3. "Any" as well as "all" shall be construed to mean "each and every."
4. "And" as well as "or" shall be construed disjunctively as well as conjunctively, as
necessary, in order to bring within the scope of these requests all information that might
otherwise be construed to be outside their scope.
5. "Document" means any written, printed, typed, recorded or graphic matter,
however, produced or reproduced, including correspondence, telegrams, other written
communications, data processing storage units, tapes, contracts, agreements, notes, memoranda,

information or data contained in a document or table, each entry of data or factual information
contained in the document or table shall constitute a separate Request for Admission. Therefore,
if Defendant Mark Rundall considers that a specific datum or other portion of the information
contained within a document or table presents a genuine issue for trial or considers that the
information cannot for some other reason be admitted, Defendant may deny only that portion of
the information contained in the document or table and shall admit all true information contained
in the document or table.
4. If a matter contained in any Request cannot be admitted or denied, the reasons for
this shall specifically be set forth in detail in the Response to the Request, including lack of
sufficient information as to the matter in question obtained after reasonable inquiry.
5. A denial shall fairly meet the substance ofthe requested admission.
6. If Defendant Mark Rundall's response to a Request is an objection, the reasons
for the objection must be stated with particularity.
7. When good faith requires that Defendant Mark Rundall qualify his answer or
deny only a part of the matter for which an admission is requested, Defendant must specify the
portions of the Request to which he admits and then deny or qualify his answer as to the
remainder. Wherever a denial or partial denial is made, Defendant shall state each and every fact
that forms the basis for the denial or partial denial, and shall identify all documents that support
or tend to refute its denial or partial denial. When a portion of information contained in a
.. 'I,~-.. ,-
',' ~
-,-, ---," ,
document cannot be admitted, Defendant shall deny only that portion of the information which
cannot be admitted and shall admit the remainder of the document or table.
8. Defendant Mark Rundall may not give lack of information or knowledge as a
reason for failure to admit or deny, unless he has made reasonable inquiry and unless the
information know or readily obtainable by him is insufficient to enable him to admit or deny the
matter for which an admission is requested. In such case, Defendant shall set forth the nature of
the inquiry undertaken.
9. These Requests for Admission are continuous in nature and must be
supplemented promptly if Defendant obtains or learns further or different information between
the date of the response and the time of trial by which Defendant knows that a previous response
was incorrect when made, or though correct when made, is then no longer true.

Admissions To Defendant Mark Rundall, pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. No. 4014.
6. Defendant Mark Rundall was served with said Request for Admissions on
November 18, 2000 by certified maiL A true and correct copy of Defendant Lisa A. Rundall's
Affidavit of Service is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A."
7. Defendant Mark Rundall has failed to admit, deny or otherwise answer said
Request for Admissions, within thirty (30) days from receipt thereof.
Rundall pursuant to Rule 40 14(b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.
9. By virtue of his failure to answer, Defendant Mark Rundall therefore admits that
he was employed by L.B. Smith Lincoln-Mercury on October 24, 1996, the lease date on
Plaintiffs Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement. (See Request for Admission at
Paragraph 1).
10. By virtue of his failure to answer, Defendant Mark Rundall further admits that
Lisa Rundall was not present when the Plaintiff s Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement
was allegedly executed. (See Request for Admission at Paragraph 2).
2
11. Defendant Mark Rundall has further admitted that Lisa A. Rundall did not sign or
execute her name to the Plaintiffs Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement. (See Request
for Admission at Paragraph 3).
12. Defendant Mark Rundall has further admitted that Defendant Lisa A. Rundall did
not consent to the application of her name to the Plaintiffs Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Lease
Agreement. (See Request for Admission at Paragraph 4).
13. Defendant Mark Rundall has further admitted that Defendant Lisa A. Rundall did
not have any knowledge that her name was applied to or placed upon the Plaintiffs Pennsylvania
Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement prior to the service of Plaintiffs Complaint. (See Request for
Admission at Paragraph 5).
14. Defendant Mark Rundall has further admitted that he unilaterally and
intentionally affixed Lisa A. Rundall's signature upon Plaintiffs Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle
Lease Agreement, without her knowledge, consent or consultation. (See Request for Admission
at Paragraph 6).
15. According to the case of Mellon Bank v. Holub, 400 Pa. Super. 360, 583 A.2d
1157, 1160 (1990), the use of an unauthorized signature capable of producing prejudice to a
victim precludes the attachment of liability to the victim.

16. Furthennore, the Superior Court in Mellon Bank v. Holub held that the
unauthorized signature precluded argument that the victim was equitably estopped because she
received some benefit through the use of her forged signature.
17. Therefore, the forgery of Defendant Lisa A. Rundall's name by Defendant Mark
Rundall on the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement cannot be ratified against her.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Lisa A. Rundall respectfully requests this Honorable Court
to enter summary judgment in her favor and against the Plaintiff Ford Motor Credit Company
and Defendant Mark Rundall on all claims and counts raised in the Plaintiffs Complaint.

Defendant Mark Rundall did not file a response to said new matter. On or about April 19, 2000,
Plaintiff Ford Motor Credit filed a Praecipe for Default Judgment only against Mark Rundall, for
the total amount allegedly due under Plaintiffs Complaint.
On or about November 16, 2000, Defendant Lisa A. Rundall filed a Request for
Admissions to Defendant Mark Rundall, pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No. 4014. Defendant Mark
Rundall was served with said Request for Admissions on November 18,2000, by certified mail.
(Def. 's Mot. Summ. J. ~ 6, Ex. "A".) Defendant Mark Rundall failed to admit, deny or otherwise
answer said Request for Admissions, within thirty (30) days from receipt thereof. Therefore,
said Requests for Admission are deemed admitted by Defendant Mark Rundall pursuant to rule
4014(b) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.
By virtue of his failure to answer, Defendant Mark Rundall has therefore admitted he was
employed by the dealership, L.B. Smith Lincoln-Mercury, on October 24, 1996, the date of
Plaintiffs Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement. (Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. ~ 9.) By virtue
of his failure to answer, Defendant Mark Rundall further admitted that Lisa A. Rundall was not
present when the lease agreement was allegedly executed. (Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. ~ 10.)
Defendant Mark Rundall further admitted that his spouse did not sign or execute her nanle to the
lease agreement. (Def.'s Mot.Summ. J ~ 11.) Defendant Mark Rundall also admitted that his
spouse did not consent to the application of her name to the lease agreement, (Def.'s Mot.
Summ. J. ~ 12), nor did she have any knowledge that her name was applied to or placed upon the
2
~ "~..
lease agreement prior to the service of Plaintiff's Complaint (Def.'s Mot. Summ. J. ~ 13).
Finally, Defendant Mark Rundall admitted that he unilaterally and intentionally affixed Lisa A.
Rundall's signature upon the lease agreement without her knowledge, consent or consultation.
(Def.'sMot. Summ. J. ~ 14.)
By virtue of Defendant Mark Rundall's admiss;(.ns in this matter, on or about December
28, 2000, Defendant Lisa A. Rundall filed a Motion for Summary Judgment pursuant to
Pa.R.C.P. No. 1035. Plaintiff has already obtained a default judgment against Defendant Mark
Rundall, and by his admissions his spouse is entitled to be dismissed as a party to this action.
II. QUESTION PRESENTED
1. Whether a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Defendant Lisa A.
Rundall's husband unilaterally and intentionally forged her signature upon
Plaintiff's Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement without her prior knowledge, consent
or consultation?
Suggested Response: NO
2. Whether a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether the unauthorized use
of Defendant Lisa A. Rundall's signature, capable of producing prejudice to heL
precludes the attachment of liability to her under Pennsylvania law?
Suggested Response: NO
III. ARGUMENT
A. Standard of Review.
After the relevant pleadings are closed, Pa.R.Civ.P. No. 1035.2 provides that a party may
move for summary judgment as a matter of law:
3
L__
~" -'-."~~>--'
(1) whenever there is no genuine issue of any material fact as to a necessary element
of the cause of action or defense which could be established by additional
discovery or expert report, or
(2) if, after the com]1letion of discovery relevant to the motion, including the
production of expert reports, an adverse party who will bear the burden of proof at
trial has failed to produce evidence of facts essential to the cause of action or
defense which in a jury trial would require the issues to be submitted to a jury.
See also McCarthv v. Dan Lepore & Sons Co.. Inc., 724 A.2d 938, 940 (Pa. Super. 1998).
"A proper grant of summary judgment depends upon an evidentiary record that either (1) shows
the material facts are undisputed or (2) contains insufficient evidence of facts to make out a
prima facie cause of action or defense and, therefore, there is no issue to be submitted to the
jury." Id. at 940. If upon review of the entire record the trial judge determines that there is no
genuine issue of material fact, and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of
law, the entry of summary judgment is warranted. Snyder v. Specialty Glass Products. Inc.,
441 Pa. Super 613, 658 A.2d 366, 373 (1995).
Applying these standards to Defendant Lisa A. Rundall's Motion for Summary
Judgment, it is clear that no genuine issue of material fact exists with regard to the forgery of her
name to Plaintiffs Lease Agreement without her knowledge or consent. Through Requests for
Admission served upon Defendant Mark Rundall, admission evidence is of record to establish
4
~"
t;
that no genuine issues of material fact exist concerning the liability Defendant Lisa A. Rundall.
Defendant Lisa A. Rundall is therefore entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law.
B. No genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Defendant Lisa A.
Rundall's husband !milaterally and intentionally forged her ,~.ignature upon
Plaintiff's Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement without her knowledge, consent
or consultation.
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4014(b) provides that each matter for which an
admission is requested is admitted if the party to whom the requests are directed fails to file a
response within thirty (30) days after service. Furthermore, the failure to file a timely response
to a request for admissions may entitle the party requesting the admissions to a grant of summary
judgment. See 9A Goodrich-Amram 2d ~ 4014(b):2.
Defendant Mark Rundall was properly served with Requests for Admission by Defendant
Lisa A. Rundall on November 18, 2000. To date, no response has been filed by Defendant Mark
Rundall. He has therefore admitted that he was an employee of the dealership, L.B. Smith
Lincoln-Mercury, on the date of the Plaintiff's Lease Agreement. He has admitted that Lisa A.
Rundall was not present when the Lease Agreement was allegedly signed, nor did she sign or
execute her name to the document. Defendant Mark Rundall has also admitted that she did not
consent to or have knowledge of the application of her name to the agreement. Instead.
Defendant Mark Rundall has admitted that he unilaterally and intentionally affixed Lisa A.
Rundall's signature upon the Lease Agreement without her knowledge, consent or consultation.
Accordingly, no genuine issue of material fact exists as to Defendant Mark Rundalr3
forgery of his wife's name in this matter.
5
'o-.w.-'.~ ~" lIOIllk"l.<
C. No genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether the unauthorized use of
Defendant Lisa A. Rundall's signature, capable of producing prejudice to
her, precludes the attachment of liability to her under Pennsylvania law.
In the case of Mellon Bank v. Holub, 400 Pa. Super. 360, 583 A.2d 1157 (1990), a
creditor sought recovery from a spuuse l,mder a loan guaranty. In Holub, The Superior Court
affirmed the ultimate decision of the trial court which held that husband had affixed wife's
signature to the loan guaranty. In addition, the trial court held that because without the use of her
name no liability could attach to the wife, the husband's actions would constitute the crime of
forgery. Id. 583 A.2d at 1160. Therefore, unless the wife actually placed her signature on the
loan guaranty and agreed to be bound by it, no liability could attach to her. The fact that the wife
had executed an earlier commitment letter to sign the loan guaranty did not change the result.
Id. at 1160. The Superior Court further rejected the argument that wife was equitably estopped
from denying the validity of her signature as a result of her having reaped certain benefits from
the creditor's approval of the loan. Id. at 1160-1161.
In the instant action, Defendant Mark Rundall has admitted that he unilaterally and
intentionally affixed his wife's signature upon the Plaintiff's Lease Agreement without her
knowledge, consent or consultation. Without her actual signature on the document, no liability
would attach to Defendant Lisa A. Rundall. Defendant Mark Rundall has also admitted that he
worked at the dealership at the time and that his wife did not have any knowledge that her name
was placed on the lease document prior to the service of Plaintiff's Complaint. Accordingly
under the holding in Holub, Defendant Lisa A. Rundall is not equitably estopped from denying
6
, ~"""~;'I
liability even though prior to their separation she may have received some small benefit of their
family having the use of an additional vehicle.
Given the admissions made by Defendant Mark Rundall, the Superior Court's holding in
Mellon Bank v. Holub, and the fact that Plaintiff has already obtained a default judgt!1ent
against Defendant Mark Rundall in this matter, no genuine issue of material fact exists in this
matter regarding any liability of Defendant Lisa A. Rundall. Her Motion for Summary judgment
should therefore be granted and she should be removed as a party to this action.
IV. CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth above, Defendant Lisa A. Rundall respectfully requests this
Honorable Court to grant her Motion for Summary Judgment
Respectfully Submitted,
