James cecil Greer and Linda Greer. and in support thereof.
avers as follows:
FAILURE OF PLEADING TO CONFORM TO LAW
OR RULE OF COURT - Pa. R.C.P. 102S(al (21
1. On or about April 24, 1995. the plaintiffs, James
Cecil Greer and Linda Greer filed a Complaint against the
Defendant. stephen M. Behrens, in which they aver that
there was an agreement entered into by the Plaintiffs and
the Defendant whereby plaintiffs loaned Defendant the sum of
Eight Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($8,000.00) plus interest
at a rate of twelve percent (12%).
2. The plaintiffs have failed to attach to their
Complaint a copy of the agreement evidencing the alleged
agreement entered into by the Plaintiffs and the Defendant
by which plaintiffs loaned to Defendant in the sum of Eight
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($8,000.00) plus interest at the
rate of twelve percent (12%).
3. plaintiffs have failed to aver that the alleged
agreement was verbal and that no written agreement exists.
4. Pa. R.C.P. 1019(h) provides that a pleading shall
state specifically whether any claim or defense set forth
therein is based upon a writing. If so. the pleader shall
attach a copy of the writing or a material part thereof, but
2
if the writing or copy is not accessible to him, it is
sufficient so to state, together with the reason, and to set
forth the substance of the writing.
5. Plaintiffs have failed to comply with Pa. R.C.P.
1019 in that they have failed to attach a copy of the
writing which evidences the alleged agreement between the
Plaintiffs and the Defendant.
WHEREFORE. Defendant. stephen M. Behrens, respectfully
requests that this Honorable Court dismiss the Plaintiffs'
Complaint for its failure to conform to law or rule of Court
and to further award Defendant. Stephen M. Behrens, all
such other relief as is proper and just. In the
alternative, Defendant, Stephen M. Behrens, respectfully
requests that this Honorable Court direct the Plaintiffs to
amend their complaint to include a copy of the writing
which evidences the alleged agreement reached between the
Plaintiffs and the Defendant and further award Defendant,
Stephen M. Behrens. all such other relief as is proper and
just.
3
9. Pa. R.C.P. 2252 (a) provides, in pertinent part,
that any defendant may join as an additional defendant any
person, whether or not a party to the action, who may be
jointly or severally liable with the joining party on the
plaintiff's cause of action.
10. Pa. R.C.P. 2227(a) provides that persons only
having a joint interest in the subject matter of an action
must be joined on the same side as the plaintiffs or
defendants.
11. Plaintiffs' daughter. Tammy s. Behrens, has a
joint interest in the subject matter of the pending action
and therefore must be joined on the same side as the
Defendant as the alleged obligation on which the Plaintiffs
have brought their action concerns a marital obligation.
WHEREFORE, Defendant. stephen M. Behrens, respectfully
requests that this Honorable Court dismiss the Plaintiffs'
Complaint for its failure to join a necessary party and to
further award Defendant, stephen M. Behrens, all such other
relief as is proper and just. In the alternative,

1991, whcreby thcy would lcnd Mr, Behrcns $8,000, having, at thc samc timc, themselves
borrowed that amount from thc Quakcr Oats Fcdcral Crcdit Union, According to thc complaint,
Bchrens agrecd to rcpay the plaintiffs at thc samc ratc and at thc same intercst as their loan with
thc Crcdit Union, Thcrc would bc 208 paymcnts of $50,09, Thc complaint furthcr alleges that
thcy furnishcd a chcck in the amount of $8,000,00 to Mr, Bchrcns, datcd May 10, 1991, and had
takcn out a loan from thc Crcdit Union thc day bcforc. Thc complaint allcgcs furthcr that thc
dcfendant has dcfaultcd on his paymcnts to thc plaintiffs, making nonc sincc May 1993, Thc
balancc duc on thc obligation is $6,853,96,
According to a factual avcrmcnt madc in thc prcliminary objcctions, thc district justicc,
bcforc whom this casc was hcard carlicr, madc thc dctermination that thc agrccmcnt allcgcdly
cntcrcd into bctwccn thc plaintiffs and thc dcfcndant was also cntcrcd into by thc dcfcndant's

appcal, howcvcr, indicatcs only that thc district justice awardcd thc plaintiff, Jamcs Grccr,
somcthing Icss than half of thc total amount c1aimcd against thc dcfcndant, Stcven Bchrens,
Nowhcrc docs any factual finding appcar which would support a conclusion that thc liability was
joint, Morcovcr, cvcn assuming such a finding, it would not bc binding on us,
U ndcr thc Pcnnsylvania Rulcs of Civil Procedurc, a pcrson who asscrts a causc of action
cx contractu may join as dcfcndants all or any onc or morc pcrsons allcgcd to bc Iiablc to him,
unlcss thc liability is solcly joint. Pa,R,C,P, 2229(d), If thc liability is solcly joint, thc othcr
pcrsons holding such a joint intcrcst must bc joincd as indispcnsablc partics, Pa,R.C.P, 2227,
Othcr than a refcrcnce to thc district justicc's vcrdict, thcrc arc no facts allegcd by either
party, in cithcr thc complaint or thc prcliminary objcctions, which suggcst that thc intcrcst in
controvcrsy is solcly joint in naturc, Abscnt at Icast an allcgation of a fact (as opposcd to a
conclusion) that such a joint intcrcst cxists, dcfcndant's prcliminary objcctions will bc dismissed,
It is noted that the issuc of subjcct mattcr jurisdiction is nonwaivcablc and may bc
