Berks Cnty. C.P. Civil Rules Rule 227.4
Entry of Judgment by Prothonotary
All judgments except those entered upon default or under a warrant of attorney or confession shall
be entered by the prothonotary on receipt of a praecipe showing all data requisite to establish a present
right to the entry thereof. When no appearance has been entered by or on behalf of the defendant, the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act, 50 U.S.C.A. App. Section 520, shall apply, and before any
judgment shall be entered the required affidavits shall be filed by the plaintiff, setting forth the facts
showing that the defendant is not in the military service of the United States, and if the plaintiff is without
knowledge, it shall be so stated in an affidavit setting forth what efforts had been made to ascertain the
facts. The affidavit of non-military service shall be filed on the date the praecipe is filed.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
