Re: Lybrand v. United Rentals, Inc.
and High Construction, Inc,
Dear Mr. Tufano:
I have reviewed the Interrogatories and, unfortunately, they are far in excess of the forty
(40) questions which are limited by the Local Rules of Cumberland County. My client therefore
has answered those questions he was able to answer.
Please call me to discuss this case.

3. At no time did plaintiffs respond or object to the discovery requests of moving
defendant.
4. Accordingly, on or about December 6, 2002, counsel for moving defendant filed a
motion to compel plaintiff to respond to its discovery requests. (A true and correct copy of said
motion has been attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "C").
5. On December 23, 2002, this Honorable Court entered an Order issuing a Rule
upon plaintiffs to show cause why the relief requested in moving defendant's motion to compel
should not be granted. (A true and correct copy of said Order has been attached hereto and
marked as Exhibit "D").
6. On January 2,2003, counsel for moving defendant forwarded this Honorable
Court's Order to Plaintiff. (A true and correct copy of said correspondence has been attached
hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "E").
7. At no time did plaintiffs respond to said Order nor to the discovery requests of
moving defendant or object to the same.
8. Consequently, moving defendant filed a petition to enforce this Honorable
Court's Order of January 2, 2003 on January 31, 2003. (A true and correct copy of said Petition
has been attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "F").
9. Again, at no time did plaintiffs respond to said Petition nor to the discovery

11. On February 19, 2003, counsel for moving defendant forwarded this Honorable
Court's Order of February 10, 2003 to Plaintiffs. (A true and correct copy of said
correspondence has been attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as Exhibit "H").
12. Once again, to date, plaintiffs have yet to respond to any of this Honorable
Court's Orders nor respond to or object to the discovery requests of moving defendant.
13. Pursuant to Peunsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 4019
(a)(l) The court may, on motion, make an appropriate order if
(viii) a party or person otherwise fails to make discovery or
to obey an order of court respecting discovery
****
(c) The court, when acting under subdivision (a) of this rule, may
make
(5) such order with regard to the failure to make discovery
as is just.
14. The Peunsylvania Superior Court has identified the following factors for trial
courts to consider when determining an appropriate sanction under Rule 4019:
(I) the nature and severity of the discovery violation;
(2) the defaulting party's willfulness or bad faith;
(3) prejudice to the opposing party;
(4) the ability to cure the prejudice; and
(5) the importance of the precluded evidence in light of the failure
to comply.
Luszczynski v. Bradley, 1999 P A Super 85,87729 A.2d 83, 87 (1999).
15. Prejudice for purposes of discovery violation is "said to result any time there is 'a
substantial diminution of a party's ability to properly present its case.'"

16. Plaintiffs have consistently disregarded this Honorable Court's Orders and
moving defendant's requests for production of documents.
17. Moving defendant is severely prejudiced in its investigation and evaluation of this
case as plaintiffs has failed to submit answers to said discovery items duly served.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, High Construction, Inc., respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court sign the attached Order directing Plaintiff to submit answers to the discovery
requests of Defendant duly served upon them within twenty (20) days and compel Plaintiffs to
reimburse moving defendant in the amount of one thousand five hundred dollars ($1500.00) for

HB:5019IvI4698-01
, ,,="' . ~.'

5. On August 9,2002, Plaintiffs filed a three-count Complaint alleging injuries
sustained when a temporary lighting unit malfunctioned.
6. The lighting unit was allegedly manufactured by "Boss Manufacturing."
7. Plaintiff, Clair L. Lybrand, is claiming to have suffered permanent injuries to his
left hand when the lighting unit collapsed downward pinning his left hand and fingers between
the tongue of the lighting unit and the edge of a concrete slab.
8. As a result of the collapse, Plaintiff allegedly sustained serious injuries to his left
hand and fingers.
9. On January 14, 2003, Defendant, United Rentals, Inc. filed an Answer with New
Matter that purported to state a Cross Claim against Boss Manufacturing Company.
10. Boss Manufacturing Company has a principal place of business located in
Kewanee, Illinois.
11. Boss Manufacturing Company manufacturers work gloves and similar protective
work apparel.
12. Boss Manufacturing Company was never served with the original complaint.
13. Counsel for United Rentals has agreed in telephone conversations and writing that
Boss Manufacturing Company is not the appropriate Boss Manufacturing named in the above-
captioned matter.
14. Despite several demands, however, United Rentals has failed to withdraw its
improperly filed and served Pa.R.C.P. 2252( d) cross claim.
15. On February 21, 2003, the undersigned counsel sent a letter to Counsel for United
Rentals Inc. advising once again of the error in naming Boss Manufacturing Company as a
defendant. (See Attachment "BOO)
HB:50191vI4698-01
'. . .~ .~.. .
."" -, .,--,~~.,""~-~.~~-~,~" .,~. --'<"i'&~tj~~:
.
16. On April I , 2004, Counsel for United Rentals Inc. filed a Petition for a Status
Conference to address discovery issues in the action.
17. Despite acknowledging that Boss Manufacturing Company is an improper party
the petition for a status conference was again served on Boss Manufacturing Company by
counsel for United Rentals.
18. United Rental's Inc. cross claim fails to allege any facts upon which Boss
Manufacturing Company could be solely liable to Plaintiffs or liable over United Rental's Inc.
19. Boss Manufacturing Company was never named in the Writ of Summons or the
Complaint.
20. Boss Manufacturing Company was never properly served with original process.
II. PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS OF BOSS MANUFACTURING COMPANY TO
CROSS CLAIM OF UNITED RENTALS INC. FOR FAILURE TO STATE A
CLAIM UNDER Pa.R.C.P. 2252(d)
21. Boss Manufacturing Company hereby incorporates the prior paragraphs as if the
same were set forth fully at length herein.
22. The cross claim against Boss Manufacturing Company purports to state a claim
that if Defendant, United Rentals Inc., is found liable to Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs' damages were
allegedly caused by the negligence, recklessness and/or carelessness and/or strict liability of
Boss Manufacturing Company.
23. United Rentals, Inc. purports to assert its cross claim Pa.R.C.P. 2252(d).
24. To assert a cross claim under Pa.R.C.P. 2252( d), a person sought to be joined
must already be a party to the action.
25. Boss Manufacturing Company was never named in the original action and was
not served with either the writ of summons or the complaint.
HB:5019IvI4698-01
J(C ", '~li~
26. Boss Manufacturing Company, therefore, is not a proper party to the action.
27. United Rentals Inc's cross claim under Pa.R.C.P. 2252(d) fails to state a claim.
28. Similarly, there are no facts alleged establishing a casual relationship between any
action taken by Boss Manufacturing Company and the damages allegedly sustained by Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Boss Manufacturing Company respectfully requests an Order sustaining
its Preliminary Objections and dismissing the cross claim as it relates to Boss Manufacturing
Company for failure to state a claim along with an award of cost and expenses including counsel
fees.
IlJ. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION TO LACK OF JURISDICTION AND
IMPROPER SERVICE OF ORIGINAL PROCESS PURSUANT TO PA.R.C.P.
NO. 1028(A)(1)
29. Boss Manufacturing Company hereby incorporates the prior paragraphs as if the
same were set forth fully at length herein.
30. Original process must be served in order to notify a defendant of an action being
commenced against them and to obtain jurisdiction over a defendant.
31. Because service of original process was never accomplished by the Plaintiff this
Honorable Court lacks jurisdiction over Boss Manufacturing Company.
WHEREFORE, Boss Manufacturing Company respectfully requests an Order sustaining
its Preliminary Objections and dismissing the cross claim filed by United Rentals Inc. as it
relates to Boss Manufacturing Company for want of jurisdiction along with an award of cost and
expenses including counsel fees.
IV. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION TO STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
32. Boss Manufacturing Company hereby incorporates the prior paragraphs as if the
same were set forth fully at length herein.
HB:50191vI4698-01
--~~-""'-'" ,- "~"':-'4'(W:;~
33. The court lacks jurisdiction over Boss Manufacturing Company because it was
never properly served within the applicable statute oflimitations.
WHEREFORE, Boss Manufacturing Company, request that judgment be entered in favor
of Boss Manufacturing Company and against United Rentals Inc., and specifically requests the
dismissal of United Rentals Inc.' s cross claim, because service of the Complaint was never
accomplished within the statute of limitations.
V. PRELIMINARY OBJECTION TO THE FAILURE TO CONFORM TO LAW OR
RULE OF COURT PA.R.C.P. NO. 1028(2)
34. Boss Manufacturing Company hereby incorporates the prior paragraphs as if the
same were set forth fully at length herein.
35. In its answer, United Rentals Inc. attempts to assert a cross claim against Boss
M,mufacturing.
36. United Rentals Inc., however, failed to conform to law or rule of court by
attempting to assert a claim under Pa.R.C.P. 2252(d) against an entity, Boss Manufacturing
Company, which is not a party to the action.
WHEREFORE, Boss Manufacturing Company respectfully requests an Order sustaining
its Preliminary Objections and dismissing the cross claim as it relates to Boss Manufacturing
Company for failure to confonn to law of rule or court pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(2), along with
an award of cost and expenses including counsel fees.
VI. DEMURRER LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING UNDER Pa.R.C.P.
1028(4)
37. Boss Manufacturing Company hereby incorporates the prior paragraphs as if the
saIne were set forth fully at length herein.
HB:5019IvI4698-01
"
..--.'"~_. -~
". ~ "*rti/;i- ~"'L"::
38. United Rentals Inc.'s Answer with New Matter and Cross Claim purports to
allege a cause of action against Boss Manufacturing Company as being liable for Plaintiffs
alleged injuries and damages.
39. Pursuant to PaRC.P. 1028(4) a Preliminary Objection can be filled for legal
insufficiency of a Pleading.
40. United Rentals Inc.'s cross claim fails to allege any facts that establish any factual
basis for liability on the part of Boss Manufacturing Company.
41. Because United Rentals Inc. fails to allege any facts, its claim is legally
insufficient as a matter of law.
WHEREFORE, Boss Manufacturing Company respectfully requests an Order sustaining
its Preliminary Objections and dismissing the cross claim as it relates to Boss Manufacturing
Company for legal insufficiency of a pleading pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. I 028(4), along with an
award of cost and expenses including counsel fees.
