STUTTING, her hnsband, Plaintiffs : IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF : CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA vs. : NO. 01-6865 CIVIL TERM : CIVIL ACTION PAIGE PYNOS, Defendant : JURY TRIAL DEMANDED PLAINTIFFS' BRIEF IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO COMPEL I. GENERAL BACKGROUND On December 17, 1999, Mrs. Stutting was driving their automobile south on U.S. Routes 11 & 15 in the vicinity of the Camp Hill Shopping Center. The Defendant, Paige Pynos was driving her automobile north on U.S. Routes 11 & 15 when the Defendant improperly turned her vehicle left, into the path of the Plaintiffs' vehicle and collided with Plaintiffs vehicle causing personal injuries to the Plaintiffs and damage to their vehicle. II. PROCEDURAL mSTORY On December 4, 200 I the Plaintiffs commenced their cause of action against the Defendant via a Writ of Summons followed by a Complaint on January 23, 2002. On February 8, 2002 Defendant filed her Answer and New Matter. On February 27, 2002, Plaintiffs' filed their Reply to Defendant's New Matter. After the pleadings were closed, the parties engaged in discovery with each party answering the other party's Interrogatories. On April 29, 2002, Defendant's counsel served upon Plaintiffs Notice of Intent to Serve Subpoenas. Due to internal challenges within the Plaintiffs' -,'w!'j; ~,4J.. . -~- ,-~,......." '1_-1-. - ", " r " - counsel's office, Plaintiffs' counsel did not file objections to the Notice of mtent to Serve Subpoenas in accordance in Pa R.C.P. 4009.21. On June 5, 2002, the Defendant served 11 subpoenas upon Mrs. Stutting's health care providers, which requested information. Upon learning that some of Mrs. Stutting's health care providers were served with a subpoena, Plaintiffs' counsel took immediate action to protect the privacy and confidentiality of Plaintiffs Wife's medical records. Plaintiffs' counsel sent a memo, dated June 27, 2002 to Mrs. Stutting's medical providers upon whom the subpoenas were served. The said memo stated, in part: "I hereby direct that you do not release any documents, records or things per the Subpoena unless and until a Certified Order of Court executed by a Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, is presented toyou giving you specific directions concerning the release of Mrs. Stutting's private medical records." Defendant's counsel was copied on all correspondence to the medical providers. On July 25,2002 Defendant's counsel filed a Motion to Compel Compliance with Subpoenas and requested the court to assess Defendant's legal fees in the amount of $500.00 against Plaintiffs' counsel. By an Order, dated August 5, 2002, your Honorable Court established on August 5, 2002 at 3:00 P.M. in Courtroom No.4 to consider oral argument on Defendant's motion. m. AGRUMENT Defendant's Motion to Compel Production of Medical Records Shonld be Denied and a Protective Order is Appropriate Becanse the Defendant Does not Have an Absolnte Right to Plaintiff's Entire Medical History When the Plaintiff Does Not Claim Recovery for Injuries Aggravated by Her Accident. Although Defendant's right to discovery is broad, this right is not absolute. The limitations of discovery are contained in Pa. R.C. P. 4011 as stated in part, that "No discovery. . . 2 f'(i"l""1 - shall be permitted which... ;(b) would cause unreasonable annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, burden or expense to the deponent or any party; (c) is beyond the scope of discovery as set forth in Rules 4003.1 through 4003.6 '" Pa. R.C. P. 4011." It/. It is also well accepted in Pennsylvania to allow a defendant in a personal injury lawsuit the discovery of a plaintiffs entire medical record, including that which is impertinent, is not the intent of the liberal rules of full discovery. See, Slayton v. BiebeL 37 Pa. D. & C. 4th 140 (Crawford 1998) (denying defendant's request to umestricted access to all plaintiffs medical records); See also, DeLuca v. Leon, !D. & C.3d 185 (phila. 1977) (denying broad authorization and defendant's request to compel production of all plaintiffs medical records). The privacy of a patient's medical records is governed by a statue 42 Pa. C.S.A. Section 5929 that states that, "No physician shall be allowed, in any civil matter, to disclose any information which he acquired in attending the patient in a professional capacity, and which was necessary to enable him to act in that capacity, which shall tend to blacken the character of the patient, without consent of said patient, except in civil matters brought by such patient, for damages on account of personal injuries." It appears, however, that Defendant interprets the above statute to allow for the discovery of everything in Mrs. Stutting's medical records although the information will have no significance or relevance to this civil action. Furthermore, this information is available to Defendant by oral deposition of Mrs. Stutting's treating physicians. See, DeLuca, supra at 188 ("If defendants are not satisfied with copies of records supplied by the Plaintiffs and are desirous of a more ample discovery of plaintiff s medical condition, they will have to revert to oral deposition of the 3 0-.':. 11>; ; 1;'~"I'J;_"," ~, ,_ /__,., _ ,~. : _P~'; ....,. ~~. '-'I' 0" - -. ~ ,. - , ,. .' if' doctor... and limit themselves to discovery of all information relevant to plaintiffs personal injuries allegedly suffered by at the hands of the defendants' negligence."). Furthermore, although Pa.R.C.P. 4003.1 allows discovery of any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter of the pending action, this Court has the authority to control and limit discovery through the use of protective orders. Under Pa.R.c.P. 4012(a)(5), the Court may issue a protective order which is appropriate to protect a Plaintiffs medical records when the information sought is irrelevant, will not lead to relevant matter, and is personal and confidential. See, Roberts v. Nicolia, 8 Pa. D. & C. 4th 97 (Erie 1990) (holding that a plaintiff in a personal injury action may request a protective order to prevent disclosure of medical records that are irrelevant and personal). With the exception of the medical treatment that Plaintiff received for treatment of her injuries related to this motor vehicle impact, Mrs. Stutting's health-related treatment for conditions not related to the motor vehicle impact are a private and privileged nature. Defendant, however, seeks medical records, which reflect treatment for previous health conditions that are not relevant to the injuries sustained as a direct result of the motor vehicle impact. Finally, Plaintiffs, in their Complaint, are not claiming recovery from Defendant for aggravation or related pre-existing conditions. (See Complaint at Paragraphs 8 and 9). This Court has been fair-handed in balancing the rules of discovery against the right of injured parties to their privacy and yet allow discovery of relevant medical records to the defense. 4 -'4"'~T_ , .,,---.----,-., "-- "1" ", ' ~_-.."" 'if: In the pending of case of Patterson v. Rite Aid Corooration. No. 2000-794 Civil Term (Cumberland County, Pennsylvania), this Court did just that when Defense counsel Subpoenaed Plaintiffs medical records. Attached, at Exhibit "A" is this Honorable Court's Protective Order, dated March 7, 2001 in the Patterson case. The Plaintiffs respectfully suggest that such an Order would be appropriate in this case. IV. AGRUMENT The Court Should Craft a Protective Order Concerning Plaiutiff's Medical Records and No Attorney Fees should be Imposed Against Plaintiffs' Counsel For the Nunc Pro Tunc Objection to Defendant's Overly Broad and Improper Subpoenas. Admittedly, Plaintiffs' counsel objected in good faith but, nevertheless, nunc pro tunc, in responding to Defendant's overly broad and objectionable Subpoenas of medical records. The delay in objecting was due in part to the unexpected medical challenges faced by Plaintiffs counsel's law partner, who is also the Plaintiffs counsel's daughter. The delav in timelv obiecting to Defendant's subpoenas. however. has not delaved this case in anv manner. Had Plaintiffs counsel not been limited with the demands of the illness and medical challenges of his daughter/law partner, objections would have been timely filed and Defendant would have had to file a Motion Compel the Production of Document which is where we are right now. Furthermore, Plaintiffs' counsel took immediate action to protect his client's medical records which are private and confidential and do not pertain to injuries received as a result of a collision on December 17, 1999. Therefore, Plaintiffs' counsel respectfully submits the Court would be justified in allowing the nunc pro tunc objections to Defendant's subpoenas and finding that the objections are made in 5 ;'"-",~,_::UJ" ,.- '.~ - ',,-~ ," "'-~', '" -'0'-1, ,.- .. ~," good faith on behalf of the Plaintiffs. As such, Defendant's request for assessment against Plaintiffs' counsel for Defendant's legal fees in the amount of $500.00 should be denied. V. CONCLUSION Plaintiff does not object to Defendant's subpoenas for medical records and other treatment documents related to the injuries described in her Complaint. Although Plaintiffs has impliedly waived the doctor-patient privilege to the extent that Mrs. Stutting relies on her medical condition to recover damages, waiver of this privilege applies only to the records of the examining and treating physicians to the extent that the contents are relevant and material to the injuries sustained by Plaintiff's Wife. Thus, this Honorable Court should not grant to Defendant broad authorization to have access to all of Mrs. Stutting's medical records throughout her entire lifetime when Mrs. Stutting neither claims damages for aggravation of existing medical conditions, nor when oral depositions by attending physicians are available to the Defendant. Defendant's motion to gain possession of a complete set of all medical records is beyond the scope ofPa. R.C.P. 4003.1 and 4003.6 because the treatment received at these facilities was privileged and not relevant to the injuries sustained by Mrs. Stutting. Therefore, the Plaintiffs submits this Honorable Court would be justified in issuing a protective order under Pa. R.C.P. 4012(a)(5) to limit the scope of Defendant's access to those medical treatment records that are relevant to the injuries that Mrs. Stutting avers in her Complaint as a direct result of her motor 6 "''''~~, -c .- _-~~ ,'_ " ~. 7, , I'" "-~-,' "1 0 .." vehicle impact. Plaintiffs respectfully submit the Honorable Court deny Defendant's claim for Attorney Fees and should, instead, enter an Order similar to the Order that shown in Exhibit "A."

Biebel, 37 D&C.4'h, 140 (1998), it is ordered and directed that the defendant may serve subpoenas upon medical providers so long as the records requested by each such subpoena are required to be forwarded directly to counsel for the plaintiff. Counsel for the plaintiff shall promptly review all such subpoenaed records and documents and forward to counsel for defendant all records which plaintiffs counsel deems to be those relevant to this proceeding, along with a brief description of the records not provided and an explanation as to why those records were not provided. Thereafter, if there are any unresolved disputes regarding the discovery of the subpoenaed records and documents, counsel for defendant may file an appropriate motion with the court asking that there be an in camera inspection regarding any records that may be in dispute so that the court may determine if there is anything that is further discoverable.

No. 01-6865 Civil Term Dear Mr. Coyne: I am in receipt of your fax dated June 28, 2002. You are absolutely correct that the subpoenas do not limit the request for documents to records which relate to the treatment Ms. Stutting received in the December 17, 1999 motor vehicle accident. My intention is to obtain all of Ms. Stutting's records. I would like to know whether she has any pre-existing problems. Furthermore, I would like to know if she has had any subsequent accidents or injuries. I respectfully request that you formally withdraw your objection. If you do not withdraw the objection I will have no recourse but to file a Motion to Compel with the Court. Please contact my office so that we can discuss the same and determine how I must proceed.

''1: , " IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA JENNIFER R. AND GERALD L. STUTTING, Plaintiffs, Civil Action - Law vs. No. 01-6865 PAIGE PYNOS, Defendant. Jury Trial Demanded DEFENDANT PYNOS' MOTION TO COMPEL COMPLIANCE WITH SUBPOENAS 1 . This lawsuit arises out of a motor vehicle accident which occurred on December 17, 1999. 2. Plaintiff initiated the lawsuit with the filing of a Writ of Summons on December 4, 2001. Plaintiff filed a Complaint on January 23, 2002. 3. In the Complaint, Plaintiff Jennifer Stutting alleges that as a result of the motor vehicle accident, she has suffered "severe injuries to her body in the nature of bruises to her chin; bruised left bicep; pain in her shoulders, neck and back; pain inthe top of her leg; bruises on the top of her head; headaches, spasms and stiffness in her neck; pain in her back which radiates down both legs; lacerations of her chin; and chronic pain syndrome". (See No.8 of Plaintiff's Complaint which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1) 4. Counsel for Defendant has attempted to obtain Plaintiff's medical records. On April 29, 2002, Defendant served Plaintiff with a Notice of Intent to Serve Subpoenas. Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 4009.21, Plaintiff had 20 days to file any objection. Plaintiff did not file any objection within the 20-day period with :;: 'A~,~~ .l,' , > 'r--"~','" _"",_,;:,~,",~" ''', '" :"'_ ,'5" - , '_",,"~ .,," '~,' ',~=~ '_"_ ,,~ " ",-,^, , -'1"_ ,':",;:""" , . _ ~_ __b_ __ , ' I 1 ~ '1 .. either the Court or Defense counsel. (The Notice of Intent is attached hereto as Exhibit 2) 5. On May 31,2002, Defendant requested the Cumberland County Prothonotary's Office to issue the subpoenas. Prior to this time, Plaintiff did not file any objections. 6. On June 5, 2002, Defendant served eleven (11) subpoenas on Plaintiff Stutting's health care providers. The subpoenas requested the custodian of records to produce Plaintiff's Stutting's medical records within 20 days. (A subpoena and a letter to a health care provider is attached as Exhibit 3) 7. On July 1, 2002, Plaintiff's counsel faxed a letter to Defense counsel. For the first time, Plaintiff's counsel registered an objection to the subpoenas. In addition, Plaintiff's counsel attached a copy of the letters he had sent to the health care providers. The letter to the health care providers is dated June 27, 2002 and directs the health care providers not to "release any documents or things per the subpoenas". (See fax attached as Exhibit 4) 8. Since that time, several health care providers have indicated that they cannot produce records in response to the subpoenas because of Plaintiff's counsel's letter. (See letter attached as Exhibit 5) 9. The subpoenas were properly issued by the Cumberland County Prothonotary's Office and properly served by Defense counsel. 10. Pursuant to Rule 234.5, Defense counsel could file a motion to compel against every health care provider who has not produced Plaintiff Stutting's :'~~J_, --";1"~',-"';">-";'_- ',' - 1-~'-~-' =l;",_.:,~"_;,, -"-, '_"" ~-'.' -; "',' ' ~ ~ -, , . - ",,',~ '- _,'-,_, " of. ~""',,. - ~, I' - < ~;~"t:->r-':r """ ,'"-'- ,""',.-'~" ,~, " , " 'T '- records. Rule 234.5 provides that the Court could issue a bench warrant or hold someone in contempt. 11 . Defense counsel believes that the health care providers have not produced the records because of Attorney Coyne's June 27, 2002 letter. Thus, Defendant has elected to file this Motion. 1 2. Attorney Coyne did not file a timely objection to the subpoenas. Rather, he has written to each health care provider and instructed them to ignore a valid subpoena. In essence, Attorney Coyne has interfered with the discovery process and has advised individuals to ignore the Pa. Rules of Civil Procedure. 13. Even if the objection was timely, the objection has no merit. Attorney Coyne has requested that the subpoenas be ignored because they do not limit the request to records which relate to the motor vehicle accident of December 1999. 14. Ms. Stutting alleges that she suffered a multitude of problems because of the motor vehicle accident. What injuries and what treatment she received as a result of the motor vehicle accident will be the topic of expert testimony. To fully understand what injuries Plaintiff received because of the motor vehicle accident, defense medical experts will need to know Plaintiff's pre-existing problems and conditions. Similarly, defense medical experts will need to know what treatment Ms. Stutting received prior to the motor vehicle accident. 15. In addition, Ms. Stutting was involved in a subsequent motor vehicle accident. The experts may disagree as to what injuries, if any, were caused by the 1 999 motor vehicle accident and what injuries were caused by the subsequent motor vehicle accident.

Finally, if Plaintiff's medical records contain items which Plaintiff alleges are not related to the alleged 1999 motor vehicle accident, then Plaintiff's counsel may file a motion in limine and request the Court for an Order precluding a witness from discussing these items at the time of trial. 17. Defendant files this Motion and requests the Court for an Order instructing the health care providers to ignore Attorney Coyne's letter of June 27, 2002 and to produce all records for Jennifer Stutting within 20 days. 18. Defendant has incurred additional expenses because of the Plaintiff's counsel's letter. Defendant requests the Court to order Plaintiff's counsel to pay Defendant's legal fees associated with this matter of $500.00. WHEREFORE, Defendant Pynos respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant the Motion to Compel Compliance with Subpoenas. GRIFFITH, STRICKLER, LERMAN, SOL YMOS & CALKINS BY: MICH EL B.
