PROCEDURE 1915.3-8, the undersigned Custody Conciliator submits the following report:
1. The pertinent information concerning the Child who is the subject of this litigation is as
follows:
NAME DATE OF BIRTH CURRENTLY IN CUSTODY OF
Gavin M.L. Winfrey December 26, 2001 Mother
2. A Conciliation Conference was held on May 14, 2003, with the following individuals in
attendance: The Mother, Kara Desma Winfrey, with her counsel, Scott A. Stein, Esquire. The Father,
David R.L. Mutzabaugh, did not appear for the conference or contact the conciliator. According to the
Mother's counsel, the Father was properly served with notice of the conference and also had a
telephone conversation with the Mother concerning the conference on the previous day.
3. The Mother filed this petition for primary physical custody of the Child. According to the
Mother, the Child has lived exclusively with her since the parties separated in March 2003. Although
the Mother stated that she wants the Father to have a close relationship with the Child, the Father does
not have housing or other essentials for the Child at the present time. The Mother expects that the
custody arrangements would be adjusted to a more specific and expanded schedule when the Father
establishes a stable home environment.
4. Based on representations made by the Mother at the conference and the fact that the Father
did not attend or contact the conciliator, the conciliator recommends an Order in the form as attached.

receipt of the evaluator's written recommendations. The parties shall sign any authorizations deemed
