6. Lititz Mutual Insurance Company conditioned its insurance
as follows:
2. Concealment or Fraud
a. Under SECTION I-PROPERTY COVERAGES, with

(3) Made false statements.
relating to this insurance.

2
9. Cheryl McSherry testified that she borrowed a lot of
money, "like $30,000.00" from Jeanne Lukowski in return for her
jewelry.
10. Cheryl J. McSherry testified that her mother, Jeanne
Lukowski, loaned her money for a roofing business, Kitzmiller
Commercial Roofing, in 1992 and in 1993.
11. Kitzmiller Commercial Systems, Inc. had obligated itself
to pay and satisfy in full certain debts owned by Neidig Roofing
Company of York, Inc. a/k/a NRY, Inc. to Dauphin Deposit Bank and
Trust Company, including:
a. Equipment line of credit loan of $130,000.001
b. Commercial line of credit loan of $298,000.00.
12. Kitzmiller Commercial Systems, Inc. was owed money on a
claim against Pennsylvania Manufacturer's Association Insurance
Company or J. Vinton Schafer, Inc. for claims arising out of a
construction project at the National Business Park for which an
insurance claim had been filed.
13. On April 28, 199B, Defendant, Lititz Mutual Insurance
Company, notified Samuel L. Andes, Esquire, counsel for Cheryl J.
Horne, of the intent to serve a subpoena upon Pennsylvania
Manufacturer's Association Insurance Company and Dauphin Deposit
Bank & Trust Company, attaching a copy of the subpoena proposed to
be served to the Notice, copies of which Notices are attached
hereto as Exhibits A and B.
3
14. On April 29, 1998, Jeanne Lukowski testified that she
placed all of her daughter's jewelry into a safe deposit box at
Financial Trust Bank.
15. On May 18, 1998, Plaintiff served Objection to Proposed
Subpoenas, allegedly filed.
16. On May 22, 1998, Defendant, Lititz Mutual Insurance

attaching a copy of the subpoena proposed to be served to the
Notice, copies of which are attached Exhibit C.

Company, asked Samuel L. Andes, Esquire if the objections raised on
May 18, 1998 applied to the Notice of Intent to Serve a Subpoena
served on May 22, 1998. See Exhibit D.
18. Although no formal objection was raised to Exhibit C, the
Notice of Intent to Serve a Subpoena upon Financial Trust Bank, it
is believed that Plaintiff's Objection to Proposed Subpoenas
expected the same when objection was raised to subpoenas for "safe
deposit records."
19. On May 22, 1998, Defendant, Lititz Mutual Insurance
Company, requested the concurrence with, or opposition to, a draft
of this Motion. See Exhibit E.
20. Plaintiff, Cheryl J. Horne, has not responded to the
May 22, 1998 request for concurrence with, or opposition to, the
draft Motion.

RE: Horne v. Lititz Mutual Insurance Company
Court of Common pleas, Cumberland County, PA
No. 97-425
My File No. 8512-96
Dear Mr. Andes:
Enclosed please find a copy of the MOTION OF DEFENDANT FOR
ORDER ON OBJECTIONS TO SUBPOENAS.
please state your concurrence with, or opposition to, the
MOTION on or before Friday, May 29, 1998.
DM/vb
Enclosure
cc: Scott Lutz, Claim No. 2-96-1885 (w/enclosure)
4. On or about 29 January 1996, at a time not precisely known to Plaintiff, those
: items of jewelry listed and identified on Plaintiff's Exhibit A, plus a computer system owned \'
!
i: by Plaintiff and kept at her said residence at that time, were removed and stolen from I
:, Plaintiff's residence and possession by a person or persons unknown to Plaintiff. Plaintiff
':
'i
:! has not recovered the items which were so stolen and removed from her possession.
I,
Ii
"
5.
At the time the said items were stolen from Plaintiff, they were insured against
i:
, theft by a policy of insurance issued to Plaintiff by the Defendant. A copy of that said policy i
!,
"
,
, is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit B.
6. Plaintiff promptly reported the loss of her items to the Defendant and has done
everything requested or required of her by Defendant or by the policy of insurance issued to
her by Defendant.
7. Defendant has denied Plaintiff's claim for payment under the said policy of
. insurance, has refused to make any payment to her for the items insured which were lost by
her, and has refused to proceed with the appraisal process in accordance with the policy.
"
"
8.
The items stolen from the Plaintiff had a total value of $54,740.00. Under the
, policy, therefore, Defendant owes Plaintiff $54,740.00 for the items stolen from her.
9. Despite repeated requests by Plaintiff, Defendant has fsiled and refused to pay
.. Plaintiff the sums she is due under the policy for her loss.
10. By its conduct, Defendant has violated its obligations under the policy of
insurance it issued to Plaintiff and, by doing so, has injured Plaintiff.

agent.
9. Admitted,
10. Plaintiff admits having a telephone discussion with a representative of the New
Cumberland insurance agency regarding this subject, but cannot be certain of the date of that

persuaded Plaintiff to buy insurance through his office from Defendant.

Plaintiff that the method of setting the loss would be up to the insurance company and the tenns of

13. Plaintiff admits that she reported items of jewelry stolen from her residence on or about
30 January 1996 and made that report to the Hampden Township Police Department.
14, Admitted. By way of further answer, Plaintiff states that, on that date, for the first time,
Defendant's agent told her that Defendant wished her to obtain insurance from another source.
Defendant's agent promised to look into the matter and get back to Plaintiff, bl:t he did not do so.
On or about that same day, Plaintiff reported the loss directly to Defendant.
15. Plaintiff admits that she completed fonns provided her to a representative of Defendant,
completed those fonns in accordance with the instructions given her by that representative and
signed those fonns and provided them to Defendant. The documents, in their entirety, speak for
themselves.
16. Admitted, By way of further answer, Plaintiff says that she prepared the inventory by
listing the items of jewelry which had been included in the policy of insurance prepared by
Defendant and its agent.
17, Denied as stated. Plaintiff called the New Cumberland insurance agency after she had
been advised by Defendant that it.would not continue the renters' insurance policy and had
received a notice from Defendant that the policy would be canceled. She inquired about the price
of insurance and, detennined after hearing that price, that she could not continue to pay the cost of
insurance on the jewelry, which she no longer had in her possession at that time anyway.

18, Denied as stated. Plaintiff changed her mind and decided to continue the coverage on
her jewelry when she considered that there was some chance the jewelry would be recovered and
restored to her possession, or that it might be replaced.
19. Denied, Plaintiff has no recollection of receiving such a letter. Whether the letter was
sent to her or not is information within the control of a third party and not reasonably available to
Plaintiff, and so she denies same and demands proof thereof at trial.
20. Although Plaintiff cannot admit the date, she did call the New Cumberland insurance
agency and instruct them to delete the jewelry rider, Plaintiff had to decided she could not afford
to pay for insurance on items she no longer had in her possession and that she could change the
policy later if the jewelry was restored to her,
21. Denied for the same reasons set forth in the answer to Paragraph 19 above.
22. Denied, Plaintiff admits that she told Defendant's representative that there was not
policy of insurance in effect on the date of the loss, referring to the General Accident policy which
she believe had been terminated by Defendant's representative. She denies such statement was
false and believed it was true at the time she made it. Only subsequently has she learned that the
General Accident policy may well have been in effect on the date of the loss.
23. Denied. Plaintiff did not conceal any facts from Defendant or its representative.
Plaintiff disclosed that a tennis bracelet and pair of earrings had been replaced by General Accident
Insurance in August of 1995 and that the items lost in January of 1996 were different items that had
been lost the prior August.

Defendant
PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTION TO DEFENDANT'S INTERROGATORIES
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
objects to Defendant's Interrogatories in this matter for the following reasons:
1. This case is approximately six years old and Defendant has had more than
ample oppprtunity up to now to make all inquiries of Plaintiff that are required to prepare
the case for trial. Defendant has inte~rogated Plaintiff under oath before this action was
commenced and then interrogated her at a deposition after the action was commenced.
2. Defendant's Interrogatories were served after this matter was listed for trial.
Engaging in the discovery now requested by Defendant will delay the trial to the
considerable prejudice of Plaintiff.
3. Much of the information addressed in Defendant's Interrogatories hBS already
been provided by Plaintiff in the discovery already conducted in this case and the other
cases with which it has been consolidated for pre-trial proceedings or is othBrwise
available to Defendant.
4. Defendant's Interrogatories violate the local rules of this court by consisting of
substantially more than forty questions, including sub-parts.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff objects to Defendant's Interrogatories.

PLAINTIFF'S OBJECTIONS TO
DEFENDANT'S REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
makes the folloWing objections to Defendant's Request for Production of Documents in
this matter:
1. Defendant's Request for Production was made after this matter was listed for
trial and approximately six years after this action was commenced. There is not adequate
time presently for Plaintiff to search for, locate, and produce the documents Defendant
has requested without delaying trial.
2. Many of the documents requested by Defendant have previously been produced
in this and its companion cases, all of which were consolidated for pre-trial proceedings,
As a result, those documents are already available to Defendant.
3. The documents requested by Defendant are overly-broad and, as a result,
Defendant's Request for Production is excessive and oppressive, particularly on the very
eve of trial.
4. Defendant's Request demands that Plaintiff execute documents which are not
within the scope of a Request for Production a"d which violate Plaintiff's rights with
regard to her personal income tax returns.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff objects to Defendant's Request for Production and asks this
court to excuse her from answering such request.
