RE: Alan Somerville v. The Auto Connection
Dear Judge Hoffer:
We were notified by letter from John Ninosky, Esquire, attorney for The Auto
Connection, that I either represented John March, principal of The Auto Connection, or
his wife against him in the past and, therefore, he was requesting that I recuse myself
from this matter.
I have no recollection of such involvement with a John March, but, nonetheless,
such may been the case and, therefore, I agreed to recuse myself.
Pursuant to Sandy's instructions, I am returning herewith the file in this matter.
Very truly yours,
SO , DUFFIE, STEWART & WEIDNER

The principal of The Auto Connection is John Martz. It
is my understanding that you represented Mr. Martz at
some point in the past. Based upon this
representation, I believe it appropriate that you
recuse yourself as Chairman of this arbitration panel.
Kindly advise as to what steps need to be undertaken to
accomplish this task.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Very truly yours,
~/(;V~

COFIPLAINT
AND NOW comes the plaintiff, by his attorneys, Turner and O'Connell, and
makes the following complaint:
1. Plaintiff, Alan $. Sommerville, RI, is an adult individual residing at 103
Runson Road, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011.
2. Defendant, The Auto Connection, Inc., is a Pennsylvania business
corporation with principal place of business at 5200 Simpson Ferry Road,
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17055.
3. On or about May 1, 1999, plaintiff delivered his 1986 Audi 5000 CS
Turbo Quattro to defendant for the purpose of having defendant perform
certain repairs.
4. While in the exclusive care, custody and control of defendant, the
plaintiffs vehicle was damaged in the fight front fender, door post and
related areas. Said damages occurred between May 1, 1999, and July 4,
1999, at a date and time known to defendant but unknown to plaintiff.

door at a cost of $200.00.
7. The reasonable cost of repair of said damage in addition to the cost of the
door is $1,593.13 as itemized on the attached "preliminary estimate"
attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference.
8. Plaintiff has repeatedly made demand upon defendant for payment of said
sum, which demands have been refi~sed by plaintiff.

favor of plaintiff and against defendant in the amount of $1,793.13.
