v.
JUANITA E. CALAMAN and
SAMUEL A. CALAMAN,
Defendants
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNA.
NO.O1-4599 CIVIL TERM
PETITION IN OPPOSITION TO
DISMISSAL OF TAE ACTION
AND NOW come your Plaintiffs, Thomas Sheaffer, Cheri Sheaffer, Towaway Express,
Inc., t/d/b/a American Trailer Transportations, and Trailer Transport, Inc. by and through their
counsel, Cunningham & Chernicoff, P.C. who file this Objection to Purge and in support thereof
avers the following:
1. This action was filed on behalf of the Plaintiffs against the Defendants in an action
at law seeking recovery under a theory of breach of fiduciary duty.
2. On March 21, 2002, Plaintiffs also filed an action in equity filed to Equity No. 02-
1394 Civil Term under which equity action, this Court enjoined the Defendant, Juanita Calaman
from selling any and all property and enjoining any and all deeds transferring an interest in
property until resolution of the equity action.
Plaintiffs, pursuant to a theory of breach of contract, entered into a Settlement
Agreement with M&T Bank, Plaintiffs' business bank, under which Agreement Plaintiff
Sheaffers have a duty and obligation to pursue the litigation against Samuel and Juanita Calaman
for her embezzlement of Plaintiffs' corporate funds and that any funds acquired by Sheaffer as
against the Defendants Calaman are to be shared proportionally between the Sheaffers and M&T
Bank in recognizing the contribution which M&T Bank paid to Sheaffer in settling their claim
against M&T Bank.
4. M&T Bank did not take any action to cross claim against the Calamans seeking
indemnification based upon the agreement reached with the Plaintiff Sheaffers.
Plaintiffs were delayed in their pursuit of their claim against Defendants as
Defendant Juanita Calaman was charged with embezzlement of Plaintiffs' monies in 2001 at
docket number 01-2455, Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and
sentenced to 18 months to 7 years imprisonment on August 27; 2002.
6. The Plaintiffs object to the dismissal of this action as significant discovery has
been undertaken in the parallel equity case and it desires to protect and preserve any and all
rights which it has as against the Calamans in the action at law which may differ from those in
equity and in order to protect M&T Bank's rights as it agreed it would under the documents of
settlement executed with that entity.
Defendant, Juanita Calaman, was released from imprisonment in February 2004.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Honorable Court not to purge this
matter for inactivity and to eventually consolidate this matter with the parallel action filed in
equity.
Respectfully submitted,
