8. Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted that Keith Brenneman mailed
correspondence to counsel for Ms. Folgueras on January 18,2002. It is believed and therefore
averred that the correspondence was not received by Plaintiffs counsel on the same date it was
mailed; therefore, Plaintiffs allegation that the correspondence was received on January 18,
2002. is denied. The remaining allegations in Paragraph 8 of Plaintiffs Motion contain
intentional misstatements of fact and material omissions of information and are therefore denied.
At no time did counsel for Holli M. Hill advise Plaintiffs counsel that Ms, Hall was six to eight
weeks pregnant. Such information was communicated by a letter from Defendant Hill's doctor, a
copy of which was transmitted by Defendant Hill's counsel. True and correct copies of the
January 18,2002 letter by Keith 0, Brenneman to Attorney Kadel as well as the letter from Dr.
Daggs dated January 14,2002 transmitted therewith are attached hereto and incorporated by
reference herein as "Exhibit I" and "Exhibit 2", respectively.
9, Admitted.
1 0, Admitted in part; denied in part. It is admitted that Defendant Hill did not attend the
scheduled deposition. It is also admitted that neither an objection nor a motion for a protective
order had been filed. It is denied, to the extent it is expressed or implied, that sanctions are
warranted for the reasons given to Plaintiffs counsel in Exhibit 2 and because no order of this
Court has been violated, To the extent either objections or a motion for protective order is
deemed necessary, such objections and motion are made hereby for the reasons set forth herein.
11. Denied. It is denied that it is imperative that Defendant Hill be deposed now as
opposed to after delivery of her child. To the contrary, it is imperative that Defendant Hill be

Compel, issue a protective order precluding Plaintiff from deposing Defendant Hill until a
reasonable time after delivery of Defendant Hill's child and award Defendant Holli M, Hill
counsel fees and costs for Plaintiffs obdurate and vexatious actions in pursuing the Motion sub

Re: Folgueras v. Blewett and Hill
No. 2000-5895, C.C.P., Cumberland County
Dear Ms. Kadel:
I am in the process of entering my appearance for Holli Hill with Attorney Sam Andes
withdrawing his appearance on her behalf. In the meantime, I have been advised of a deposition that you
scheduled for Tuesday, January 29,2002 at your office.
Please be advised that my client is pregnant and is considered a high-risk obstetrical case. She is
to be on modified bed rest throughout her pregnancy. Accordingly, she does not want to jeopardize the
health of her child by among other things, participating in a deposition during the time of her pregnancy.
I am enclosing a letter dated January 14,2002 from Ms. Hill's treating physician. Please advise
whether you will agree to postpone her deposition until after delivery of her child or if! will need to file a
motion for a protective order.
Yours truly,
Keith O. Brenneman

Re: Holli Hill
DOB: 3/3/65
To Whom It May Concem:
Regarding the above-named patient who is currently under our care for pregnancy, patient is
considered a high-risk obstetrical case. The patient's prior obstetric history is significont for history
of mOllerian malformation of uterus dldelphys, which puts her at risk for pre-term labor. The
patient's two prior pregnancies were complicated by pre-term labor and need for tocolytic
therapy. both inpatient and outpatient.
Given these risk factors and previous pre-term delivery at 33 weeks and 37 weeks gestation. it is
recommended that Ms. Hill be on modified bed rest throughout her pregnancy. The restrictions
with respect to her physicai activity may also be extended to strict bed rest with advancing
gestation, Ms. Hill is currently six to eight weeks pregnant with mild hyperemesis gravidarum.
. ~
Ms. Hill also has a ~ old under her care and therefore it is recommended that she not
pursue any part or fulltime work outside of the home and may require assistance in the care of
this child as the pregnancy progresses. given her prior obstetric history.
If there are any questions or further information is required. please do not hesitate to contact our
offices s needed.

ANNETTE G. FOLGUERAS,

v.
No. 00-5895 Civil
CHRISTOPHER J. BLEWETT,
and HOLLI M. HILL,
Defendant
MOTION FOR PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, Annette G. Folgueras, by and through her counsel,
Susan M. Kadel, Esquire, of James, Smith, Durkin & Connelly LLP and avers as follows:
1. PlaintiffIMovant, Annette G. Folgueras (hereinafter referred to as Plaintiff), filed
a Praecipe for Writ of Summons against the above named Defendants on August 28, 2000. Said
Writ of Summons was served upon both Defendants, on September 12, 2000.
2. Plaintiff and Defendant, Christopher J. Blewett, are husband and wife, however, a
divorce action has been filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County docketed to
No. 4732 S 1999. The parties have been living separate and apart since October 25,1999.
Defendant, Holli M. Hill is Mr. Blewett's paramour and they reside together at 207 Bailey Street,
New Cumberland, P A. Plaintiff resides at 2098 Raleigh Road, Hummelstown, P A.
3. Defendants, Mr. Blewett and Ms. Hill were charged by the Derry Township
Police with harassment of Plaintiff. On or about September 1,2000, Defendants entered guilty
pleas to the charge of harassment and each paid a $300.00 fine.
4. The charges stem from the Defendants' use of their computer to transmit e-mail to
third parties which identified Plaintiff by name and phone number and was intended to have third

. ~
",' '
,"'.'"-
',' '" '~ .
.--'~,
parties contact her for sexual purposes. Plaintiff was, in fact, contacted by several individuals
following their receipt of the e-mail from Defendants.
5. Pursuant to the charges against the Defendants, the Derry Township Police
Department seized as evidence the computer used by the Defendants to transmit the harassing
messages. The computer and components are currently under the custody and control of the
Derry Township Police Department.
6. Plaintiff believes, and therefore avers, that the computer currently being held by
the Derry Township Police Department is evidence crucial to the within civil action which is
based upon the Defendants' criminal activities. The Plaintiff is fearful that the computer will be
returned to the Defendants and the evidence destroyed.
Accordingly, Plaintiff is requesting that this Honorable Court direct that the computer
seized from the Defendants which includes, without limitation, all hardware and software related
thereto and all fixed or removable devices attached thereto, be preserved by the Derry Township
Police Department nntil Plaintiff herein has had an opportnnity to inspect and/or copy said
evidence for use in the within action.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the Court enter an Order directing the
Derry Township Police Department to preserve the computer and all computer components
confiscated from the Defendants, Christopher J. Blewett and Holli M. Hill, until further order of
Court.

M. HILL,
NO. 00-5895 CIVIL TERM
Defendant
ANSWER TO PETITION FOR PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE
AND NOW come the above-named Defendants, by their attorney, Samuel L. Andes,
, and make the following Answer to the Plaintiff's Motion for Preservation of Evidence:
,
!, 1. Admitted.
2. It is admitted that Defendant, Blewett and Plaintiff, Folgureas are husband and
wife and are parties to a divorce action in Dauphin County and that they have been
separated since October of 1999. It is also admitted that the Defendant, Blewett and the
Defendant, Hill reside together at 207 Bailey Street in New Cumberland. The other
averments in Paragraph 2 of the Motion are denied and Defendants aver that Plaintiff
currently resides with her parents in Maryland.
3. Admitted.
4. Although the charges resulted from the Plaintiff's Complaint which is consistent
with the averments in Paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's Motion Defendants deny those averments
accurately state what occurred. Defendants paid the citation to avoid further litigation on
this point and, by doing so, did not admit any of the specific claims made by Plaintiff. To
the extent those factual claims are set out in Paragraph 4 of Plaintiff's Motion, Defendant
denies them.
5. It is admitted that the Derry Township Police ceased a computer owned by
Defendant, Hill. It is denied, however, that those items are in the custody of the Derry
1
II
.
*
<"'
Township Police Department, because they were returned to Defendant, Hill by the said
police department on 12 September 2000.
6. Defendants cannot make a response to Plaintiff's beliefs and, therefore, deny them
and demand proof thereof at trial. The computer has been returned and, as a result,
Plaintiff's Petition is moot. Moreover, access to the computer is not necessary for Plaintiff to
support her case because, if she had adequate evidence in her possession to commence the
harassment action she still has that evidence to support her claim in this matter and, if she
did not have adequate evidence to bring the criminal charge, she has acted wrongfully and
improperly.
WHEREFORE, Defendants move this court to dismiss Plaintiff's Motion for
Preservation of Evidence.

Defendants
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANTS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
AND NOW comes the above-named Defendants, by their attorney, Samuel L.
Andes, and makes the following Preliminary Objections to Plaintiff's Complaint:
COUNT I - MOTION FOR MORE SPECIFIC PLEADING
1. Plaintiff's Complaint avers that Plaintiff suffered "emotional distress with physical
manifestations" and "mental pain and suffering" without describing the exact injuries
and physical problems which she claim she suffered.
2. Plaintiff's pleading does not describe the injuries she claimed to have suffered
with sufficient specificity that Defendants can prepare a responsive pleading or prepare
to defend Plaintiff's claim against them.
WHEREFORE, Defendants move this court to order Plaintiff to file a more specific
pleading.
COUNT II - MOTION TO STRIKE

correspondence to counsel for Ms. Folgueras on January 18, 2002. It is believed and therefore
averred that the correspondence was not received by Plaintiffs counsel on the same date it was
mailed; therefore, Plaintiffs allegation that the correspondence was received on January 18,
2002, is denied. The remaining allegations in Paragraph 8 of Plaintiffs Motion contain
intentional misstatements of fact and material omissions of information and are therefore denied.
At no time did counsel for Holli M. Hill advise Plaintiffs counsel that Ms, Hall was six to eight
weeks pregnant. Such information was communicated by a letter from Defendant Hill's doctor, a
copy of which was transmitted by Defendant Hill's counsel. True and correct copies of the

Please be advised that my client is pregnant and is considered a high-risk obstetrical case, She is
to be on modified bed rest throughout her pregnancy. Accordingly, she does not want to jeopardize the
health of her child by among other things, participating in a deposition during the time of her pregnancy,
I am enclosing a letter dated January 14, 2002 from Ms. Hill's treating physician. Please advise
whether you will agree to postpone her deposition until after delivery of her child or if! will need to file a
motion for a protective order.
Yours truly,

Re: Holli Hill
DOB: 3/3/65
To Whom It Moy Concem:
Regarding the above-named patient who is currently under our care tor pregnancy, patient is
considered a high-risk obstetrical case. The patient's prior obstetric history is significant for history
of mOllerian malformation of uterus didelphys, which puts her at risk for pre-term labor, The
patient's two prior pregnancies were complicated by pre-term labor and need for tocolytic
therapy, both inpatient and outpatient.
Given these risk factors and previous pre-term delivery at 33 weeks and 37 weeks gestation, it is
recommended that Ms. Hill be on modified bed rest throughout her pregnancy. The restrictions
with respect to her physical activity may also be extended to strict bed rest with advancing
gestation. Ms, Hillis currently six to eight weeks pregnant with mild hyperemesis gravidarum,
i '~
Ms, Hill also has a ~ old under her care and therefore it is recommended that she not
pursue any part or fulltime work outside of the home and may require assistance in the care of
this child as the pregnancy progresses, given her prior obstetric history,
If there are any questions or further information is required. please do not hesitate to contact our
offices s needed,

1. Plaintiff's Complaint avers that Plaintiff suffered "emotional distress with physical
manifestations" and "mental pain and suffering" without describing the exact injuries
and physical problems which she claim she suffered.
2. Plaintiff's pleading does not describe the injuries she claimed to have suffered
with sufficient specificity that Defendants can prepare a responsive pleading or prepare
to defend Plaintiff's claim against them.
WHEREFORE, Defendants move this court to order Plaintiff to file a more specific
pleading.
COUNT II . MOTION TO STRIKE
3. Plaintiff's Complaint appears to make a claim for punitive damages.
4. Plaintiff's Complaint does not comply with the Rules of Court because there is
not a separate count in her Complaint raising her claim for punitive damages.
I 5. Plaintiff's Complaint makes a complaint for financial damages on a claim for
invasion of privacy. Her Complaint, however. states and identifies no injuries she has
suffered. and no financial damages she has incurred as a result of the alleged invasion
1 of her privacy.

contains no statement of the injuries she claims to have suffered or the financial
,
