O R D E R
The Plaintiff is present in Court. She is
not represented by counsel, but is accompanied by a
representative from ACCESS. The Defendant is also present
in the Court. He is not represented by counsel. The
Court is satisfied, however, that he has knowingly,
voluntarily and intelligently waived his right to a hearing
in this matter.
AND NOW, This 21st day of December, 1998,
the Court having jurisdiction over the parties, and the
subject matter, it is hereby ordered, adjudged and decreed
as follows:
Upon agreement of the parties for the entry
of a Consent order, this Order will be entered without any
admission of liability by the Defendant, and without any
finding of abuse by this Court.
The Plaintiffs request for a Final
Protection Order is granted. The Defendant shall not
abuse, stalk, harass, or threaten the Plaintiff, in any
place where she may be found. This prohibited conduct
includes, but is not limited to, directly or indirectly
through third persons, threatening or attempting to cause
or intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causing any
2
bodily injury or serious bodily injury to the Plaintiff,
either with or without a deadly weapon.
The Defendant is completely excluded from
the residence at which the Plaintiff now resides, or any
other residence where she may reside during the term of
this Order. The Defendant shall have no right or
privilege to enter or be on the premises.
The Defendant is prohibited from having any
contact with the Plaintiff at any location, including but
not limited to, any contact at the Plaintiff's place of
education, place of business, or place of employment. The
Defendant shall not contact the Plaintiff by telephone, or
by any other means including through third persons.
The costs of this action are waived as to
the Plaintiff and imposed upon the Defendant. The
Defendant shall pay the costs of filing, copying and
service of this petition to the Treasurer of York County,
located on the Fourth Floor, One West Marketway, York,
Pennsylvania, 17401. The costs are to be paid within 90
days of today's date. It shall be the Defendant,
Christopher J. Garrett's, responsibility to contact the
Treasurer's Office to determine the exact amount of costs,
and to notify the Treasurer's Office within 48 hours of any
change in his mailing address, or place of residence.
In addition, the Defendant shall pay the
3
reasonable and necessary medical bills incurred by the
Plaintiff, as compensation for Plaintiff's out-of-pocket
losses. The Plaintiff is directed to promptly forward
copies of the bills to the Defendant, and he shall within
30 days of receipt of the bills make payment directly to
the health care providers.
Since this matter was resolved without the
necessity of having a hearing, we make no findings with
respect to the Federal Gun Control Act.
The provisions of this Order shall expire in
one year from today or on December 21, 1999.
