RE: David L. Williams vs. Melinda M. Williams
No. 99 - 3908 Civil
In Divorce
Dear Mr. Patterson and Ms. Hoffman:
Mr. Patterson has written a letter indicating that he does not
believe discovery will take 120 days to complete; however, I do not want
to totally ignore attorney Hoffman's indication that discovery will take
three months. Consequently, as a way of trying to move this case
forward and compromise the positions of the attorneys, I am going to
issue a directive for pretrial statements. I am also persuaded by the fact
that this is a marriage, according to Mr. Patterson, of only one month.
This case should move forward expeditiously and should not require
extensive computation to produce values of marital assets.
In accordance with P.R.C.P. 1920.33(b) I am directing each counsel
to file a pretrial statement on or before Friday, April 14, 2000. Upon
receipt of the pretrial statements, I will immediately schedule a pre-

NOTE: Sanctions for failure to file pretrial statements are set
forth in subdivision (c) and (d) of Rule 1920.33.
THE ORIGINAL PRETRIAL STATEMENT SHOULD BE

FAILURE TO FILE PRETRIAL STATEMENTS AS DIRECTED

RE: David L. Williams v. Melinda M. Williams
No. 99-3908
Dear Mr. Elicker:
Enclosed is the certification for the Plaintiff, David L.
Williams, that you requested concerning discovery in this case.
Please note that there are only a few items of discovery that the
Plaintiff is requesting from Defendant and which Defendant should
be able to provide in less than 30 days.
In reviewing the certification submitted by Attorney Hoffman
on behalf of the Defendant Melinda Williams, most of these items
have already been provided to Attorney Hoffman. We submitted
documentation concerning Mr. Williams' assets and the 1998 Income
tax returns and paychecks were submitted at the support
conference at the Domestic Relations Office. The 1999 income tax
returns are not yet prepared or filed. We previously advised
Emily Hoffman that Mr. Williams does not have W-2 forms for 1998
and that he believes Mrs. Williams took them along with other
financial records. We ask that she return them to Mr. Williams.
The only items remaining to be produced are the 1999 W-2 forms
which will soon be available from Mr. Williams' employer and a
copy of the last paycheck stub for 1999 which can be produced.
Under the circumstances, Attorney Hoffman's request for 120
days to finalize discovery is not necessary and would only serve
to unnecessarily delay this case. All discovery can be completed
in less than 30 days.
Would you please issue a pre-trial directive and schedule
the pre-trial conference as soon as possible. This was a short
marriage of only one month and is an uncomplicated case.
Delaying the case will be prejudicial to Mr. Williams.

RE: David L. Williams v. Melinda M. Williams
No. 99-3908
Dear Mr. Elicker:
Please allow this letter to serve as confirmation with your
office that the parties have reached a settlement in this case.
Although an agreement has been signed, the parties do not want to
make the agreement a matter of record at this time. Traci
advised me that you will now file the necessary motion or request
with the court to have your appointment as Master revoked.
I have already filed the consent and waiver forms with the
Prothonotary. When I receive the order of court revoking your
appointment as Master, I will then file the praecipe to finalize
the divorce.
Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
! (? 4
