon the fOllowing: 1. The moving party herein is the Defendant. Pennco Trucking. Inc., which maintains offices at 6th and Water Streets. New Cumberland. Cumberland county. Pennsylvania. 2. The Respondent herein is the Plaintiff, Walpert Smulian & Blumenthal, P.A.. a business association with offices at 29 West Susquehanna Avenue, Towson, Maryland. [I 3. In 1992. Plaintiff approached Defendant and proposed that Plaintiff do certain Ii I professional accounting work for Defendant. I 4. FOllowing negotiations between Plaintiff and Defendant, Defendant engaged I Plaintiff to do certain accounting work for a fee with a guaranteed maximum established I by Defendant during the negotia tions. , i i 5. All negotiations which led to Defendant's engagement of Plaintiff, and all I i communications regarding that engagement, took place in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. , , Defendant, and none of Defendant's representatives, met with Plaintiff or its representatives anywhere other than New Cumberland during those discussions. 6. Thereafter, Plaintiff performed various accounting services for Defendant. To perform those professional accounting services for Defendant, Plaintiff and its agents " ,. 1 and employees came to Defendant's place of business in New Cumberland. At no time during the performance of work by Plaintiff did Defendant or its employees or agents appear at Plaintiff's place of business in Maryland or journey to Maryland for the purpose of Plaintiff's work for Defendant. 7. Plaintiff sUbsequently submitted statements to Defendant for total fees in excess of $10,657.00. 8. Defendant disputed Plaintiff's fees and charges, for reasons set forth below. When the parties could not resolve that dispute, Plaintiff commenced suit against Defendant before the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore County. 9. When Defendant did not appear at a proceeding scheduled by the court in Maryland, which proceeding was apparently scheduled in January of 1995, Plaintiff obtained a default jUdgment against Defendant from that court. 10. Plaintiff has now entered jUdgment against Defendant before the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, to the above term and number, on the basis of the jUdgment obtained by Plaintiff against Defendant by the District Court of Maryland for Baltimore County. 11. The courts of Maryland did not have jurisdiction over Defendant at the time judgment was entered in that court against Defendant, and do not have jurisdiction over I Defendant now. for the fOllowing reasons: ! A. Defendant did not conduct business in Maryland at any time relevant I il I I I I , , to the suit there. B. The contract between the parties was formed in Pennsylvania and resulted entirely from negotiations and discussions in Pennsylvania. C. All work done pursuant to the contract between the parties was done in Pennsylvania. 2 D. All transactions and occurrences related to the conduct between the parties which gives rise to Plaintiff's claim against Defendant occurred in Pennsylvania. E. Defendant did not have minimum contacts with Maryland sufficient to justifY exercise of jurisdiction over Defendant by the courts of Maryland. F. Dafendant did not purposefully direct its activities at Plaintiff or other residents of Maryland so as to give the courts of Maryland jurisdiction over Defendant or the dispute between Plaintiff and Defendant. To the contrary, Plaintiff purposefully directed its activities at Defendant, a resident of Pennsylvania. G. An exercise of jurisdiction over Defendant in this matter by the courts of Maryland would transcend traditional notice of fair play and substantial justice. 12. Defendant has valid defenses to Plaintiff's claim which it wishes to litigate before the curt of appropriate jurisdiction. Those defenses include: A. Plaintiff assured Defendant that Plaintiff's services would not cost more than $5,600.00 and, in reliance upon that promise by Plaintiff, Defendant engaged Plaintiff to do the accounting work for Plaintiff. B. Plaintiff's work was not done in a timely and competent fas~lon and, as a result, was of no use or benefit to Defendant and violated the terms of Defendant's engagement of Plaintiff. c. Plaintiff never competently completed its work for Defendant. 13. Because the courts of Maryland did not have jurisdiction over Defendant, and entered a default judgment against Defendant, Defendant will be deprived of its fair I II ,I 3 II II ii I opportunity to raise and litigate these defenses unless this court declines to enforce the Maryland jUdgment. 14. The jUdgment of the court of Maryland is not entitled to full faith and credit because it was obtained without lawful jurisdiction over Defendant. 15. Defendant will be irreparably harmed if this Court enforces the judgment of the court of Maryland which has now been entered against Defendant here. 16. Striking the jUdgment entered in this matter will not cause Plaintiff any undue prejudice but will only force Plaintiff to bring its action against Defendant in a court with proper and lawful jurisdiction. 17. Plaintiff has issued execution against the assets of Defendant. Unless that execution is stayed until this Court determines the claims raised in this motion, Defendant will suffer irreparable harm because its assets will be exposed to sale by the Sheriff of Cumberl~nd County and it will lose its due process rights as a result. WHBRBfORE, Pennco Trucking, Inc., moves this Court to do the fOllowing: A. Issue its rule on the Plaintiff to show cause, if any the Plaintiff has, why the relief prayed for herein should not be granted and Plaintiff's motion should not be stricken or vacated; and B. Stay all execution or other enforcement proceedings in this action until this Court has finally decided Defendant's motion; and C. After hearing or other fact-finding process, strike or vacate the judgment entered against Defendant in this matter. ~, Sam L. An Attorney for Defendant Supreme Court ID 17225 ~~ 4
