<center>When It Comes To Luzerne County Pennsylvania, Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid</center>
The Estate of Bryan Kocis is claiming victory in its civil lawsuit against Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes

Michael Kocis’ suit, filed in Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas, claimed Cuadra and Kerekes entered Bryan Kocis’ home and “jointly” or “separately” caused Bryan Kocis’ death and destroyed the home and property.

But neither suspect responded to the suit, according to court papers. That led to a default judgment being entered against both of them last week, and a judgment entered in favor of the estate, Michael Kocis’ attorney, Conrad Falvello said Tuesday. Timesleader

This Is Going To Get Interesting

Bryan Kocis’ Estate has ( a ) served civil process on Cuadra and Kerekes when under PA law Cuadra and Kerekes appear to be immune to the service of civil process; and ( b ) obtained a default judgment “apparently” from SOME LUZERNE COUNTY JUDGE (although, some times the entry of default is done by the clerk of the court, not by a judge).

I assume that The Defense Teams for Cuadra and Kerekes intend to use the processing of the Civil Suit to support their motion for A Change of Venue for the murder trials of Cuadra and Kerekes. It seems to be that the fact that Bryan Kocis’ Estate managed to serve civil process on two guys who are immune to the civil process is A VERY GOOD ARGUMENT for a change of venue.

In order to serve process on two guys who are in jail, don’t you need the assistance of THE STATE to effect service? And, remember that Cuadra and Kerekes are in jail facilities in TWO DIFFERENT COUNTIES. Harlow Cuadra is not in a Luzerne County jail facility.

It will also be interesting to see if The Estate of Bryan Kocis actually has the balls to CROSS STATE LINES with their little judgment and SUSPECT legal arguments (i.e., that Bryan Kocis’ Father and Mother were dependent on Bryan Kocis for their care and support and as a result they had standing to file a wrongful death suit).

If The Estate of Bryan Kocis makes any attempt to try to enforce their judgment in the State of Virginia, Things Are Going To Get Interesting.

The last time I checked, in order to enforce and out of state judgment in Virginia, you have to Petition a Judge. Technically, this means that a Virginia Judge has to look at the Default Judgment Bryan Kocis’ Estate obtained and determine if the judgment is valid and enforceable in order for Byan Kocis’ Estate to take any actions to enforece the judgment in the State of Virginia.

Like I said, things are going to get interesting if Bryan Kocis’ Estate CROSSes State Lines with their Judgment.
