Defendant's Preliminary Objection based upon lack of conformity to Pa.R.Civ. P. 1018.1 and Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas Local Rule 1018.1-1 is denied. Defendant's Preliminary Objection for lack of capacity to sue is denied because Plaintiff's activities fall within those activities considered not to be doing business within the Commonwealth. Plaintiffs' activities are excluded under 15 Pa.C.S.A. §4122(a)(9) (1995). This statute states that transacting any business in interstate or foreign commerce does not constitute doing business within the Commonwealth. Therefore, Plaintiff is not a foreign corporation doing business within the Commonwealth and a certificate of authority is unnecessary.
