Samuel E. Rock, Jr., by and through their attorneys, the Family Law Clinic, seeking sole physical
custody of Pierson Robert Rock and an emergency hearing. Petitioners state the following in
support of their Petition for Special Relief:
1. Petitioners are Amy A. Coy and Samuel E. Rock, Jr., who reside at 534 Warm
Spring Road, Apartment No.1, Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania,
17201.
2. Respondents are John and Pam Reeder, who reside at 25 East Main Street, Walnut
Bottom, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17266.
3. Petitioners are the biological parents of Pierson Robert Rock, a five-month-old
baby boy, bom April 25, 2000.
4. Respondent, Pam Reeder, is the maternal grandmother of Pierson Robert Rock.
Respondent, John Reeder, is not biologically related to Pierson.
-- .~

5. Petitioners have been the primary caregivers for the child, having done the
majority of the feeding, bathing, dressing and nurturing of the child since birth.
6. Pierson Rock has resided with Petitioners, Amy A. Coy and Samuel E. Rock, Jr.,
since birth, at 534 Warm Spring Road, Apartment No.1, Chambersburg, Franklin
County, Pennsylvania, 17201.
7. On September 5, 2000, Respondents filed a Complaint for Custody and
Petition for Special Relief.
8. On September 8, 2000, in an ex parte proceeding, without giving Arny A. Coy
and Samuel E. Rock, Jr. an opportunity to be heard, an Order of Court was
entered granting Respondents temporary custody of Pierson Rock. A copy of the
September 8, 2000 Order is attached as Exhibit A.
9. Petitioner Amy A. Coy has seen Pierson Rock only once, under supervision, since
September 8, 2000. Petitioner Samuel E. Rock, Jr. has not seen Pierson Rock
since September 8, 2000.

Pierson Rock.
11. The best interests and permanent welfare of Pierson Rock will be served by
returning him to his parents, Amy A. Coy and Samuel E. Rock, Jr., because:
a. Petitioners, Amy A. Coy and Samuel E. Rock, Jr., have been the primary
caregivers for Pierson Rock since birth;
b. Pierson Rock, who is only five months old, needs the care and nurture of
his parents, with whom he has lived since birth;

important to Pierson's growth and development.
d. Pam and John Reeder do not have standing to bring an action for custody
of Pierson Rock under 23 PaC.SA g 5311-5313.
e. Granting temporary custody to Pam and John Reeder interferes with the
parent-child relationship and is not in the best interests of Pierson Rock.
WHEREFORE Defendants/Petitioners request the court to return the child immediately
to his parents, Amy A. Coy and Samuel E. Rock, Jr., and to grant an emergency hearing in this
matter.

AMY COY AND SAM ROCK,

: CIVIL ACTION - LAW
: CUSTODY
PETITION FOR LEAVE TO WITHDRAW
Petitioner, the Family Law Clinic, hereby petitions to withdraw from further
representation of Amy Coy (Mother) and Sam Rock (Father) , pursuant to Rules 1.9( a) and
1.16 (a)(3) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct and Pa.R.C.P. 1012, and in
support thereof avers the following:
1. On September 5, 2000, Mr. and Mrs. Reeder (Step-Grandfather and Grandmother)
filed a Complaint for Custody of Mother and Father's minor child.
2. Also on September 5, 2000, Step-Grandfather and Grandmother filed a Petition
for Emergency Relief.
3. On September 8, 2000, upon consideration of the Step-Grandfather's and
Grandmother's Petition for Special Relief, this Court granted Step-Grandfather and Grandmother
temporary primary physical custody of the minor child pending conciliation and/or further Order
of Court.
4. After a hearing on September 20,2000, custody of the minor child was returned to
Mother and Father, pending conciliation and/or further Order of Court.
5. At that time, a conciliation was scheduled for October 4, 2000.
~' ,..; ,,' _ ~o. ~ '<._
" ,;,:, ~ ~ ,,,,--,,
6. Step-Grandfather and Grandmother later cancelled the conciliation, and custody
of the child remained with Mother and Father.
7. Some time thereafter, Mother informed the Family Law Clinic that Mother and
Father had separated, and Mother and child were residing with Step-Grandfather and
Grandmother.
8. On July 5, 2001, the Family Law Clinic received a draft custody agreement and
order from Step-Grandfather and Grandmother's attorney, Karl Rominger, relating to the minor
child.
9. The Family Law Clinic immediately contacted Mother by telephone.
10. Step-Grandfather informed the Family Law Clinic that Mother is now being
represented by Karl Rominger as well.
11. On July 6, 2001, The Family Law Clinic sent a letter to Mother and a letter to
Father, asking Mother to inform the Clinic if Mr. Rominger was not representing her, explaining
to both Mother and Father that the Clinic could not represent them in an action against one
another, and asking them both to contact the Clinic if they had any questions, or needed
assistance in locating other representation.
12. Neither Mother nor Father has contacted the Clinic.
13. The Family Law Clinic is unable to represent either party in this matter, as such
representation would violate Rule 1.9(a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional
Responsibility.
14. On August 16,2001, The Family Law Clinic contacted Karl Rominger, Esquire,
to ask whether he contests this Petition to Withdraw. Mr. Rominger informed the Family Law
Clinic that he does not contest this Petition to Withdraw.

PETITION FOR LEAVE TO WITHDRAW
Petitioner, the Family Law Clinic, hereby petitions to withdraw from further
representation of Amy Coy (Mother) and Sam Rock (Father) , pursuant to Rules 1.9( a) and
1.16 (a)(3) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct and Pa.R.C.P. 10 12, and in
support thereof avers the following:
1. On September 5, 2000, Mr. and Mrs. Reeder (Step-Grandfather and Grandmother)
filed a Complaint for Custody of Mother and Father's minor child.
2. Also on September 5, 2000, Step-Grandfather and Grandmother filed a Petition
for Emergency Relief.
3. On September 8, 2000, upon consideration of the Step-Grandfather's and
Grandmother's Petition for Special Relief, this Court granted Step-Grandfather and Grandmother
temporary primary physical custody of the minor child pending conciliation and/or further Order
of Court.
4. After a hearing on September 20, 2000, custody of the minor child was returned to
Mother and Father, pending conciliation and/or further Order of Court.
5. At that time, a conciliation was scheduled for October 4, 2000.
"' ..~

6. Step-Grandfather and Grandmother later cancelled the conciliation, and custody
of the child remained with Mother and Father.
7. Some time thereafter, Mother informed the Family Law Clinic that Mother and
Father had separated, and Mother and child were residing with Step-Grandfather and
Grandmother.
8. On July 5, 2001, the Family Law Clinic received a draft custody agreement and
order from Step-Grandfather and Grandmother's attomey, Karl Rominger, relating to the minor
child.
9. The Family Law Clinic immediately contacted Mother by telephone.
10. Step-Grandfather informed the Family Law Clinic that Mother is now being
represented by Karl Rominger as well.
11. On July 6, 2001, The Family Law Clinic sent a letter to Mother and a letter to
Father, asking Mother to inform the Clinic if Mr. Rominger was not representing her, explaining
to both Mother lIl1d Father that the Clinic could not represent them in an action against one
another, and asking them both to contact the Clinic if they had any questions, or needed
assistance in locating other representation.
12. Neither Mother nor Father has contacted the Clinic.
13. The Family Law Clinic is unable to represent either party in this matter, as such
representation would violate Rule 1.9( a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional
Responsibility.
14. On August 16,2001, The Family Law Clinic contacted Karl Rominger, Esquire,
to ask whether he contests this Petition to Withdraw. Mr. Rominger informed the Family Law
Clinic that he does not contest this Petition to Withdraw.
