ANSWER TO COMPLAINT
NOW THIS _12 day of September, 1999, comes the Defendants, Lawrence
Shauf, on behalf of the partnership, by and through their attorney, Frederick B. Gieg, Jr.,
and files the following Answer and New Matter:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Denied. After reasonable investigation Defendants are without sufficient
knowledge to form a belief as to the truth of the averment herein and the same is therefore
denied and strict proof is demanded at time of trial.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted Defendants vacated the
premises, but before the end of the leased period, namely July 27, 1999, but it is denied
they failed to pay the monthly rental sum due under the lease for June and July. On the
contrary, Defendants offered to pay the lease monies for June and July but Plaintiff
refused the same instead wanting late charges, collection fees and additional attorney's
fees.
6. Denied. On the contrary, Defendants tried to reason with Plaintiff and in fact
issued a check to the Plaintiff which he refused to accept. With regard to attorney's fees,
Plaintiff appeared by himself and therefore cannot charge attorney's fees, but more
importantly, attorney's fees were limited to 7% for collection in accordance with XIX and
the Plaintiff cannot attempt to recover attorney's fees in paragraph 5 and additional
attorney's fees. Furthermore, the District Magistrate Judgment is of no moment as that
was appealed and the matter is before the Court de novo.
7. Admitted.
8. Denied. After reasonable investigation Defendants are'without sufficient
knowledge to form a belief as to the truth of the averment herein and the same is therefore
denied and strict proof is demanded at time of trial.
9. Denied. After reasonable investigation Defendants are without sufficient
knowledge to form a belief as to the truth of the averment herein and the same is therefore
denied and strict proof is demanded at time of trial.
10. Denied. After reasonable investigation Defendants are without sufficient
knowledge to form a belief as to the truth of the averment herein and the same is therefore
denied and strict proof is demanded at time of trial.
11. It is admitted Defendant paid a $3,000 security deposit. With regard to XI-
Maintenance, the same is ambiguous under B in that it requires Lessor to maintain the
windows and exterior doors and then says that Lessee shall be responsible for plate glass
in doors and windows. Said ambiguity must be interpreted against Lessor who prepared
said Lease.
12. Denied. After reasonable investigation Defendants are without sufficient
knowledge to form a belief as to the truth of the averment herein and the same is therefore
denied and strict proof is demanded at time of trial.
13. Denied and strict proof of the same is demanded at trial.
14. It is admitted Plaintiff advised Defendant of certain plate glass damage, but it is
denied the Defendant's should be responsible for repair of the same and it is further
denied that the amount set forth to repair the same is reasonable or necessary. Lastly,
Defendant should not be responsible for the actions of a third party.
15. Denied as Defendant should be entitled to return of the entire security deposit
plus interest for the reasons as heretofore given.
16. It is denied that the recapitulation is appropriate and strict proof of all amounts
as set forth herein is demanded at time of trial as Defendant denies each and every
calculation.
WHEREFORE, Defendant request Complaint be denied and dismissed.
By way of further answer, Defendants file the following New Matter:
NEW MATTER
17. If there were bb holes shot into the plate glass windows during the term of this
tenancy, the same of which is denied, tenant cannot be held responsible for actions of a
third party under any circumstances.
18. Plaintiff is not entitled to attorney's fees beyond that which is set forth in
paragraph XIX which limits the same to 7%.
WHEREFORE, Defendants request that the Complaint be denied and dismissed
and that they be awarded the $3,000 security deposit plus 6% interest from June 20, 1997
to present.
Respectfully submitted,

PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO DEFENDANTS' NEW MATTER
17. Paragraph 17 of Defendants' New Matter pleads conclusions of law to which no
response is required. In the alternative, Paragraph XI.B, of the subject lease agreement places
responsibility for damage or breakage to plate glass in doors and windows on the Lessee,
Defendants herein. Thus, in the first instance, their duty to restore the plate glass windows is
owed to the Landlord, Plaintiff herein, and they may not avoid this duty by suggesting
responsibility for breakage is that of third persons unknown and unknowable to the Plaintiff. If
Defendants wish to mitigate their damage by pursuing liable third persons after they have fulfilled
their responsibility to Plaintiff, this is their prerogative. but their primary duty owed to Plaintiff
for restoration of the damage is not diminished or abrogated thereby.
18. Paragraph 18 pleads conclusions of law to which no response is required. In the
alternative, the attorney tee claimed by Plaintiff is correctly computed and is due and owing
Plaintiff under the terms of the subject lease.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Joseph H. Kleinfelter demands judgment against the Defendants,
Lawrence Shaut; Janice Susi, Dennis Hart, James Foreman and Kevin Naugle, co-partners, t/d/b/a
ProCare Rehabilitation, a partnership in the sum of Six Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Three
Dollars and Thirty-Seven Cents ($6,373.37) together with interest from August 1, 1999 and the
costs of this suit as demanded in Plaintiff's Complaint.

CIVIL ACTION - LAW
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff is Joseph H. Kleinfelter, an adult individual residing at 1121 Piketown
Road, Harrisburg, PA 17112-9056 (Lower Paxton Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania).
2. Defendants are Lawrence Shauf, Janice Susi, Dennis Hart, James Foreman and
Kevin Naugle, all adult individuals and sui juris, who are co-partners in, and trade as, ProCare
Rehabilitation, a Pennsylvania Partnership, and whose principal office is situate at 300 East Plank
Road, Altoona, Pennsylvania 16602.
3. At all material times Plaintiff has been and continues to be the sole owner of the
commercial premises situate at 4343 Carlisle Pike, Camp Hill 17011 (Hampden Township)
Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
4. On June 20, 1996 Plaintiff leased the subject premises to Defendants under and
pursuant to the terms of a certain Lease Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein
by reference, and a true and exact copy thereof being attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
5. The Defendants vacated the premises at the end of the agreed lease term, to wit,
on July 31, 1999, but failed and refused to pay the monthly rental sum due under the lease for
the months of June and July, 1999, leaving an unpaid balance of rent due Plaintiff in the sum of
Six Thousand One Hundred Eighty Dollars ($6,180.00), plus late charges of Thirty Dollars
($30.00) per month (all computed pursuant to Paragraph VI of the lease), plus a collection fee
of seven percent (7%) of the unpaid rent, pursuant to Paragraph XIX of the lease, or a total due
and owing Plaintiff for unpaid rent in the sum of Six Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Six and
80/100 ($6,676.80) Dollars.
6. Because Defendants, notwithstanding demand by Plaintiff, failed and refused to
pay the rental charges due as aforesaid, it was necessary for Plaintiff to seek collection in an
action before District Justice Thomas Placey, thus causing Plaintiff to incur costs and attorney
fees in the total sum of Five Hundred Fifty-Nine Dollars and Eighty-Two Cents ($559.82), which
sum is also due and owing Plaintiff pursuant to Paragraph XIX of the lease. A copy of the
District Justice's judgment evidencing same is attached as Exhibit "B".
7. During the term of the lease, Defendants were responsible for payment of all utility
services provided to the premises, including charges for water and sewer, pursuant to Paragraph
X of the lease.
8. Plaintiff has incurred responsibility for a charge for water and sewer service
rendered Defendants during the lease term, in the sums of $84.45 and $55.76, respectively,
because Defendants failed and refused to pay for certain water and sewer services which was their
obligation under the lease term. Copies of the pertinent water and sewer bills are attached as
Exhibits "C" and "D".
2
9. Accordingly, in order to avoid imposition of utility service liens, Plaintiff has paid
the aforesaid water and sewer charges.
10. Plaintiff, in addition to other sums due and owing him from Defendants, is thus
entitled to reimbursement by Defendants for the aforesaid water and sewer service charges in the
sum of One Hundred Forty Dollars and Twenty-One Cents ($140.21).
11. At the inception of the lease Defendants placed a security deposit in the sum of
Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000.00) with Plaintiff, pursuant to Paragraph VII of the lease. This
deposit was intended to secure Defendants' performance of the lease terms, including particularly
Paragraph XI "Maintenance" which placed responsibility upon Defendants for "damage and
breakage to the plate glass in doors and windows".
12. After Defendants vacated the premises and Plaintiff was able to conduct an
inspection, Plaintiff discovered that four (4) plate glass windows had been damaged to the extent
that replacement would be required.
13. Plaintiff is informed and believes, and therefore avers, that the aforesaid plate glass
damage was sustained on or about March 30 and March 31, 1998, during Defendants' term of
occupancy.
14. Plaintiff has advised Defendants of the plate glass damage and that the necessary
replacement and repair costs will total One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-Seven Dollars and
Four Cents ($1,997.04), and has further advised Defendants that this sum would be set-off against
the aforesaid security deposit being held by Plaintiff. A copy of the plate glass replacement and
repair estimate is attached as Exhibit "E".
3
15. Accordingly, Defendants are entitled to a credit for the balance of the security
deposit, to wit, One Thousand Two Dollars and Ninety-Six Cents ($1,002.96).
16. A recapitulation of the sums due Plaintiff is as follows:
Unpaid Rent $6,180.00
Late Charges 60.00
Collection Fee 436.80
Attorney Fee 444.82
Judgment Costs 114.50
Water & Sewer Charges 140.21
Plate Glass Damage $1,997.04
Gross Amount of Claim $9,373.37
Less Security Deposit -3.000.00
Net Amount of Claim $6,373.37
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Joseph H. Kleinfelter demands judgment against Defendants
Lawrence Shauf, Janice Susi, Dennis Hart, James Foreman and Kevin Naugle, jointly and
severally, co-partners, trading as ProCare Rehabilitation, a partnership, in the sum of Six
Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Three Dollars and Thirty-Seven Cents ($6,373.37), together
with interest from August 1, 1999 and the costs of this suit, said total sum demanded being
within the compulsory arbitration limit and thus requiring referral for compulsory arbitration
pursuant to the applicable State and Local rules.

Dear Mr. Long:
Thank you for responding to my letter and for advising me the steps I might f
follow in, making a complaint,against the, legal system. .
I must add to you that it certainly makes me question, again, the appropriateness
of your sending a copy of your letter to G. Thomas Miller and District Justice Thomas
Placey'instead of to the two people I had copied by my letter, Mr. Miller,had no direct

Carlisle, PA 17013-3387
Dear Mr. Long,
This letter is a formal complaint against District Justice Thomas Placey. In case
#1999-04967 Judge Joseph Kleinfelter vs. ProCare, though appealed, District Justice
Thomas Placey's actions and decisions need to be reviewed by the Prothonetary's
office. Prior to the hearing, Justice Placey socially greeted the Judge and began
reminiscing about country club outings. Throughout the hearing, he consistently referred
to Mr. Kleinfelter as "Judge Kleinfelter" and to me as "you". I was under the impression
that in a court of law all title formalities were to be dropped and the defendant and the
prosecution were to be referred to as "Mr., Mrs., and/or Ms.". Justice Placey displayed
his prejudice against me and demonstrated that he was annoyed with me and this case
against Judge Kleinfelter. I then became quite educated that politics within the legal
system were going to play a role in this outcome. I requested that because Judge
Kleinfelter and Justice Placey were friends that the Justice would please dismiss himself
from the hearing. He refused.
Secord!y, I would question the ethics in Judge Kleinfelter's self-representation. I
am under the supposition that it is unethical and improper, against state and/or local
statutes, for a Judge to function as an attorney representing himself or anyone else
during his term of office.
If for some reason this letter cannot serve as a formal complaint, please advise
me to the appropriate procedure(s) to be used in filing an official complaint.

Dear Mr. Shauf,

John E. Slike
Solicitor
This is in reference to your letter dated December 29, 1999. Written in your letter you state that "District
Justice Placey's actions and decisions need to be reviewed by the Prothonotary's Office."
The President Judge, GEORGE E. HOFFER, addresses all formal complaints concerning any District
Justice actions. A complaint must be sent to the Judicial Board. Another recourse is to choose to appeal
the decision in the Court of Common Pleas.
Sincerely,
2?
