CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 96-4105
WEST PUBLISHING CORPORATION,
PlaintiU
NEIL H. SANDERS, II,
O.t.ndant
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
IN RBI PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR JUDGM!NT ON THE PLIADIHGS
BEFORE SHIILY. P.J.. end HISS. J.
Qf)NION AND O~IR OF COURT
Before this Court ie Plainti.ff's Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings. We heard argument on this matter on March 5, 1997.
FACTS
On July lB, 1996, West Publishing Corp. filed a Complaint
against Defendant Neil H. Sanders. The relevant portions of
Plaintiff's Complaint allege as followsl
3. Plaintiff sold and delivered law books and related
items to Defendant, and same are itemized as to dates
and charges upon statement attached hereto as exhibits
1 to 11.
4. Plaintiff has submitted to Defendant statements
reflecting charges and the interest shown on the
Exhibits 1 through 11, amounting to $12,7B5.5l through
March 2B, 1996, as to which Defendant has not objected,
and therefore an account stated in the amount certain
of $12,7B5.51 has been made between Plaintiff and
Defendant through March 2B, 1996.
Plaintiff requests judgment in the amount of $12,7B5.~1, plus
interest from March 2B, 1996.
On December 31, 1996, Defendant Sanders filed an Answer to
Complaint. As a response to the above pleadings, Defendant
alleges the followingl
3. Sanders admits Defendant sold a Compressed Disk
legal system to Sanders, but Sanders denies the
NO. 96-4105 CIVIL ACTION - LAW
attached itemized charges contained in paragraph J of
Defendant's Complaint are correct.
4. Sander s denies the allegation contained in
paragraph 4 of Defendant's Complaint. AddJ.tionally,
Sanders mailed to Pl~intiff's former counsel, Peter
Ramsey Helt, Esq., Baylinson, Kudysh AND Greenberg,
39Q5 National Drive, Suite 400, Burtollsville, Maryland
20B66 his objection to the alleged debt on May 29,
1996.
Furthermore, Defendant briefly sets forth four affirmative
defenses which includel Plaintiff failed to obtain proper
servioe of process upon Sanders, this Court lacks personal
jurisdiction over answering Defendant, Plaintiff insufficiently
served Sanders with process, and Plaintiff failed to join an
indispensable party and Sanders cannot obtain full and complete
relief.
On August 29, 1996, Defendant filed preliminary objections
to Plaintiff'e oomplaint. Subsequently, on December 12, 1996,
these preliminary objeotions were dismissed. On January 15,
1997, Plaintiff West filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings
alleging that "Defendant, i.n si.mply denying that the itemized
charges are correct and in pleading afformative [sic] defenses
that do not answer the Complaint on the merits, has failed to set
forth a legal defense to the whole of the claim." (Motion for
Judgment on the Pleadings, at' 2).
IllSCUSSION
When determining a motion for judgment on the pleadJ.ngs, the
court must accept as true all well-pleaded statements of fact,
admissions, and any documents properly attached to the pleadings
2
NO. 96-4105 CIVIL ACTION - LAW
presented by the party against whom the motion is filed,
considering only those facts which were specifically admitted.
Shirley v. Javan, ___ Pa.Super. ___, 6B4 A.2d 10BB, 10B9 (1996).
The court may grant judgment on the pleadings only where the
moving party's right to succeed is certain and the case is so
free from doubt that trial would clear.ly be a fruitless exercise.
rd.
Plaintiff West contends that the Answer filed by Defendant
in this case is insufficient and judgment should be entered in
favor of Plaintiff. More specifically, West challenges Sanders'
responses to paragraphs 3 and 4 and alleges that an anower merely
denying liability, without averring specific facts relating
thereto, is evas~ve and ineufficient to prevent judgment.
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil pr.ocedure 1029(b) provides as
followsl
Averments in a pleadlng to which a responsive pleading
is required are admitted when not denied specifically
or by necessary implication. A general denial or a
demand for proof . . . shall have the effect of an
admission.
In Swift v. Milner, 371 Pa.Super. 302, 538 A.2d 28 (19BO), the
Pennsylvania Superior Court held that a trial court correctly
granted a partial judgment on the pleadings where the defendant
answered plaintiff's complaint by merely answering "Denied." rd.
at 30B, 538 A.2d at 31. The Superior Court agreed with the trial
court's conclusion that these general denials effectively
manifssted defendant's admission to the facts averred. rd.
3
NO. 96-4105 CIV1.L ACTION - LAW
Xn the present case, Defendant did not merely reply "Denied"
to Plaintiff's allegations. Instead, Dufendant provided some
additional information to justify his response. Contrary to
Plaintiff's assertions that Defendant failed to set forth legal
defenees to support his claim, this pro se Defendant provided
some additional insight as to why he disagreed with the
Plaintiff's allegations. More specifically, in response to
Plaintiff's paragraph 3, Oefendant admitted that he bought the
softwar.e, but denied that the charges are correct. Furthermore,
in response to Plaintiff's paragraph 4, Defendant stated that he
denied the allegations because he did attompt to object to the
oharges by mailing to Plaintiff's former counsel his objection to
the alleged debt on May 29, 1996.
These allegations are sufficient to support Defendant's
denial. We cannot say that Plaintiff's right to succeed is
certain and the case is so free from doubt that trial would
clearly be a fruitless exercise. Consequently, Plaintiff'.
Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings is DENIED.
ORDER
AND NOW, this ;'''Nd day of MAY, 1997, after caret'ul
oonsideration, Plaintiff's Motion for Judgment on the Pleadingo
is DENIED.

'1'0 WT.'l'HS'1'I\.ND TilE MOnON OF PLAIN'l'IFF
FOR JUDGMENT ON 'rilE: PLEADINGS?
II, BACKGROUND
Plaintiff above named instituted an action in assumpsit
againat Defendant to recover the sum of $12,785,51, plus interest from
January 28, 1996, for law books and related items aold and delivered to
him, After Defendant's PrelimJ.nary Obj ections were overruled,
Defendant, in response to Paragraph 3 of the Complaint, wherein
Plaintiff averred that the law books and related items were itemized as
to dates and charges upon the statemento at~.ched as Exhibits I to 11,
answered that he admits that Defendant (obv_oualy Sanders meant to say
Plaintiff) sold a computerized disk legal system to Sanders but denies
that the attached itemized charges contained in Paragraph 3 of
Plaintiff's Complaint are correct -- without setting forth how or why
same are not correct.
To Paragraph 4 of the Complaint, wherein Plaintiff averred
accounts stated, Defendant simply denied the allegations of Paragraph 4 i
,
and claimed that he had mailed to Plaintiff's form~r counsel in
Maryland, his objections to the I;Illeged debt, but wJ,thout attaching any
copy of any such response. In the following paragraphs, Defandant set
forth 1\ bunch of aEfit'mative defenses.
Following the closing of the pleadings, Plaintiff has filed a
Motion for Judgment 011 tho Pleadings, and that is the matter now before
the Court.
I II . ARGUMEN'l'
'l'HE ANSWER SHOULD BE 'l'REATED AS AN
ADMISSION AND JUDGMEN'l' ENTERED IN
FAVOR OF PLAINTIFF.
It has been decided time and again that an answer merely
denying liability, without averring specific facts relating thereto, is
evasive and insufficient to prevent judgment. Seel Atlantic Refininq
Co. v. DeSanto, 32 Dauphin liD, Butler Brothers v. Bauqhman, 55 Dauphin
51 (1944), West Publishinq Co. v. Clark, 11 Phila. Rep. 613 (1964), and
Swift v. ~~.\tlner, 536 A. 2d 26 (Pa. Super, 1966) at Page 31. lllU.sl
general denials berttt of any demand for proof or averment of reasonable
investigation or possession of knowledge by adverse party or hostile
person constitute admission under Pa. R.C.P. 1029.
See I BoqlllV.
lIartiml & ReeBe v. Stuart, 11 D. & C, 3d 303 (1979), Medusa Portland
Cf;lment Co. v. Marion Coal & sup~lv co., 201 A. 2d 285, 204 Pa. Super. 5
(1985) at Page 8, and Fulton Farmers Assn. v. Bombe~, 262 Pa. 43
(1918) at Page 46.
The so-called affh'mative defenses are in no way sufficient to
stop the entry of judgment in this matter, and therefore no additional

'10 WEST PUBLXSHING V. NEIL SANDERS
Plaintiff's Motion for Judgment on the Pleadin9s
Brief of Plainikl1
FAC'l'S
West instituted an action in assumpsit against Sanders to
recover the sum of $12,7B5.51, plus intsrest from 1/28/96, for
law books and related items Bold and do livered to him.
LBGAL S'l'ANDARDS
The court must accept as true all well-pleaded statements of
fact, admissiollS, and any documents properly attached to the
pleadi.ngs prellonted by the party against whom the motion is
filed. Judgment on the pleadings may not be granted unless the
movant's right to eucceed is certain and the case is so free from
doubt that trial would cloarly be 8 fruitless exercise.
PLEADINGS
In their complaint, Wsst alleges that they "sold and
delivered law books and related items to Defendant, and same are
itemized as to dates and charges upon the statements attached
hereto as Exhibits 1 to 11." Complaint, para. 3. In his Answer
to Complaint, Sanders admitR Plaintiff's paragraph 3 but denied
"the attached.itemizedJharged contained in paragraph 3 of
[Plaintiff'sJIComplain lare correct." Answer. 9ara. 3.
In paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's Complaint, they allege that
"Plaintiff has submitted to Defendant statements reflecting
charges and the interest shown on the Exhibita 1 through 11,
amounting to $12,7B5.5l through March 28, 1996, as to which
Defendant has not objected, and therefore an account stated in
the amount certain of $12,7B5.51 has been made between Plaintiff
and Defendant through March 2B, 1996."
Sanders denied the allegations in paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's
Complaint. Sanders further alleges that he "mailed to
Plaintiff's former counsel. . . his objeotion to the alleged
debt on May 29, 1996." Defendant doeR not attach a copy of such
response. Defendant also eets forch affirmative defenses in his
Answer.
DISCUSSION
Plaintiff cites case law setting forth the proposition that
an answer merely denying liability, without averring specific
fact relating thereto is evasive and insufficient to prevent
judgment. Plaintiff alleges that Defendant's affirmative
defenses are not sufficient to stop the entry of judgment in this
matter. Consequently, Defendant's Answer should be treated as an
admission and judgment entered in favor of Plaintiff.
.

MOTIO~ 'OR JUDGMENT ON THB PLEADINGS
COMES NOW, Defendant, Neil H. Sandenl, II, Pro se,

I. ARGUMENT
As this Court will remember, Sanders previously filed' a
motion for this Court to conduct the fundamental due pt'ocess
analysis reqUired in any litigation involving a non Pennsylvania
resident defendilllt. This Court denied Sanders' motion without
conducting the analysis.
Sanders believes Sanders' answer is sufficient to raisCll
triable issues. However, this is an issue for thfl Court to
determine.
Sanders aloo believes Sanders should be allowed to conduct
some discovery prior to this Court granting Plaintiff's motion..
Sanders needs to obtain Flaintif f' 0 documents regarding whether
payments were made on the alleged debt, and to depose Plaintiff's
sales person who made representations, both oral and written,
regarding the terms of the deal at issue in the present case. The
representations are diametrically opposed to the documents
attached to Plaintiff's Complaint. Again, this is also an issue
for this Court decide.
Sanders cannot prepare counterclaims or an adequate defense
without the discovery. Sanders cannot file a motion to dismiss
for failure to join an indispensable party without the documents.
In short, Sanders is being denie4 fundamental due process and
fundamental substantive due process pursuant the Fourteenth
Amendment to the United States Constitutl.on.
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Sanders respect ully requests an
order from this Court denying Plaintiff's

Ddendant. I CIVIL ACTION-LAW
DlrINDANT'S ANSWlRS TO RlQUlST rOR ADMISSIONSI rIRST SIT
COMES NOW, DEFENDANT, Neil H. Sanders, II, hereinafter,
"Sanders," pursuant to Rule 4014(b), Pa.R.Civ.P., and hereby files
his answers to Plaintiff's request for admissions first set.
Sanders' admissions, denials, and objections are set forth in the
below answers.
Neil nd s, se
228 First Avenue
Gallipolis, Ohio 45631
(614) 446-9775
ANSWlRS TO RlQUlST rOR ADMISSIONS
1. Sanders admits the computer reaearch items were
purchased, but denya the dates.
Sanders has in his possession a copy of Plaintiff's form
titled "West CD-ROM Libraries Order Form." This form is dated
September 6, 1994.
In March,
1995, or April,
I
1995, Sanders perllonally became
1
involved in this controversy. By this time, the first or Becond
quarter, 1995, Plaintiff had cessed suppling the law firm with the
monthly updates and advance sheets for the computer aided research
system.
In 1995, Sanders personslly negotiated a return of the
equipment and ~ forgiveness of the debt with a gentleman at West's
in Minnesota. The forgiveness of the debt was in consideration for
Sanders not suing Plaintiff over its defective software. At this'
juncture, a gentleman from the credit department became involved
and the deal fell apart. (Sanders has notes regarding these
negotiations, but he has been unable to locate them at this time.
However, Sanders will remember the names as he continues his review
of the files.)
Sanders has conducted a search of the files in Sanders'
possession regarding this transaction. The problem is this
transaction was negotiated between Mr. Barry D. Smith, Sales
Representative, West Publishing Corporation, and the accountant
Sanders hired to run the ti.nancial end of the practice, Mr. Walter
Henry Charles Drakeford.
When the computer assisted research equipment was purchased,
Mr. Smith represented to Sanders and Mr. Drakeford that a credit
was being given Sanders for a copy the Florida Rules Of Civil.
Procedure and, I believe, the Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure
2
purchalJed by Neil Ii. Sander"" II, A Legal Profe",,,,ional
,
Association'", Tampa, Florida office. This bill wa", in di"'pute at
thi", time.
I have personal knowledge Mr. Dr~keford had several
conversations with Mr. Smith llbout the failure of Plaintiff to
remove this charge in 1994. I was ~resent during a speak telephone
conversation between Messrs. Drakeford and Smith when Mr. Smith
represented the charge for the books, and I believe it was $lB9.00,
was canceled by PlaJ.ntiff.
In 1995, Sanders caught Mr. Drakeford engaging in financial
improprieties and discharged him. At this time, Mr. Drakeford, and
his accounting firm, Drakeford & Drakeford, P.A., had custody and
control of 100\ of the law firms financial records. Mr. Drakeford
and Drakeford & Drakeford, P.A. refused to return the records.
In 1995, Sanders received a telephone call from an Internal
Revenue Service agent from Tampa, Florida, Mr. Larry Keith. Mr.
Keith informed Sanders that Neil H. Sanders, II, A Legal
Professional Association owed 941 Taxes in the amount of
approximately $5,000.00.
After Sanders "cooled down," Sanders confronted Mr. Drakeford
regarding this issue due to the fact Sanders had signed checkR to
pay the 941 taxes owed each quarter. Furthermore, Sanders knew
monies had been placed into a separate account to pay the taxea. At
3
this time, Sanders was informed by Mr. Drakeford that Mr. O~akeford
had placed, without Sanders' knowledge or consent, the employees of
Mr. Orakeford's accounting firm, Drakeford & Drakeford, P.A., on
the Neil H. Sanders, II, A Legsl Professional Association's
quarterly pay roll tax forms filed with the I.R.S. Mr. Drakeford
also informed Sanders he had failed to pay the taxes owed for
Drakeford & Drakeford, P.A.'s employees.
At this time, the Mr. Keith also sent to Sanders by facsimile
transmission a copy of an I.R.S. Form Power Of Attorney,
hereinafter "I?OA," the exact I. R. S. form number Sanders does not
remember, on which Mr. Drakeford had, without Sanders' knowledge
and oonsent, forged Sanders' name to the POA. This explained how
Mr. Drakeford was able to keep the knowledge of the nonpayment of
the 941 Taxes from Sanders.
On July 24, 1995, the Hillsborough County, Florida Circuit
Court Family Law Division made a ruling in Sanders' dissolution of
marriage action, Case No. t 92-9492, that Sanders net yearly salary
solely from the practice of law is $1,034,000.00. (This dissolution
which is in its fifth year of litigation stemmed from a, at best,
5 month marriage, but more to the point, a 30 day marriage.) When
the order was filed, someone reported this to the I.R.S. Very
predictably, along came the I.R.S. claiming Sanders had engaged in
felony tax fraud. Sanders had the I. R. S. issue a Summons to
4
Drakeford ~ Drakeford, P.A. for the law firm's bank records.
Through the I.R.S. Summons, Sanders received in late 1996 a
partial copy of the law firm's financial records including checking
accounts. It is clear Mr. Drakeford intentionally destroyod many of
the canceled checks and bank statements for the law firm's checking
account from the period February, 1993, through September, 1995.
Sanders is in the process of having the bank research the
accounts and collect the missing canceled checks. This research
proves beginning in September, 1993, and continuing until 1995, Mr.
Drakeford, through a scheme of forging, without Sanders' consent or
knowledge, Sanders' signature on checks, drawn on the law firm's
accounts, with Sanders being the sole signatory, checks made
payable to fictitious payees. The money was also stolen by using
wire transfers. The magnitude of the wire fraud and mail fraud
ranges from a low some months of $10,000.00 to a high some months
of sums close to $200,000.00.
The primary fictitious payee was a company named Megabyte
Resources Corp. This company had a bank account in which the money
was deposited at the Barnett Bank, Tampa, Florida.
2. Objection: Request for Admission Number 2 is vague, and
unclear. Sanders does not have possessi.nn of the documents forming
the basis of Plaintiff's request.
3. Sanders can neither admit or deny Plaintiff's. request
