Is a Certificate of Service Needed for Motion to Dismiss

[kuap51103]

My question involves court procedures for the state of: Pennsylvania

I am a small business owner. A one-time customer has sued me in small claims (magisterial) court for less than $1200.00 I plan on filing a Motion to Dismiss on the following grounds:

Failure to state a claim upon which relief can
be granted.

Lack of subject matter or personal jurisdiction.

Both of which can be noticed simply by reading his complaint. At a court at this level, is a certificate of service needed to accompany the motion to the court?

You are required to serve a copy of your motion to dismiss (and any other pleadings you file in court) to the plaintiff by whatever means your state rules allows for.

A certificate of service is your affirmation to the court that you served the plaintiff as required by law.

[Mr. Knowitall]

I expect you're talking about this?

There shall accompany and be attached to the original of each pleading, submittal or other document filed with an agency when service is required to be made by the parties, a certificate of service in the form prescribed by § 33.36 (relating to form of certificate of service). All other copies filed shall be fully conformed thereto.

Shall is mandatory language - something you must do.

Funny thing is, I searched that PaCode website and couldn't find it...
