Respondent

PETITION TO APPOINT AN ARBITRATION CHAIRMAN FOR AN
UNINSURED MOTORIST CLAIM PURSUANT TO 42 PA.C.S.A. §7305
Petitioner, Nationwide Mutual Automobile Insurance Company is an Ohio
Corporation licensed to transact insurance business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, with
offices at 1000 Nationwide Drive, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent, Gloria My Le, is an adult individual residing at 145 Black Walnut
Drive, Etters, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17319.
At all times relevant hereto, Respondent was an insured under a policy of motor
vehicle insurance issued by your Petitioner pursuant to the Motor Vehicle Financial
Responsibility Act, policy number: 58 37 C 787 817, that provides uninsured and underinsured
motorist bodily injury coverage. (a true and correct copy of the policy is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference).
4. This Petition arises from the Respondent's claim for entitlement of uninsured
motorist coverage under the policy as a result of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on
November 7, 1998.
The policy provides for arbitration of disputes under the uninsured or
underinsured motorist coverage pursuant to the Pennsylvania Arbitration Act of 1927.
6. The policy further provides that after a written demand for arbitration is made,
both parties shall select a competent arbitrator who shall select a third.
7. In the instant case, your Petition has appointed Richard H. Wix, Esquire as its
arbitrator and the Respondent has appointed Hershel Lock, Esquire as her arbitrator.
8. The policy further provides that if the third arbitrator is not agreed upon within
thirty (30) days, either party may request a Court of record to name one.
9. By letter of June 5, 2002, counsel for the Petitioner suggested Daniel Altland,
Esquire or James Goldsmith, Esquire as the chairman of the panel. A true and correct copy of
the letter of June 5, 2002 is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference.
Neither Respondent, nor her attorney, have agreed to or declined the appointment of either
Attorneys Altland or Goldsmith as the arbitration chairman.
10. The policy further provides that the arbitration shall take place in the County and
tate where the insured lives.
11. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7305 gives the Court the power to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to
n agreement to arbitrate, where the prescribed method has failed.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Nationwide Mutual insurance Company respectfully requests
your Honorable Court to appoint an arbitration chairman in the above referenced uninsured
motorist proceeding.

other claims made by anyone arising out of bodily injury, including death, to one person as a result of one

loss not covered by other insurance. .

limits amount of any one of them.
DUPLICATE PAYMENT
We will make no duplicate payment to or for any insured for the same element of loss.

PARALECAL
Re: Gloria My Le Duong vs. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
Cumberland County: BIW Arbitration
Dear Mr. Knauer,
As you are aware, I had been retained to defend Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
in your claim for uninsured motorist benefits on behalf of your client, Gloria My Le Duong. I see
that you have selected Herschel Lock, Esquire as your arbitrator. Please be advised that
Nationwide appoints Richard H. Wix, Esquire as its arbitrator. Allow me to suggest Daniel
Altland, Esquire or James Goldsmith, Esquire as the chairman of the panel.
r.
Before any hearing is scheduled, I anticipate exercising some of Nationwide's rights under
its policy. Specifically, I would like to obtain copies of your client's family physician records and
employment files. I will also want to take a statement under oath and perhaps have an
independent medical examination performed. Based on our earlier discussion, I understand that
you really have no idea whether the tortfeasor has any insurance or not. It seems to me that you
are somewhat premature in calling this an uninsured motorist case.
Please allow me to also address your records subpoena. The subpoena is captioned in a
matter where one of the Defendants has been dismissed and you have failed to serve the other
Defendant. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure specifically outline the procedures for
obtaining records by subpoena. Leaving aside the impropriety of your obtaining discovery in a
Page 2
Iti
0211B-00074
lawsuit where you have no Defendant in the case, the rules provide that you must serve notice to
the opposing parties at least twenty (20) days in advance of your records subpoena. You are also
required to provide a certification to the subpoena recipient, indicating that you have followed
those procedures. Over the telephone, we discussed that there are several options in dealing with
this. One. is that you could attempt to enforce your subpoena by moving for sanctions. The other
option is for me to file a Motion to Quash the Subpoena. The third, and the one that we seemed
to be leaning towards, is for Nationwide to produce its subrogation file to you. I am enclosing a
copy of the remaining documents from Nationwide's subrogation attorney file. The documents
include correspondence between the attorneys and its client, Nationwide. Although these
documents are attorney/client privilege, I am enclosing them for you in any event. Nationwide
has agreed to release this information to you in spite of the attorney/client privilege. I have
requested the claim logs for the subrogation file and I anticipate that I will provide them to you in
the near future. By doing so, I am not agreeing that your subpoena is in any way proper, nor that
you have any right to receive these documents under the terms of the policy through discovery. I
am simply providing these documents in an effort to move matters to a conclusion more quickly.
You still have a lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County against
your alleged uninsured driver, Brett L. Masie. Please provide me with copies of all documents
that would indicate your efforts in trying to serve Mr. Masie. As you are quite aware, you can
only toll the statute of limitations against him for as long as you can make reasonable efforts at
service. If you have not made reasonable efforts at service then you have certainly prejudiced
Nationwide's subrogation rights against Mr. Masie. I look forward to receiving those documents,
together with authorizations for the release of Mrs. My Le Duong's employment and family
physician's files. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

PETITION TO COMPFT, ITN
03-6591 Civil Term
THE ALTERNATIVE TO ENTER JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF
NATIONWIDE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
Petitioner, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, is an Ohio Corporation with
offices at 1000 Nationwide Drive, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent, Gloria My Le is an adult individual residing at 145 Black Walnut
Drive, Etters, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, who has at all times relevant hereto been
represented by David W. Knauer, Esquire of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
This Petition arises from the Respondent's claim for entitlement of uninsured
motorist coverage as a result of the motor vehicle accident that occurred on November 7, 1998.
The policy provides for arbitration of disputes under the uninsured motorist coverage pursuant to
the Pennsylvania Arbitration Act of 1927.
4. On December 26, 2003, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company filed a Petition
to Appoint an arbitration chairman for this uninsured motorist claim in the Cumberland County
Court of Common Pleas.
5. By Order of January 2, 2004, the Honorable George E. Hoffer, P.J. appointed
Daniel Altland, Esquire as the arbitration chairman.
6. Prior to the Defendant's Petition to Appoint an Arbitrator, the Respondent had
selected Hershel Lock, Esquire as her arbitrator and your Petitioner appointed Richard H. Wix,
Esquire as its arbitrator.
An uninsured motorist hearing was scheduled on this matter for March 24, 2004
at 9:00 a.m. by the arbitrators and notice was given to the parties.
8. On March 12, 2004, counsel for the Respondent wrote to the arbitrators indicating
that his client was withdrawing her claim for uninsured motorist benefits. A true and correct
copy of the letter of March 12, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by
reference.
9. On at least two occasions, the Respondent's attorney has advised Nationwide that
the withdrawal of the uninsured motorist claim is intended to be without prejudice and he
reserves the right to pursue an uninsured motorist claim as a result of the motor vehicle accident
of November 17, 1998 at another time.
10. As a result of the letter of March 12, 2004, the Arbitration Panel decided not to
hold a hearing because the Plaintiff had withdrawn her claim for uninsured motorist benefits.
11. Counsel for Nationwide opposed the cancellation of the hearing on the basis of
the representation of the Respondent's counsel that the matter was being withdrawn with the
intention of refilling at some point in the future. A true and correct copy of the letter of March
16, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference.
12. The Uniform Arbitration Act provides that a Court may order parties to proceed
with arbitration upon application made by a party. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7304(a); 42 Pa.C.S.A.
§7307(a)(3).
The Act also provides that a Court may confirm the arbitrators award or enter judgment
or decree upon said award. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7313; 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7316.
13. Your Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to either compel an arbitration
hearing, or to enter a judgment or decree declaring that the uninsured motorist claim is
withdrawn with prejudice.
14. Permitting the Respondent to withdraw the claim without prejudice may subject
your Petitioner to an arbitration hearing at some date in the future after evidence and/or
witnesses are lost and may prejudice the Respondent's ability to produce evidence at said

Re: Gloria My Le Duong vs. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
Cumberland County: Uninsured Motorist Arbitration
Dear Dan,
As you are aware, an uninsured motorist hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, March 24,
2004 at 9:00 a.m. in your office. I recently received a call from Attorney Knauer indicating that his
client wished to withdraw her claim for uninsured motorist benefits at this time, reserving the right to
file a later claim for benefits. I am requesting that either the hearing go forward for a decision on the
merits, or that the arbitrators enter a decision in favor of Nationwide dismissing the uninsured claim
with prejudice.
This case arises from a 1998 motor vehicle accident in which Ms. Le claims to have been
injured. I have witnesses under subpoena and ready to testify at the upcoming hearing. Mr. Knauer
named his arbitrator by letter of March 11, 2002. The file was assigned to me and I appointed
Nationwide's arbitrator on June 5, 2002. In that letter, I suggested arbitration chairmen and never
received a response from Attorney Knauer as to the selection of an arbitration chairman. On
December 26, 2003, Nationwide filed a Petition to Appoint Arbitration Chairman pursuant to 42
Pa.C.S.A. §7305. On January 2, 2004, Judge Hoffer signed an Order appointing you as the
arbitration chairman. The Uniform Arbitration Act provides that the arbitrators are to appoint a time
and place for the hearing and serve notice of the hearing to the parties. The Statute specifically
provides that the arbitrators may hear and determine the controversy upon evidence produced at the
hearing notwithstanding the failure of a duly notified party to appear. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7307. That is
what I am requesting the arbitrators to do. Nationwide desires a prompt resolution of this uninsured

motorist claim. To permit the Plaintiff to withdraw her claim now and bring it at a later date may
result in the loss of documents and/or witnesses that are available and scheduled to appear at the

No. 03-6591 Civil Tenn
PETITION TO COMPEL UNINSURED MOTORIST ARBITRATION OR IN
THE ALTERNATIVE, TO ENTER JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF
NATIONWIDE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY
Petitioner, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, is an Ohio Corporation with
offices at 1000 Nationwide Drive, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
2. Respondent, Gloria My Le is an adult individual residing at 145 Black Walnut
Drive, Etters, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, who has at all times relevant hereto been
represented by David W. Knauer, Esquire of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
3. This Petition arises from the Respondent's claim for entitlement of uninsured
motorist coverage as a result of the motor vehicle accident that occurred on November 7, 1998.
The policy provides for arbitration of disputes under the uninsured motorist coverage pursuant to
the Pennsylvania Arbitration Act of 1927.
4. On December 26, 2003, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company filed a Petition
to Appoint an arbitration chairman for this uninsured motorist claim in the Cumberland County
Court of Common Pleas.
By Order of January 2, 2004, the Honorable George E. Hoffer, P.J. appointed
Daniel Altland, Esquire as the arbitration chairman.
6. Prior to the Defendant's Petition to Appoint an Arbitrator, the Respondent had
selected Hershel Lock, Esquire as her arbitrator and your Petitioner appointed Richard H. Wix,
Esquire as its arbitrator.
7. An uninsured motorist hearing was scheduled on this matter for March 24, 2004
at 9:00 a.m. by the arbitrators and notice was given to the parties.
On March 12, 2004, counsel for the Respondent wrote to the arbitrators indicating
that his client was withdrawing her claim for uninsured motorist benefits. A true and correct
copy of the letter of March 12, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by
reference.
9. On at least two occasions, the Respondent's attorney has advised Nationwide that
the withdrawal of the uninsured motorist claim is intended to be without prejudice and he
reserves the right to pursue an uninsured motorist claim as a result of the motor vehicle accident
of November 17, 1998 at another time.
10. As a result of the letter of March 12, 2004, the Arbitration Panel decided not to
hold a hearing because the Plaintiff had withdrawn her claim for uninsured motorist benefits.
11. Counsel for Nationwide opposed the cancellation of the hearing on the basis of
the representation of the Respondent's counsel that the matter was being withdrawn with the
intention of refilling at some point in the future. A true and correct copy of the letter of March
16, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference.
11 The Uniform Arbitration Act provides that a Court may order parties to proceed
with arbitration upon application made by a party. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7304(a); 42 Pa.C.S.A.
§7307(a)(3).
The Act also provides that a Court may confirm the arbitrators award or enter judgment
or decree upon said award. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7313; 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7316.
13. Your Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to either compel an arbitration
hearing, or to enter a judgment or decree declaring that the uninsured motorist claim is
withdrawn with prejudice.
14. Permitting the Respondent to withdraw the claim without prejudice may subject
your Petitioner to an arbitration hearing at some date in the future after evidence and/or
witnesses are lost and may prejudice the Respondent's ability to produce evidence at said
hearing.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company respectfully requests
your Honorable Court to enter an Order deeming the Respondent's claim for uninsured motorist
benefits denied with prejudice, or in the alternative, to compel the appointed arbitrators to
proceed with an arbitration hearing and determine the merits of the Respondent's claim for
uninsured motorist benefits.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY
PENNSYLVANIA
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company,
Petitioner No. 03-6591- Civil Term
Vs.
Gloria My Le,
Respondent
DEFENDANT'S CONCISE STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR APPEAL
PURSUANT TO PA.R.A.P. 1925(B)
The Defendant's concise statement for reasons for appeal pursuant to
Pa.R.A.P. No. 1925(b) are:
1. The Court never had jurisdiction over the Defendant because:
a.) the Plaintiff never attempted to serve the Defendant;
b.) The Plaintiff's counsel never requested that the undersigned accept
service of any type of initial pleading;
c.) The Defendant never accepted service of any type of initial pleading;
2. The Defendant never had any duty pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No.1026 to
reply to the Plaintiffs petitions because the Plaintiff did not have a notice to plead
on either petition.
3. In addition to the foregoing, the Court deprived the Defendant of the
right to be heard and her due process rights because:
a.) the Plaintiff filed its initial petition on Friday, December 26, 2003 and
the Defendant did not receive her copy of the petition until Monday,
December 29, 2003. Two business days later, on January 2, 2004, the
Court granted the Plaintiff's petition;
b.) the Plaintiff filed its motion to compel on March 26, 2004 with the
Defendant receiving the copy of the petition on March 29, 2004. Four days
later, the Court granted the petition and dismissed the Defendants claim.
4. The Plaintiff violated R.P.C. No. 3.3(d) when it filed its initial petition
that was an ex parte petition because it failed to inform the Court of "all material
facts". The material fact was that the Plaintiff pled that the arbitration had to take
place in the county and state of the insured's residence, paragraph 10. Although
the Plaintiff knew that the Defendant resided in Houston, Texas, it failed to reveal
to the court the Defendant's address. The address is a material fact because
proposing a neutral arbitrator who is not a Texas lawyer when the arbitration
should be held in Houston and appointing a Dauphin county lawyer is an abuse
of discretion.
5. The insurance policy between the Plaintiff and the Defendant is a
contract of adhesion that must be construed strictly against the insurer. The
uninsured/underinsured provisions of the aforesaid policy do not contain any
provision that would prohibit the Defendant from withdrawing her request and
later re-filing it. By way of example only, Pa.R.C.P.No. 229 and 231 the rules
governing discontinuances permit the withdrawal of a claim and the re-filing of
the claim.
a.) the contract of insurance did not contain any provision that would allow
the claim to be dismissed should the insured withdraw the request for
arbitration of the underinsured claim and then re-file it or give to any court
the authority to dismiss the Defendant's claim.
6. The Order of April 2, 2004 dismissing the insured's underinsurance
claim constituted a violation of the due process requirements of both the United
States Constitution and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
and deprived the Defendant of rights and property for the following reasons:
2
a.) the lack of jurisdiction precluded the Court from rendering any decision
on any matter related to the petition presented;
b..) in the alternative, the granting of the first petition on the fourth day
after the petitioner filed the petition was insufficient time for the
Respondent to reply to the petition even if the Petitioner had placed a
notice to plead on the petition;
c.) the granting of the second petition on the fourth day after the petitioner
filed the petition was insufficient time for the Respondent to reply to the
petition even if the Petitioner had placed a notice to plead on the petition;
d.) Pa.R.A.P. No. 1925(b) provides that the statement required thereunder
be filed within fourteen days of the entry of the Order. The court's Order
under Pa.R.A.P. No. 1925(b) only provided the insured with ten days from
the date of the order;
e.) Nationwide's insurance policy is a contract of adhesion and must be
interpreted strictly against the insurance company. The policy does not
prohibit the withdrawal of a claim and the re-filing of the claim at a
subsequent date. The court's dismissal of the claim with prejudice
violated the terms of the policy. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure permit the discontinuance of a claim without bar of a second
action. The Court's grant of the dismissal request would not be sustained
if the case were brought as a civil case;
f.) the two orders the court issued were both ex parte orders and
Nationwide's counsel did not comply with the requirements of Pa. R. No.
3.3(d) in that Nationwide did not give the court the information
necessary to enter an exp parte order,
g.) there was no reason that ex parte orders should have been issued in
this case;
h.) the court did not have subject matter jurisdiction;
i.) the proper procedure should have been the issuance of a rule to show
cause so that the Defendant would have had an opportunity to make a
reply thereto especially because the Plaintiff did not have a notice to
plead.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY,
PENNSYLVANIA
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, :
Petitioner No. 03-6591- Civil Term
Vs.
Gloria My Le,
Respondent :
MOTION TO OBJECT TO JURISDICTION NUNC PRO TUNC
1. The Petitioner commenced the above matter by filing a Petition to
Appoint an Arbitration Chairman for an Uninsured Motorist Claim Pursuant to 42
Pa.C.S.A. 7305.
2. The Petitioner never provided to the Sheriff of Cumberland County a
copy of the aforesaid motion to serve upon the Respondent.
3. Although the Petitioner knew that it had not provided a copy of the
aforesaid motion to the Sheriff of Cumberland County, it presented the aforesaid
Petition to the Court for action without informing the Court that it had not
attempted to obtain jurisdiction over the Respondent and had not served the
Respondent with any original process.
4. In paragraph 10 of the aforesaid petition, the Petitioner stated that the
arbitration had to be held in the county and state where the insured resided.
5. Prior to the filing of the aforesaid petition, the Petitioner knew that the
Claimant resided and had resided for a number of years in Houston, Texas.
6. Although the Petitioner presented the aforesaid Petition as an ex parte
motion, it breached its duty as set forth in Pennsylvania Rules of Professional
Conduct No. 3.3(d) by failing to include any statement that the Petitioner did not
have personal jurisdiction over the Respondent and had not attempted to obtain
jurisdiction over the Respondent for service of process and that the Respondent
resided in Houston, Texas.
7. Given that the hearing would have to be held in Houston, Texas, the
appointment of a Dauphin County attorney, P. Daniel Altland, Esquire as
chairman of the arbitration panel would be not be appropriate.
8. The Court by Order dated January 2, 2004 granted the Petitioner's
Petition filed on December 26, 2003 and appointed Mr. Altland as chairman of
the arbitration panel.
9. The Petitioner then filed a Petition to Compel Uninsured Motorist
Arbitration or in the Alternative to Enter Judgment in Favor of Nationwide Mutual
Insurance Company on March 26, 2004.
10. On April 4, 2004, the Honorable George E. Hoffer granted the motion
to compel but did not grant the motion to dismiss. However, when the
Prothonotary's office certified the order for the Respondent's counsel in another
matter, it certified the order Judge Hoffer did not sign and not the order that he
signed. However, on May 10, 2004, the Petitioners counsel informed the
Respondent's counsel in another matter that he had received both orders
certified as signed by Judge Hoffer. Petitioner's counsel did not inform either
Judge Hoffer or the Respondent's counsel in another matter that he had certified
copies that showed both mutually exclusive orders had been certified as signed.
11. In the alternative, on both petitions the Petitioner failed to include a
2
notice to plead and pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1026, the Respondent had no duty
to respond to the aforesaid petitions.
12. The Respondent wishes to enter a limited appearance for the purpose
of challenging jurisdiction over the Respondent and that all proceedings be
stayed in the meantime.
WHEREFORE, the Respondent prays that Your Honorable court will issue
a rule to show cause on the Defendant to show cause why the Respondent
should not be allowed to enter a limited appearance nunc pro tunc to challenge
jurisdiction over the Respondent and that all proceedings be stayed in the
meantime.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY. PENNSYLVANIA
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company,
Petitioner
VS.
Gloria My Le,
Respondent
03-6591 Civil Term
PETITIONER'S RESPONSE TO RESPONDENT'S MOTION TO
OBJECT TO JURISDICTION NUNC PRO TUNC
1. Admitted. By way of further answer, the Petition was filed on December 26,
2003. Said Petition was served via first class mail upon counsel for the Respondent on
December 24, 2003 as evidenced by the Certificate of Service and cover letter attached hereto as
Exhibit "A" and incorporated herein by reference.
2. Admitted.
3. Denied as a conclusion of law. The Petitioner served counsel for the Respondent
via first class mail as evidenced by Exhibit "A" of this answer.
4. Admitted.
Denied as stated. On the contrary, the Respondent had retained counsel in
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania and appointed an arbitrator for the purposes of pursuing an
uninsured motorist claim in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Claimant's address as listed on the
declarations page and, as of at least the date of the accident giving rise to the claim for uninsured
motorist benefits, was 145 Black Walnut Drive, Etters, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
6. Each and every allegation of paragraph 6 represents a conclusion of law which is
specifically denied. To the contrary, counsel for Gloria My Le, David W. Knauer, Esquire, was
served via first class mail with the Petition on December 24, 2003. Attorney Knauer failed to
raise any objection to service or jurisdiction until this past month.
Each and every averment of paragraph 7 is specifically denied. To the contrary,
the appointment of P. Daniel Altland, Esquire was appropriate in that the Claimant appointed
arbitrator, Hershel Lock, Esquire by letter of March 11, 2002. Attorney Lock is an attorney with
offices in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A true and correct copy of the letter of March 11, 2002 is
attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference.
8. Admitted. By way of further answer, the Prothonotary's office served upon
Attorney Knauer a conformed copy of the Order appointing Mr. Altland as Chairman of the
Arbitration Panel.
9. Admitted. By way of further answer, David W. Knauer, Esquire was served with
a copy of the Petition to Compel Uninsured Motorist Arbitration or in the Alternative, To Enter
Judgment In Favor of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company on March 25, 2004, as evidenced
by the Certificate of Service and enclosure letter attached hereto as Exhibit "C" and incorporated
herein by reference.
10. Admitted in part and denied in part. It is admitted that on April 4, 2004, the
Honorable George E. Hoffer granted a Motion to Compel Arbitration. The Court has represents
to the parties that it did not enter any Order granting a Motion to Dismiss. The Prothonotary's
office mailed to counsel for the Petitioner and the Respondent two conformed Orders, one
compelling the arbitration to go forward, and the other dismissing the uninsured motorist claim
with prejudice.
11. The allegations of paragraph 11 constitute a conclusion of law as to which no
response is required. To the extent that a response is deemed required, the Petitioner believes
and therefore avers that the Respondent has waived any objection to improper service and
therefore personal jurisdiction.
12. Respondent's counsel, David W. Knauer, Esquire has already entered an
appearance by filing a Notice of Appeal on behalf of the Respondent on or about April 30, 2004.
WHEREFORE, your Petitioner respectfully requests your Honorable Court to deny the
Motion to Object to Jurisdiction Nunc Pro Tune.
NEW MATTER
13. Counsel for the Respondent was aware of the filing of the Petition to Appoint an
arbitration chairman from at least December 24, 2003, when he received a copy of the Petition
via first class mail.
14. Counsel for the Respondent was served with the Order of January 2, 2004 by first
class mail from the Prothonotary's office as well as the offices of Petitioner's counsel.
15. By letter of January 5, 2004, your Petitioner's counsel requested that
Respondent's counsel notify him if he was not intending to accept service of the Petition. A true
and correct copy of the letter of January 5, 2004 is attached hereto Exhibit "D" and incorporated
herein by reference. At no time did counsel for the Respondent indicate that Sheriff s service
was necessary.
16. By letter dated January 15, 2004, the arbitration chairman, P. Daniel Altland,
Esquire wrote to the parties and indicated that he would attempt to schedule the uninsured
motorist arbitration without delay. The letter of January 15, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit
"E" and incorporated herein by reference.
17. Respondent's counsel participated in the scheduling of the arbitration and the
arbitration was scheduled for Wednesday March 24, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. A true and correct copy
of the scheduling letter dated January 29, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit 'T' and
herein by reference.
18. On or about March 12, 2004, counsel for the Respondent informed Nationwide's
counsel that he intended to withdraw his uninsured motorist claim, but intended to re-file it at a
later date.
19. In response to the call from Attorney Knauer, counsel for Nationwide wrote to
arbitration chairman and requested that the hearing go forward. A true and correct copy of the
letter of March 16, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit "G".
20. After the letter of March 16, 2004 was sent, the arbitration chairman informed
counsel for Nationwide that he did not feel comfortable going forward with an arbitration after
he had been advised by Attorney Knauer that the claim was withdrawn. Counsel for Nationwide
later learned that counsel for the Respondent served an ex parte letter upon the arbitrators
indicating that he was intending to withdraw his uninsured motorist claim. A true and correct
copy of the ex parte letter of March 12, 2004 is attached hereto as Exhibit "H" and incorporated
herein by reference.
21. On March 29, 2004, the arbitration chairman memorialized the occurrences in a
letter of March 29, 2004, which is attached hereto as Exhibit "I" and incorporated herein by
reference.
22. The Respondent has failed to give any reason why she failed to raise an objection
to jurisdiction, service or method of service for a period of approximately five (5) months.
23. Because the Respondent has failed to give any valid reason for raising objections
to jurisdiction or service for a period of five (5) months, this Honorable Court should not
exercise its equitable powers to permit the filing of an objection Nunc Pro Time.
24. On May 21, 2004, Respondent, Gloria My Le was personally served with a copy
of the Petition to Appoint Arbitration Chairman at 13602 Oak Bend Forest, Houston, Texas in
accordance with Pa.R.C.P. 404(1). A true and correct copy of the Affidavit of Service is
attached hereto as Exhibit "J" and incorporated herein by reference.
25. On May 21, 2004, Respondent, Gloria My Le v?as personally served with a copy
of the Petition to Compel Uninsured Motorist Arbitration or in the Alternative to Enter Judgment
in Favor of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company at 13602 Oak Bend Forest, Houston, Texas
in accordance with Pa.R.C.P. 404(1). A true and correct copy of the Affidavit of Service is
attached hereto as Exhibit "K" and incorporated herein by reference.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company respectfully requests
your Honorable Court to deny the Motion to Object to Jurisdiction Nunc Pro Tunc.

Re: Gloria My Le Duong v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
Cumberland County: 03-6591 Civil Term
Uninsured Motorist Claim
Gentlemen:
I have agreed to serve as the third arbitrator in the above-referenced UM
arbitration.
We will attempt to schedule this arbitration without delay. Before scheduling
a hearing, I wish to have counsel for the parties agree as to the method by which
testimony is to be presented. If you wish to present; testimony at the hearing, as
opposed to submitted depositions, please advise as to the anticipated length of your
respective cases in order that I may schedule the hearing accordingly.
If counsel desire to have a stenographic record, they should agree on the
selection and sharing of costs incurred.
No matter how the factual matters are presented, I would suggest that counsel
agree that medical testimony be presented by way of medical reports and/or
depositions.

January 15, 2004

In any event, I request that counsel submit a memorandum of law to each of
the arbitrators prior to the date set for the hearing.
I would expect that counsel do not wish the arbitrators to be informed of the
amount of UM insurance available for the claim.
Unless I hear from anyone that the case is not ready to be scheduled at this
time, I will be contacting counsel and the other two arbitrators two weeks after the
date of this letter to schedule a hearing.
Very truly yours,

Re: Gloria My Le Duong vs. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
Cumberland County: Uninsured Motorist Arbitration
Dear Dan,
As you are aware, an uninsured motorist hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, March 24,
2004 at 9:00 a.m. in your office. I recently received a call from Attorney Knauer indicating that his
client wished to withdraw her claim for uninsured motorist benefits at this time, reserving the right to
file a later claim for benefits. I am requesting that either the hearing go forward for a decision on the
merits, or that the arbitrators enter a decision in favor of Nationwide dismissing the uninsured claim
with prejudice.
This case arises from a 1998 motor vehicle accident in which Ms. Le claims to have been
injured. I have witnesses under subpoena and ready to testify at the upcoming hearing. Mr. Knauer
named his arbitrator by letter of March 11, 2002. The file was assigned to me and I appointed
Nationwide's arbitrator on June 5, 2002. In that letter, I suggested arbitration chairmen and never
received a response from Attorney Knauer as to the selection of an arbitration chairman. On
December 26, 2003, Nationwide filed a Petition to Appoint Arbitration Chairman pursuant to 42
Pa.C.S.A. §7305. On January 2, 2004, Judge Hoffer signed an Order appointing you as the
arbitration chairman. The Uniform Arbitration Act provides that the arbitrators are to appoint a time
and place for the hearing and serve notice of the hearing to the parties. The Statute specifically
provides that the arbitrators may hear and determine the controversy upon evidence produced at the
hearing notwithstanding the failure of a duly notified party to appear. 42 Pa.C.S.A. §7307. That is
what I am requesting the arbitrators to do. Nationwide desires a prompt resolution of this uninsured

motorist claim. To permit the Plaintiff to withdraw her claim now and bring it at a later date may
result in the loss of documents and/or witnesses that are available and scheduled to appear at the
arbitration hearing.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Re: Gloria My Le Duong v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company
Uninsured Motorist Arbitration
Dear Jerry:
I write to you in the above matter in view of the unusual circumstances surrounding the
withdrawal of the uninsured motorist claim.
By letter dated March 12, 2004 I was advised by Attorney Knauer that his clients have
withdrawn their uninsured motorist claim. He indicated that as a result of that action there will
be no need for an arbitration and my services as the neutral arbitrator will not be needed.
In that you were not copied on his letter of March 12, 2004, I wanted to advise you what
Attorney Knauer had told me.
Very truly yours,
