COMPLAINT
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
makes the following complaint against the Defendant in this matter:
1. The Plaintiff is Jana D. DeBoard, an adult individual who resides at 1302
Mathison Drive, Sandpoint, Idaho, 83864.
2. The Defendant is Ginger K. Davis, an adult individual who resides, to the best of
Plaintiff's knowledge, at 1601 Anna Street in New Cumberland, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania.
3. The Plaintiff and Defendant are sisters and are the daughters of Virginia K.
Davis, who is currently a resident at Blue Ridge Chateau at 10 House Avenue in Camp Hill,
Pennsylvania.
4. Plaintiff and Defendant and their mother are the joint owners of several assets,
including:
A. A single-family residence at 1601 Anna Street in the Borough of
New Cumberland, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania; and
2
B. An investment account with American Express.
5. Plaintiff has learned recently that Defendant has misappropriated funds from the
joint investment account which the Plaintiff and Defendant own with their mother and has
misappropriated the rental and use of the residence in New Cumberland. Examples of the
misappropriation of these assets and the income from these assets by the Defendant
include:
Defendant has taken exclusive occupancy of the residence in New
Cumberland without paying rent and has, by doing so, deprived Plaintiff and
the parties' mother of the reasonable income they could expect to receive
from the property.
B. Defendant has withdrawn sums in excess of $55,000.00 from the
American Express account without explanation to Plaintiff. Plaintiff believes
Defendant has used some of those funds for Defendant's personal use and to
improve separate assets which Defendant owns.
C. On or about 19 March 2003, Defendant instructed the manager of
the American Express account to liquidate $20,000.00 of assets in that
account and disburse those funds to Defendant so she could pay off the
mortgage she owes on her individual real estate.
6. All of the actions taken by Defendant with regard to the assets owned jointly
with Plaintiff were taken without Plaintiff's advance knowledge and without Plaintiff's
consent.
7. Defendant's conduct has injured Plaintiff and continues to injure Plaintiff in that
it deprives her of the use and benefit of assets that belong to her.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this Court to order the following relief:
A. Enjoin Defendant, Ginger K. Davis, from any further expenditures
or removal of funds from the account owned jointly by the parties and their
mother; and
B. Require Ginger K. Davis to pay reasonable rent for her occupancy
of the property which Plaintiff and Defendant own jointly with their mother or,
in the alternative, order her to vacate the property so that it can be leased and
made productive; and
C. Order the Defendant, Ginger K. Davis, to provide a full, accurate,
and detailed accounting of her expenditure of funds from the joint account
owned by the Plaintiff and Defendant and their mother and for her use and
occupancy of the real estate they own together; and
D. Award such other relief as is appropriate or necessary to protect
the rights of the parties.

PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
AND NOW comes the above-named Plaintiff, by her attorney, Samuel L. Andes, and
petitions the Court for a special or preliminary injunction pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1531,
based upon the following:
1. The Petitioner herein is the Plaintiff in the above-captioned matter and the
Respondent is the Defendant, Ginger K. Davis.
2. Plaintiff and Defendant own together certain assets which are described in
Plaintiff's Complaint, the averments of which Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference.
Those assets include a residence in the Borough of New Cumberland and an investment
account with American Express.
3. Defendant has unilaterally, and without Plaintiff's advancie knowledge or
consent, made substantial withdrawals from the American Express account and converted
some of those funds and assets to Defendant's own use, thereby depriving Plaintiff, and
the parties' mother who is also a joint owner of the account, from the use and benefit of
those funds.
4. Defendant has taken exclusive possession of the residence owned by the parties
and their mother in the Borough of New Cumberland and has failed Or refused to pay rent
or other compensation for her exclusive use of the property, thereby depriving Plaintiff of
the use and profits of such property.
5. Defendant's actions are causing Plaintiff irreparable harmibecause they are
consuming assets which Plaintiff needs to support herself and the p~rties' mother in such a
way that Plaintiff will not be able to recover those assets or their rea~sonable value from
Defendant. Plaintiff is also suffering irreparable harm because she ia deprived of the benefit
of the ownership of the residence in New Cumberland without an aC~equate way to be
compensated for such loss.
6. Plaintiff's injury and loss cannot be properly compensatedi by monetary damages
because the depletion of the funds in the investment account will make it impossible for
Plaintiff's mother to continue her residence in a sheltered care facility and will prevent
Plaintiff from having the funds available to maintain her mother in that facility.
7. Immediate action is required to stop the depletion and misappropriation of these
funds before they are lost completely by Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays this Court to enter a preliminary injunction pursuant to
Pa. R.C.P. 1 531 to enjoin Defendant from the further misappropriation and dissipation of
assets belonging to Plaintiff and to the parties' mother.

Flaintiff's Complaint as fellows:
Denied. Mother needs full nursing care due to neglect of Chateau employees.
~ecause of ~laintiff's greed and harrassing Mother until Mother's anxiety
level reached deadly hei~hts~ and the lack of ~ro~er care from the em-
ployees of the Chateau, Mother's full time nursing care is now covered
hy her long term medical insurance. Plaintiff told Ruth Collins, Mother's
sister, Defendent ~ulled Mother out of t~e Chateau, where she was ~eing
exceptionally cared for with the ~aid assistance ef mon nurse aid for two
hours in morning and two hours in evening. Mother complained of aid
s~ending her time outside smoking cigarrettes with employees. Mother is
now residing at Seidle Hospital's skilled nursing unit under the care of
licensed nurses~ none of which were at the Chateau. Not even the ~eo~le
giving medications were nurses. This caused Mother many health ~rohlems
and unnecessary ~ain and discomfort.
Agreed in ~art.
Agreed.
Agreed.
to ~ay rent. Defendent agrees. Two
Denied.
A. Mother does not wish Defendent
against ome. Plaintiff loses.
~. Agreed in ~art. Plaintiff has told Mother she will never s~eak to or
have contact with Defendent ever again. In fact, ~laintiff has
disowned Defendent. As of today, this is true. Mother has hogged
~iaintiff to talk to Defendent hut she has refused Mother. Mother has
a~roved all of Defendent's expenditures.
C. Denied Defendent called American Ex~ress adviser, Sara Negle~~ and made
statement because Plaintiff had convinced all employees that Defemdent
was evil. Everytime Defendent called Sara Negly and asked for money
transfers into money market account9 Sara improperly, as an employee of
account holders, asked detailed questions as to the use of funds, why
did ~ayments need to he made, and exactly what was the use of the funds.
This angered Defendent into making this untrue statement to see how
fast it would get hack to Plaintlff% Immediately. Sara never followed
instructions so the statement is false. Sara never transferred funds
prom~ty, and service fees started piling up so Defendent hogan requesting
thousands of dollars at a ti~e to he put into Mother's or Defendent's
savings account so that ~ills could he paid promptly with no fees. Sara
never made any attempts to know Defendent and decide for herself if the
libel was true, ~ut Sara did allow Defendent to read llhalous E-Nails
from Plantiff to former account representative, Ron Leushen, stating
Plaintiff was afraid Defendent would physically harm Nether if she didn't
get her way hy controlling American Express account.
6. Agreed in part. See ~A.
7. Denied. Plaintiff is Jealous of no longer ~eing in charge of Mother's
m~ney. In truth, Plaintiff struck out at Defendent so viciously because
she was afraid of what happened. When Mother requested she return all
account ~apers to Defendent because Defendent was getting daily calls
from people requesting their money. Especially the ~aid caregivers.
That is when the forgeries were discovered. Neither Mother nor Defendent
ever signed the documents showing Plaintiff now owned and was sole
beneficiary to all the life insurance policies and other accounts.
NEW MATTER
1. Defendent requests that all correspondent and gifts to Mother he sent to
-~ 'PIa~ntiff's Aunt or attorney so that Defendent can never ~e charged wits
tampering with the US Mail ~y withholding corres~odence from Mother.
2. The dates of the account changes were within a few days of Plaintiff's
a~emrance at the home of the Defendent demanding Defendent sign a Joint
Power of Attorney (POA) or Plaintiff was going to charg& Defendent with
mental incompetency and go to court. Little did Defendent know the monster
lingering in her kitchen. Defendent signed, assuming all w~uld Se as usual?
according to Plaintiff. It wasn't until Mother requested ~laimttff r~turn
all ~ocuments that the deceptions and forgeries were discovered. It is
~elieved ~y all that Mlaintiff ha4 long ~efore
to steal her sister's inheritance.
Plaintiff's constant greed and ~lotting against
threatening Defendent decided
Defendent has caused Mother's
life to Se threatened through ~rief and raised levels in depression and
anxiety. ~laintiff libeled and slandered Defendent to Mother, Aunt, Attorny,
hus~and~ financial advisors, and all others Defendent does not know of yet.
These statements were that Defendent used Mother'a money to ~uy all knew
house a~liances, of which ~hotos ~rowe to ~e untrue, ~ulled MotSer out of
Chateau to ~ain control over Mother, this re,cate4 to Defendent ~y Mother's
sister, making gifts To Herself and draining account for ~ersonal gain. All
lies. If Plaintiff's motives are so selfless, why does she come into town
under cover of secrecy asking all not to tell Defendent she is here. She
usually arrives ena Friday to meet with her attorny to sign lawsuit ~a~ers
a~ainst Defendent, makes what she calls hat duty visit to MOther and then
s~ends the rest of her time here with her lover, Robert Hall. Defendent
can ~rove these allegations ~ecause she was used Sy Mr. Hall and Plaintiff
as aa excuse to husband for reason to go to the Jersey Shore in the 19?0's.
Plaintiff and Mr. Hall sle~t in the ~edroom while the Defendert had to
slee~ on the floor near to ~edroem. Defendent heard everything. Plaintiff
also disclosed an affair with a musician who"tired with her and her husband
for a year while husband had to work out of state durin~ the week and
and only came home on weekends. This was also in the sewenties as it was
Just around the time of TMI (here) and Mt. St. Helens (there). While at
the Jersey Shore Mr. Hall ~ut water and cocaine in a sinus squirt ~ottle
and ~assed it around. We all used it. Mr. Hall also had Marijuana that~ we
all smoked.
I verify that the statements made in this document are true and
correct as I see them to ~e. I understand that any false statements in
this document are subject to the ~enalties of 18 ~a~. $905 (unsworn false~
ification to authorities).

in Mexico. She retires from teachimg this year. Plaintiff also needs funds
for frequent traveling to this area under the pretense of visiting
Mother and maintaining her adulterous affair with Robert Hall, who she
was dating when she met her present husband. Defendemt oan only state
~at the affair was going on in the 19?O's because Defendent was used as
an excuse and cover for Plaintiff and Lover to go to the shore for a
weekend where Defendent slept in outer room floor near bedroom doer'
where Plaintiff and lover slept. Defendent could hear everything. We
three also went to nightclmbs where Lever produced a liquid sinus bottle
filled with water and eooaine. We also smoked Marijuana.
