4. No person who is not a Plaintiff in this action is
entitled by law to recover damages based upon the death of the
Decedent.
5. On or about July 10, 1999, Marlin L. Rudy and
Kimberly Rudy, purchased alcoholic beverages, including but not
limited to, a keg of beer for their then minor son, John Rudy.
6. On or about July 10, 1999, John Rudy transported
the keg of beer to the residence of Gordon and Donna Ocker.
7. At that time and place, a party was being held at
the residence of Gordon and Donna Ocker, by their then minor son,
Benjamin G. Ocker.
8. At that time and place, several minors, which
included Benjamin G. Ocker, John Rudy, Evan Spencer, and others
consumed alcoholic beverages at the party.
9. At approximately 9:35 p.m., after consuming
alcoholic beverages, Evan Spencer left the party in Evan
Spencer's 1992 Dodge Stealth motor vehicle, along with Eric Stum,
his passenger.
10. As Evan Spencer traveled on SR 11, Penn Township,
Cumberland County, at a high rate of speed, he lost control of
his vehicle, crossed the center line into the wrong lane of
travel, and became involved in a head-on collision.
11. Evan Spencer's inability to safely operate his
motor vehicle and the resulting accident were the direct and
proximate result of him being extremely intoxicated and unable to
properly control his vehicle.

12. As a result of the accident, the Decedent, Eric E.
Stum, suffered injuries which resulted in his death.
13. The foregoing incident and the resulting fatal
injuries sustained by the Decedent, are the direct and proximate
result of willful, wanton, reckless and negligent behavior of the
Defendants, Marlin L. Rudy and Kimberly A. Rudy, which consisted
of the following:
A. Purchasing alcoholic beverages for their minor
son, John Rudy.
B. Permitting their son, John Rudy, to transport
alcoholic beverages to a friend's house, although they knew or
should have known that it would be served to other minors,
including Evan Spencer.
c. Permitting their son, John Rudy, to consume
alcoholic beverages, although he was not of legal drinking age.
D. Intending to furnish, agreeing to furnish, or
promoting the furnishing of alcohol to various minors, including
Evan Spencer.
E. Furnishing, agreeing to furnish, or promoting
the furnishing of alcohol to various minors, including Evan
Spencer.
F. Failing to provide adequate parental
supervision of their son, John Rudy.

and wife, and Benjamin G. Ocker, which Complaint was filed at No.

4. Since the Petitioners have filed a separate action
against Gordon Ocker and Donna Ocker at No. 01-4123 civil in the
