NEW MATTER
COUNT I - AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE - JUSTIFICATION
36. Answers to Paragraphs 1 through 35 are incorporated herein by reference.
37. Defendant Tena Brown married Defendant Eric Brown on September 15, 2007.
38. On May 25, 2006, Plaintiff threatened Defendant Tena Brown with bodily harm
and reached towards her face, violently removing her glasses.
39. On that same date, Defendant Tena Brown, reasonably believing that force was
immediately necessary to defend herself, struck Plaintiff with a nearby frying pan.
40. On that same date, immediately following the altercation between Plaintiff and
Defendant Tena Brown, Plaintiff called the police, and misrepresented the situation in his favor.
41. On April 22, 2007, Plaintiff and Defendant Tena Brown had agreed to deviate
from their regular custody exchange schedule, and exchange custody of their children at a
different place and time.
42. On that same date, Plaintiff failed to arrive at the agreed time and place.
43. Thereafter, when Plaintiff finally arrived at a much later time, he exited his car
and approached Defendants, visibly enraged and in a threatening manner.
44. Thereafter, Plaintiff proceeded to assault and batter Defendant Tena Brown by
pushing and shoving her, while screaming threats at her.
45. Thereafter, while witnessing Plaintiff assault Defendant Tena Brown, Defendant
Eric Brown believed it immediately necessary to protect her.
46. Thereafter, reasonably believing such force was absolutely necessary to protect
Defendant Tena Brown, Defendant Eric Brown struck Plaintiff Daniel Cobaugh once in the head,
and otherwise constrained him until police arrived.
47. Upon speaking with police, Plaintiff once again misrepresented the situation to
police in his favor.
48. Because Defendant Tena Brown was in the process of contesting custody with
Plaintiff, she decided against filing charges against Plaintiff.
WHEREFORE, Defendants demand judgment be entered in their favor and against
Plaintiff, and that Plaintiff's Complaint be dismissed with prejudice.

PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS IN LIMINE
AND NOW, this 19th day of July, 2012, comes Daniel F. Cobaugh, Plaintiff in the
above-captioned case, by and through his counsel, Jason P. Kutulakis of Abom and
Kutulakis LLP, and respectfully files the foregoing Motion in Limine, and in support
avers as follows:
I. MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE DEFENDANT ERIC BROWN
FROM ASSERTING DEFENSES OF JUSTIFICATION DEFENSE OF
SELF OR DEFENSE OF OTHERS
1) On April 22, 2007, Defendant Eric Brown assaulted Plaintiff by striking
Plaintiff's head and body with a metal object and his fists. These facts form
the basis of Count IV of Plaintiff's complaint as to Defendant Eric Brown.
2) As a result of this incident, Defendant Eric Brown was charged criminally at
docket CR-21-CR-1514-2007.
3) Defendant Eric Brown entered a guilty plea to one (1) count of simple assault.
Transcript of Guilty Plea and Sentencing is attached to the Instant Motion.
4) In the Defendants' Answer to Plaintiff's complaint, it is admitted that
Defendant Eric Brown did strike Plaintiff with his fists. Defendants aver this
action was justified as necessary to protect Defendant Tena Brown.
5) The operative facts necessary for a non-summary criminal conviction may be
admitted as conclusive facts in civil suit arising from the same event. See
Commonwealth Department of Transportation v Mitchell, 517 Pa. 203, 535
A.2d 581 (1987); In re. Estate of Klein, 474 Pa. 416,378 A.2d 1182 (1987);
Folino v Young, 523 Pa. 532, 568 A.2d 171 (1990).
6) Regarding civil litigation of those factual matters already disposed of in
criminal court, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has stated:
The defendant was presented with more than ample opportunity to
overcome the charges lodged against him while he was swathed in a cloak
of presumed innocence. His case was [presented to a jury which found
him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt], upon the same facts which are
now urged as the basis for his civil liability. To now hold that the effect of
those jury determinations is nil not only would be to fly in the face of
reason but would also be a general indictment of the whole American
jury system. The defendant should not now be heard to deny that which
was established by his prior criminal conviction, without proof that his
conviction was procured by fraud, perjury or some manner of error now
sufficient to upset the conviction itself ...No valid reason exists why he
should be given a chance to try his luck with another jury.
Hurtt v Stirone, 416 Pa. 493, 498-99, 206 A.2d 624, 626-27 (1965).
7) In accordance with Hurtt, Defendant Eric Brown should not now be permitted
to assert that his violent actions towards Plaintiff were in defense of himself or
Defendant Tena Brown or otherwise legally justified, having already admitted
his criminal culpability and having foregone the opportunity to assert such a
defense while still of presumed innocence.
8) Undersigned counsel has contacted Christopher Rice, Esquire, counsel for
Defendants, regarding his position; however, no response has been received as
of the time of filing.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests the Honorable Court grant this Motion
in Limine and preclude evidence and testimony supporting the defenses of justification,
defense of self and defense of others.
II. MOTION IN LIMINE TO PRECLUDE DEFENSE OF FAILURE TO
MITIGATE DAMAGES
9) Averments one (1) through eight (8) are incorporated herein by reference.
10) Defendants' pleadings have not averred a defense that Plaintiff failed to
mitigate damages.
11) It is requested that the Court preclude any such assertion because Plaintiff has
not been placed on notice that the same would be forthcoming.
12) Pa.R.C.P. 206.2 requires a defendant's answer to state the material facts which
constitute the defense to the petition.
13) Undersigned counsel has contacted Christopher Rice, Esquire, counsel for
Defendants, regarding his position; however, no response has been received as
of the time of filing.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests the Honorable Court grant this
Motion in Limine and preclude evidence and testimony supporting a defense of failure to
mitigate damages by the Plaintiff.

CIVIL ACTION-LAW
PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
AS TO DEFENDANT ERIC BROWN AT COUNT IV
AND NOW, this 19th day of July, 2012, comes Daniel F. Cobaugh, Plaintiff in the
above-captioned case, by and through his counsel, Jason P. Kutulakis of Abom and
Kutulakis LLP, and respectfully files the foregoing Motion for Summary Judgment as to
Damages Caused by Defendant Eric Brown, and in support avers the following:
1) On April 22, 2007, Defendant Eric Brown assaulted Plaintiff by striking
Plaintiff s head and body with a metal object and his fists. These facts form
the basis of Count IV of Plaintiff's complaint as to Defendant Eric Brown.
2) As a result of this incident, Defendant Eric Brown was charged criminally at
docket CR-21-CR-1514-2007.
3) Defendant Eric Brown entered a guilty plea to one (1) count of simple assault.
4) In the Defendants' Answer to Plaintiff's complaint, it is admitted that
Defendant Eric Brown did strike Plaintiff with his fists. Defendants aver this
action was justified as necessary to protect Defendant Tena Brown.
5) A Motion for Summary Judgment is proper "whenever there is no genuine
issue of any material fact as to a necessary element of the cause of action or
defense which could be established by additional discover." Pa.R.C.P. 1035.2
6) Regarding Count IV of Plaintiff's complaint, there is no genuine issue of
material fact regarding assault and battery of Plaintiff by Defendant Eric
Brown.
7) Defendant Eric Brown admitted the operative facts of this cause of action via
guilty plea to the charge of simple assault at CP-21-CR-1514-2007.
8) On December 15, 2008, Defendant Eric Brown appeared for Pre-Trial
Conference in Cumberland County Court to enter a guilty plea to simple
assault, whereupon the following exchange occurred on the record:
[District Attorney] MR. SMITH: The facts of this case, Sunday, April 22,
2007, about three o'clock, the victim in this case, Daniel Cobaugh, who was -
who has children with Tena Cobaugh. Tena is now married -
THE DEFENDANT: My wife.
MR. SMITH: Is Eric Brown's wife. Daniel Cobaugh was dropping off the
kids to Tena when he got into an argument with Eric Brown. Eric Brown then
punched him in the face with a closed fist and struck him with a metal object.
He sustained injury, bruising, and did go to the hospital. Restitution in this
case would be $1,540.85 to the Victim's Compensation Fund.
THE COURT: Can I have this information, please? Sir, you heard what the
District Attorney has said you did. If you, in fact, did those things, you could
be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the charge of Simple Assault.
Do you understand that?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Basically the nature of this offense is that you attempted by
physical menace to put someone in fear of serious bodily injury.
MR. SMITH: Your Honor, on the charge of Simple Assault -
THE COURT: You are basically indicating that you caused bodily injury.
Bodily injury in this Commonwealth consists merely of causing someone
substantial pain. Do you understand that?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: This is just another form of what is recited here in the
information. But at the time just before you struck this individual, if you had
pulled your fist back and put him in fear of serious bodily injury, which is
higher than bodily injury, that would also make out this offense. Did you, in
fact, strike this man?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: Did you cause him then bodily injury, at least pain?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: I have before me your guilty plea colloquy, this rights form.
Did you sign it?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: Do you have any questions about your rights?
THE DEFENDANT: No, Your Honor.
Notes of Testimony, 12/15/2008, attached as Exhibit A.
9) Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1035.2, a party may move for summary judgment in
whole or in part as a matter of law whenever there is no genuine issue of any
material fact as to a necessary element of the cause of action or defense which
could be established by additional discovery or expert report.
10) It is believed and therefore averred that Defendant Eric Brown's guilty plea to
simple assault arising from the same incident as that which is presently
alleged at Count IV establishes the operative facts of that Count, such that
there is no issue of material fact or defense which could be established by
additional discovery.
11) The operative facts necessary for a non-summary criminal conviction may be
admitted as conclusive facts in civil suit arising from the same event. See
Commonwealth Department of Transportation v Mitchell, 517 Pa. 203, 535
A.2d 581 (1987); In re: Estate ofKlein, 474 Pa. 416, 378 A.2d 1182 (1987);
Folino v. Young, 523 Pa. 532, 568 A.2d 171 (1990).
12) Regarding civil litigation of those factual matters already disposed of in
criminal court, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has stated:
The defendant was presented with more than ample opportunity to
overcome the charges lodged against him while he was swathed in a cloak
of presumed innocence. His case was [presented to a jury which found
him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt], upon the same facts which are
now urged as the basis for his civil liability. To now hold that the effect of
those jury determinations is nil not only would be to fly in the face of
reason but would also be a general indictment of the whole American
jury system. The defendant should not now be heard to deny that which
was established by his prior criminal conviction, without proof that his
conviction was procured by fraud, perjury or some manner of error now
sufficient to upset the conviction itself ...No valid reason exists why he
should be given a chance to try his luck with another jury.
Hurtt v Stirone, 416 Pa. 493, 498-99, 206 A.2d 624, 626-27 (1965).
13) In accordance with Hurtt, Defendant Eric Brown should not now be permitted
to assert that his violent actions towards Plaintiff were in defense of himself or
Defendant Tena Brown or otherwise legally justified, having already admitted
criminal culpability for those actions and having foregone the opportunity to
assert such a defense while still of presumed innocence.
14) Undersigned counsel has contacted Christopher Rice, Esquire, counsel for
Defendants, regarding his position; however, no response has been received as
of the time of filing.

MICHAEL A. SCHERER, Esquire
For the Defendant
1 January 15, 2008
2 MR. SMITH: Number 45, Eric Brown.
3 Your Honor, Mr. Brown is pleading guilty to
4 Count 1, Simple Assault. As a misdemeanor of the second
5 degree, it carries a potential fine of up to $5,000.00
6 and/or two years incarceration. This would be in full
7 satisfaction of all other charges at this docket.
8 THE COURT: Mr. Brown, you heard the District
9 Attorney recite the maximum penalty you could receive for
10 this charge. Do you understand that?
11 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
12 MR. SMITH: As part of the agreement worked
13 out between the defense and the Commonwealth, we would ask
14 the Court to impose a probationary sentence in this matter.
15 THE COURT: Again, with a charge of Simple
16 Assault, is the victim agreeing to that?
17 MR. SMITH: The victim was concerned about
18 pleading it down to a lesser charge. What the victim wants
19 is an admission of guilt and restitution.
20 THE COURT: All right.
21 MR. SMITH: The facts of the case, Sunday,
22 April 22, 2007, about three o'clock, the victim in this
23 case, Daniel Cobaugh, who was -- who has children with a

25 THE DEFENDANT: My wife.

1 MR. SMITH: Is Eric Brown's wife. Daniel
2 Cobaugh was dropping off the kids to Tena when he got into

4 the face with a closed fist and struck him with a metal
5 object. He sustained injury, bruising, and did go to the
6 hospital. Restitution in this case would be $1,540.85 to
7 the Victims Compensation Fund.
8 THE COURT: Can I have this information,
9 please? Sir, you heard what the District Attorney has said
10 you did. If you, in fact, did those things, you could be
11 found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the charge of
12 Simple Assault. Do you understand that?
13 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
14 THE COURT: Basically the nature of this
15 offense is that you attempted by physical menace to put
16 someone in fear of serious bodily injury.
17 MR. SMITH: Your Honor, on the charge of
18 Simple Assault --
19 THE COURT: You are basically indicating that
20 you caused bodily injury. Bodily injury in this
21 Commonwealth consists merely of causing somebody substantial
22 pain. Do you understand that?
23 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
24 THE COURT: This is just another form of what
25 is recited here in the information. But at the time just
3
1 before you struck this individual, if you had pulled your
2 fist back and put him in fear of serious bodily injury,
3 which is higher than bodily injury, that would also make out
4 this offense. Did you, in fact, strike this man?
5 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
6 THE COURT: Did you cause him then bodily
7 injury, at least pain?
8 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
9 THE COURT: I have before me your guilty plea
10 colloquy, this rights form. Did you sign it?
11 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
12 THE COURT: Do you have any questions about
13 your rights?
14 THE DEFENDANT: No, Your Honor.
15 THE COURT: Did you go over them with Mr.
16 Scherer?
17 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
18 THE COURT: The Commonwealth is indicating
19 that they are recommending a probationary sentence. Have
20 there been any other promises or agreements that I am not
21 aware of to get you to plead guilty here today?
22 THE DEFENDANT: No, Your Honor.
23 THE COURT: Do you understand you will be
24 responsible to make this restitution in the amount of
25 $1,540.85 to the Pennsylvania Crime Victim Compensation
4
1 Fund?
2 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir.
3 THE COURT: Knowing everything I have told
4 you, is it your desire to enter a plea of guilty at Count 1
5 to a charge of Simple Assault, a misdemeanor of the second
6 degree?
7 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
8 THE COURT: We will accept the plea and enter
9 this Order:
10 AND NOW, this 15th day of January, 2008, the
11 defendant having appeared in open court together with his
12 counsel, Michael Scherer, Esquire, and having tendered a
13 plea of guilty at Count 1 to a charge of Simple Assault, a
14 misdemeanor of the second degree, in full satisfaction of
15 any other charges at this term and number, his plea is
16 accepted and recorded.
17 By the Court,
18 /s/ M. L. Ebert, Jr., J.
19 THE COURT: Would you like to be sentenced
20 now?
21 MR. SCHERER: That would be fine, Your Honor.
22 He is 44 years old. He has worked for UPS
23 Freight for 14 years. He is married to Tena. He has a
24 couple bad check charges from like 184, and he has got a
25 harassment I think from 188.
5
1 THE COURT: You are indicating that, Mr.
2 Smith, that this is a standard range sentence, probation.
3 MR. SMITH: It is a standard range sentence.
4 And, again, the victim is angry, hurt, and his main concern
5 is an admission of guilt and an admission that he did him
6 harm, and restitution. Of course, he would like to see him
7 go to jail forever. But this is within the guideline range
8 sentence and this is what we recommend to the Court.
9 THE COURT: Anything you would like to say,
10 sir?
11 THE DEFENDANT: No, Your Honor.
12 THE COURT: When I hear about this harassment
13 before, it seems like you have a bit of a temper. Do you
14 think you can control that?
15 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor.
16 THE COURT: I am sure Mr. Scherer has
17 indicated how these things, they start to build up, and
18 every time you come back for something like this, it is
19 always a little more because your prior record score goes
20 up.
21 MR. SCHERER: He neglected to mention they
22 are in some kind of counseling, the victim, Mr. Brown and
23 Tena, designed to assist in the custody arrangements.
24 THE COURT: It sounds like this child is
25 Tena's and the victim's child too.
6
1 MR. SCHERER: There are three of them.
2 THE COURT: You understand that that is
3 probably going to go on for a long time.
4 THE DEFENDANT: We are in counseling now to
5 address that, sir.
6 THE COURT: Good. Are you waving
7 presentence?
8 MR. SCHERER: Yes, Your Honor.
9 THE COURT: Enter this Order:
10 AND NOW, this 15th day of January, 2008, the
11 defendant having presented himself for sentence, and having
12 waived presentence investigation, the sentence of the court
13 is that the defendant pay the costs of prosecution, a fine
14 of $100.00, that he undergo supervised probation for a
15 period of 12 months, and that he pay restitution to --
16 MR. SMITH: Daniel --
17 MR. SCHERER: The Crime Victims --
18 THE COURT: Oh, yes -- the Pennsylvania Crin
19 Victims Compensation Board in the amount of $1,540.85.
20 By the Court,
21 /s/ M. L. Ebert, Jr., J
22 THE COURT: Would you like me to recite his
23 appellate rights?
24 MR. SCHERER: We will talk about those.
25 (Whereupon, the proceeding was concluded.)

CIVIL ACTION-LAW

J
PLAINTIFF'S Ai14ENDED MOTIONS IN LIMINE
AND NOW, this 26th day, of July, 2012, comes Daniel F. Cobaugh, Plaintiff in the
above-captioned case, by and through his counsel, Jason P. Kutulakis of Abom and
Kutulakis LLP, and respectfully files the foregoing Motion in Limine, and in support
avers as follows:
I.
1) On April 22, 2007, Defendant Eric Brown assaulted Plaintiff by striking
Plaintiff s head and body with a metal object and his fists. These facts form
the basis of Count IV of Plaintiff's complaint as to Defendant Eric Brown.
2) As a result of this incident, Defendant Eric Brown was charged criminally at
docket CR-21-CR-1514-2007.
T
rn
1-` -gym
-rl
3) Defendant Eric Brown entered a guilty plea to one (1) count of simple assault.
Transcript of Guilty Plea and Sentencing is attached to the Instant Motion.
J
4) In the Defendants' Answer to Plaintiff's complaint, it is admitted that
Defendant Eric Brown did strike Plaintiff with his fists. Defendants aver this
action was justified as necessary to protect Defendant Tena Brown.
5) The operative facts necessary for a non-summary criminal conviction may be
admitted as conclusive facts in civil suit arising from the same event. See
Commonwealth Department of Transportation v ,Wx chell, 517 Pa. 203, 535
A.2d 581 (1987); In re. Estate ofA n, 474 Pa. 416, 378 A.2d 1182 (1987);
Folino v Young, 523 Pa. 532, 568 A.2d 171 (1990).
6) Regarding civil litigation of those factual matters already disposed of in
criminal court, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has stated:
The defendant was presented with more than ample opportunity to
overcome the charges lodged against him while he was swathed in a cloak
of presumed innocence. His case was [presented to a jury which found
him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt], upon the same facts which are
now urged as the basis for his civil liability. To now hold that the effect of
those jury determinations is nil not only would be to By in the face of
reason but would also be a general indictment of the whole American
jury system. The defendant should not now be heard to deny that which
was established by his prior criminal conviction, without proof that his
conviction was procured by fraud, perjury or some manner of error now
sufficient to upset the conviction itself ...No valid reason exists why he
should be given a chance to try his luck with another jury.
Hurst v Stirone, 416 Pa. 493, 498-99, 206 A.2d 624, 626-27 (1965).
7) In accordance with Hurst, Defendant Eric Brown should not now be permitted
to assert that his violent actions towards Plaintiff were in defense of himself or
Defendant Tena Brown or otherwise legally justified, having already admitted
his criminal culpability and having foregone the opportunity to assert such a
defense while still of presumed innocence.
8) Currently, no Judge has issued a ruling on any matter in the instant case.
9) Undersigned counsel has contacted Christopher Rice, Esquire, counsel for
Defendants, regarding his position; however, no response has been received as
of the time of filing.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests the Honorable Court grant this Motion
in Limine and preclude evidence and testimony supporting the defenses of justification,
defense of self and defense of others.
II.
10) Averments one (1) through nine (9) are incorporated herein by reference.
11) Defendants' pleadings have not averred a defense that Plaintiff failed to
mitigate damages.
12) It is requested that the Court preclude any such assertion because Plaintiff has
not been placed on notice that the same would be forthcoming.
13) Pa.R.C.P. 206.2 requires a defendant's answer to state the material facts which
constitute the defense to the petition.
14) Currently, no Judge has issued a ruling on any matter in the instant case.
15) Undersigned counsel has contacted Christopher Rice, Esquire, counsel for
Defendants, regarding his position; however, no response has been received as
of the time of filing.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests the Honorable Courtgrant this
Motion in Limine and preclude evidence and testimony supporting a defense of failure to
mitigate damages by the Plaintiff.

AFFIDAVIT OF DEFENDANT ERIC BROWN
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA )
:SS.
COUNTY OF CUMBERLAND )
I, Eric Brown, Defendant in the above-captioned action, swear and affirm that the below
statements are true and correct and that I make this affidavit upon the basis of my own personal
knowledge.
1. On or about April 22,2007,Plaintiff Daniel Cobaugh("Cobaugh")came to the home
where I resided with my then girlfriend, and current wife, Tena Brown("Tena")to drop off Tena's
children with whom Cobaugh shared custody.
2. While I was standing in the garage, Cobaugh and Tena got into a verbal altercation
which resulted in Cobaugh shoving Tena to the ground.
3. At that point I stepped in to protect Tena.
4. Cobaugh and I got into a fist fight with each punching the other.
5. Eventually, the fight moved over to my truck and Cobaugh reached into the bed of
my truck to retrieve a socket extension, presumably to use as a weapon.
6. I then knocked Cobaugh against the truck and grabbed the socket extension.
7. Cobaugh fell to the ground and I hit him in the back of the head with the socket
extension.
8. We both became tired and the fight ended in a draw.
9. A friend of Cobaugh's called the police and Detective Lively came to the house.
10. Detective Lively told Cobaugh and I that we could each charge the other or drop the
charges and put it behind us.
11. Cobaugh and I agreed to drop the charges and put the incident behind us.
12. Cobaugh, however, changed his mind and filed charges against me.
13. I pled guilty to simple assault in the Cumberland County Court of Common Pleas
with the Honorable M.L. Ebert, Jr. presiding.
14. I was sentenced immediately following my plea to a fine of$100.00,restitution and
one year of probation.
15. By my actions I was protecting Tena and I pled guilty solely to put the incident behind
me and to move on.
16. I make the above statements on the basis of my personal knowledge.
