Penn. Blair Cnty. 310
If at least one attempt at service is made on the Complaint, and the service is not perfected, the Plaintiff must petition for alternative service of the Complaint, unless Plaintiff is able to reinstate the complaint (if necessary) and perfect service or suffer dismissal of the action.
Following the filing of the Complaint and perfected service, the Court by Order will schedule the case for a conciliation conference. See ATTACHMENT "C" There are preset dates set for these conferences monthly. For the purposes of the case, civil case management and further pleading deadlines are suspended pending the outcome of the conciliation conference. The Plaintiff shall come to the conciliation conference prepared to provide proof of damages in the form of the contract signed by the Defendant, the last billing statement sent by the Plaintiff or its predecessor, and written proof of any assignments that have taken place. In the event the Defendant has been served and does not appear at the conciliation conference, the Plaintiff may be granted a default judgment with prejudice. If the Plaintiff fails to appear at the conciliation conference with the required documentation, the court may dismiss the case with prejudice. A Continuance on the day of the Conference is discouraged. See ATTACHMENT "A"
A Consent Judgment/Order will be made available to the parties at the conciliation conference if an amicable resolution is reached. A Judge will be available at the time of the conciliation conference to review consent judgments and sign the consent judgment/order where appropriate. See ATTACHMENT "C-l."
If an agreement is not reached at the Conciliation Conference, the case will be tried by the Court.
