Defendant
Attorney for Defendant Karlene Heiman
: IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
: CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
NO. 2003-351 CIVIL TERM
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANT'S
MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
PURSUANT TO Pa.R.C.P. 4004 (e) and 4012
AND NOW, comes the Defendant Karlene Helman by and through her undersigned attorneys,
Johnson, Duffie, Stewart & Weidner, and files this Motion for Protective Order Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P.
4004(e) and 4012, and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. This action arises from an automobile accident that occurred between the parties on or about
June 22, 2001 in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania.
2. The pleadings in this matter have been closed for some time now and discovery remains
ongoing.
I The Defendant has retained a medical expert, Dr. David Baker, to provide his opinion with
regards to the Plaintiff's alleged injuries.
4. Dr. Baker has issued a report detailing his opinion which has been provided to counsel for the
Plaintiff.
5. The Defenadnt brings this Motion for a Protective Order as the result of a deposition notice,
subpoena and interrogatories unilaterally issued by the Plaintiff upon Dr. Baker pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 4004
wherein the Plaintiff is seeking information, including income information, pertaining to Dr. Baker's practice
of providing expert reports for defense counsel pursuant to the holding in Cooper v. Schoffstall, 905 A.2d
482 (Pa. 2006). A true and correct copy of the deposition notice is attached hereto as Exhibit "A", true and
correct copy of the subpoena issued to Dr. Baker is attached hereto as Exhibit "B", and a true and correct
copy of the interrogatories propounded to Dr. Baker is attached hereto as Exhibit "C".
6. Counsel for the Plaintiff, by deposition notice and subpoena dated April 17, 2007, unilaterally
scheduled the deposition of Dr. Baker for May 10, 2007 and has not provided for any of the following in his
notice of deposition or subpoena: compensation for Dr. Baker's time; how the information obtained by
deposition on written interrogatories is to be kept confidential and private; nor a significant pattern of
compensation that would support a reasonable inference that Dr. Baker might color, shade, or slant his
testimony in light of substantial financial incentives (i.e. that Dr. Baker has entered the professional witness
category) See, Cooper v. Schoffstall, 905 A.2d at 495.
7. The Supreme Court noted in Cooper v. Schoffstall, 905 A.2d 496 f. 16 that: "we would expect
that the questions often may be propounded to the expert deponent at a convenient time and at his regular
place of business."
8. Plaintiff unilaterally scheduled the deposition of Dr. Baker who practices in Carlisle to be
taken with approximately 3 weeks notice and at Plaintiff's counsel's offices in Harrisburg.
9. This scheduled time is approximately one week prior to the deadline for Dr. Baker to answer
the interrogatories propounded to him pursuant to the Rules of Civil Procedure. Therefore, Plaintiff's
scheduling of the deposition for May 10, 2007 does not even allow sufficient time for Dr. Baker to respond to
the interrogatories let alone clear his schedule to attend a deposition in Harrisburg.
10. The proposed time and place of Dr. Baker's deposition is neither convenient nor respectful of
a doctor's schedule nor is it at Dr. Baker's regular place of business.
11. Furthermore, the Supreme Court in Cooper stated that the trial court may, upon a review of
the answers to interrogatories given by the expert deponent, and upon motion, order that the written
interrogatory responses are sufficient so as to preclude an oral examination of the expert deponent.
12. Given the timing of Plaintiff's interrogatories and the unilaterally scheduled time for Dr.
Baker's deposition, counsel for the Defendant would not have an opportunity to confer with counsel for the
Plaintiff or present a motion to the Court arguing that Dr. Baker's written responses and production of
documents as appropriate are sufficient to preclude an oral examination.,
13. Pursuant to Local Rule, concurrence in this motion by counsel for the Plaintiff was sought and
such concurrence was given as to a change in the deposition date until after the deadline on the written
discovery however concurrence was denied as to compensation for Dr. Baker's time in responding to the
discovery, confidentiality, and the location of the deposition.
14. No judge has ruled on any other issues in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Karlene Helman respectfully requests this Honorable Court to issue an Order:
(1) precluding the deposition of Dr. David Baker unilaterally scheduled for May 10, 2007 until a
date and time mutually agreeable to the parties and Dr. Baker and no sooner than May 31, 2007 so that
counsel for the parties can confer as to whether Dr. Baker's written responses are sufficient so that a
deposition is not necessary, or so that Defendant's counsel can present a motion arguing the same;
(2) which provides that a mutually scheduled deposition of Dr. Baker may take place at Dr.
Baker's regular place of business in Carlisle and that Plaintiff shall provide reasonable compensation for Dr.
Baker's time in responding to this discovery; and
(3) which provides that counsel must reach an agreement as to how the information disclosed in
the interrogatories and/or deposition are to be kept private and confidential.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
No. 2003-351 CIVIL TERM
CIVIL ACTION - LAW
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
PURSUANT TO PA. R.C.P. 4004(e) AND 4012
Plaintiff, Kimberly Koontz, by and through her attorneys, Metzger, Wickersham, Knauss
& Erb, hereby responds to Defendant's Motion for Protective Order Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P.
4004(e) and 4012 and respectfully requests this Honorable Court issue an Order denying
Defendant's Motion for Protective Order. In support of this Response, Plaintiff represents as
follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted. The documents speak for themselves.
6. Admitted that Plaintiff's counsel scheduled the deposition of Dr. Baker for May
•
- / ti
10, 2007. Plaintiff's counsel has agreed to stay the taking of Dr. Baker's deposition until after
receipt of the responses to the discovery requests. Plaintiff's counsel will then make a
determination as to whether or not he feels the deposition is necessary. If the deposition of Dr.
Baker is warranted, Plaintiff will reimburse Dr. Baker the required state witness fee of $5.00 per
day plus mileage. Plaintiff's counsel will also agree to travel to Dr. Baker's office to conduct
the deposition. It is denied that Plaintiff is responsible to "compensate" Dr. Baker for his time.
Under Pennsylvania law, Plaintiff is not required to protect the confidentiality of the
documents produced by Dr. Baker. If Dr. Baker desires that the information be kept
confidential, he has the burden to file a Motion for Protective Order in order to do so.
Dr. Baker has been used as a defense medical expert witness performing independent
medical examinations in at least eleven (11) other cases handled by Plaintiff's counsel's law
firm. He potentially earns hundreds of thousands of dollars every year from such examinations
alone. If the Court deems necessary, a survey can be made of other law firms. However, Dr.
Baker is a known defense IME expert. Plaintiff suspects that Dr. Baker receives a substantial
percentage of his annual income from performing those examinations which clearly is a
substantial financial incentive for him to continue providing reports in favor of defense firms.
Plaintiff avers that all of the above renders Dr. Baker a "professional witness" as defined
under Cooper v. Schoffstall, 905 A.2d at 495.
7. Admitted. The case speaks for itself.
8-9. After a telephone conference with defense counsel, Plaintiff's counsel agreed to
stay the taking of the deposition until such time after receipt of Dr. Baker's written responses and
production of documents. See paragraph 13 of Defendant's Motion for Protective order.
376067-1
10. Defendant's averment is irrelevant in light of paragraphs 8-9 wherein Plaintiff's
counsel has agreed to stay the taking of the deposition until such time after receipt of Dr. Baker's
written responses and production of documents. The deposition of Dr. Baker may not be
necessary if a determination is made that the responses and documents to the discovery are
sufficient.
11. Admitted that the Supreme Court in Cooper stated that "In all likelihood,
however ...the written interrogatories will produce sufficient information to support adequate
trial preparation" (905 A.2d at 496). Plaintiff intentionally drafted the written interrogatories as
recommended by the Supreme Court in Cooper at 905 A.2d 495 to accomplish that result.
12. See response to #10 above.
13. Admitted.
14. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court deny
Defendant's Motion for Protective Order.
