PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE IN
OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS
Plaintiff, Cynthia Baron Williams, respectfully submits the instant Response to the Rule
to Show Cause why the Motio$r to Dismiss should not be granted.
1. Admitted.
2. Denied and the Rules speak for themselves. By way of further response, the
matter has not been inactive ~ for "an extended period of time." The instant counsel for the
Defendants have been involved in this matter for less than three years, resulting in changes in the
settlement positions, stances of the parties, and the prosecution and defense of the case. (Exhibit
"A" attached hereto). This has occurred several times in the course of this action. A deposition
proposed by Defendants was delayed due to surgery and Counsel for Defendants was requested
to reschedule at a mutually agreeable time and place, inasmuch as the originally proposed
location was not wheelchair accessible. (Exhibit "B" attached hereto). Action has been taken on
the instant matter within the immediately preceding two years. In preparation for the proposed
deposition, Defendants served upon Plaintiff Interrogatories, followed by a Motion to Compel on
or about August 13, 2008 and an Order to Show Cause was issued some time thereafter. (Exhibit
"C" attached hereto). The Motion, a proceeding of record, was subsequently withdrawn upon
submission of Answers to Interrogatories. Counsel for Plaintiff was placed under the impression
that the Interrogatories promulgated by current counsel for Defendants were requested in
preparation for the deposition which was to proceed in order that pre-trial motions could be filed
or damages reassessed. Plaintiff stood ready for that agreed-to process and maintained the
expectation that the matter would proceed as agreed. Inasmuch as the further actions to take
place in this matter were agreed-to, Defendants should not be in a position to benefit as a result.
Furthermore, Pa. R.C.P. § 1901(a) provides for the tribunal, on its own motion, and not on the
motion of Defendants, to take such action. Moreover, other procedures specified, such as the
thirty days written notice for opportunity for hearing, have not taken place. Additionally,
Defendants have failed to assert or plead prejudice as a ground for their Motion.
3. Denied and the Rules speak for themselves. By way of further response, there
have been proceedings of record within the previous two years. Accordingly, the Prothonotary
leas not taken the actions specified by C.C.R.P. 228, and the procedures pursuant to that Rule
have not been implemented.
4. Denied. For the reasons noted in the preceding paragraphs, this pending action
does not fall within the confines of the Rules cited and the Defendants' request is out of order.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that the instant Motion to Dismiss be denied and a
discovery timeline issued in order that the deposition proposed by Defendants may proceed.
Respectfully Submitted,

Thank you for returning my call today regarding the scheduled deposition of Ms. Baron.
As we discussed, she recently had surgery to her foot and is wheelchair bound, and my office is
not handicapped accessible. She expects to be more mobile within one to two months, and
pursuant to our conversation, we will arrange a mutually agreeable time and place for the
deposition at that time.
Thank you for your courtesy. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
Very truly yours,

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA.
No. 96-1277 Civil Term
PETITION TO TERMINATE REPRESENTATION
Jason M. Weinstock, Esquire, and Jeffrey R. Schott, Esquire, and the Law Offices of Ira
H. Weinstock, P.C., respectfully submit the instant Petition to Terminate Representation of
Plaintiff in the above-captioned matter and, in support thereof, assert the following:
1. The attorney-client relationship in the current instance is governed by a fee
agreement between the client and Ira Weinstock, P.C., Jason M. Weinstock, Esquire and Jeffrey
R. Schott, Esquire, has also worked on the case.
2. In March 2011, the Court issued a Scheduling Order with deadlines relating to
discovery and trial listing.
3. Noting differences and difficulties working with the client dating back to the
previous fall and in the prior years, petitioning attorneys, for many months, requested the client
consider pursuing alternative representation. Alternative representation had not been obtained.
4. Petitioning attorneys have attempted to comply with the Court's Order and
requested materials regarding discovery responses and clarification on costs from the client.
Petitioning attorneys communicated the Court's April deadline to Plaintiff for responses.
Substantive responses have not been received.
5. On or about May 5, 2011, petitioning attorneys sent to the client two copies of a
letter outlining the importance of the situation and the discovery deadlines.
6. The client has not returned phone calls made in the last five weeks to follow up on
this matter by two attorneys. Substantive responses to the requests giving rise to the phone calls
would have been necessary in order to comply with the Court's Scheduling Order.
7. The client was sent an email on or about May 26, 2011 noting that the discovery
information still had not been received.
?. As a result of the lack of Plaintiff's cooperation, a Motion for Sanctions is
pending before the Court.
9. As a result of the lack of cooperation noted above, petitioning attorneys have been
and remain unable, despite best efforts, to abide by the Court's Order.
10. Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct 1.16(b)(6) provides that a lawyer may
withdraw from representing a client if the representation will result in an unreasonable financial
burden on the lawyer or has been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client.
H. Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct 1.16(b)(5) provides that a lawyer may
withdraw from representing a client if the client fails substantially to fulfill an obligation to the
lawyer regarding the lawyer's services and has been given reasonable warning that the lawyer
will withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled.
12. Pennsylvania Rule of Professional Conduct 1.16(b)(7) provides that a lawyer may
withdraw from representing a client if the client if other good cause for withdrawal exists.
13. In the current instance, representation has been rendered unreasonably difficult by
the client.
14. In the current instance, the client has failed substantially to fulfill obligations to
the lawyer to cooperate in the course of the case and to bear costs.
15. In the current instance, the client has been requested for a period of many months
to pursue other representation due to inability to agree and cooperate relative to the terms of
representation.
16. In the current instance, good cause to withdraw exists in that the attorneys bound
by the Orders of the Court cannot comply with those orders in light of the current circumstances.
17. In the current instance, good cause to withdraw exists in that the attorneys, absent
substantive communication with the client, cannot obtain permission or orders on methods to
proceed.
18. In the current instance, the client is not materially adversely affected because the
current circumstances render the attorneys' services completely ineffective and immaterial on
behalf of the client.
WHEREFORE, Petitioners respectfully request that the instant request to terminate
representation be Granted.
Respectfully Submitted,
