COMPLAINT
BACKGROUND
1. Plaintiff, KENNETH F. LLOYD ("Lloyd"), is an adult individual residing at 4
Lincolnshire Court, City of Durham, State of North Carolina.
2. Plaintiff, ELDON L. JOINER ("Joiner"), is an adult individual residing at 118
Sunnyside Avenue, Town of Waynesboro, County of Franklin, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
3. The claims brought herein on behalf of Joiner are by and through Joiner's Power
of Attorney, CHARLES E. JOINER, and adult individual residing at 660-7 Geneva Drive, Town
of Mechanicsburg, County of Cumberland, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A true a correct
copy of Joiner's Power of Attorney is attached hereto and incorporated by reference as Exhibit
«A "
4. For purposes of this Complaint, all claims of Eldon L. Joiner may be referred to
as "Joiner."
5. Defendant, RICHARD PATTERSON ("Patterson"), through information and
belief, is an adult individual residing at 345 9 h Street, Borough of New Cumberland, County of
Cumberland, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
6. At all relevant times, Patterson acted and did business under the fictitious trade
names of HERR'S USED CARS ("Herr's") and BACKROADS SELECT PREOWNED
VEHICLES (`Backroads") (Collectively referred to herein with Patterson as "Defendant" or
"Defendants").
7. At all relevant times herein, Patterson, individually and/or through Herr's and/or
Backroads operated a business of selling cars on consignment on behalf of third parties.
8. Patterson held himself out to Lloyd, Joiner and others as a competent and
experienced in the aforementioned line of business.
9. Lloyd and Joiner further trusted Patterson because Patterson was the husband of a
co-worker and close friend of Lloyd and Charles Joiner.
10. On or about March 21, 2007, Patterson, individually and/or trading as Herr 's,
agreed to sell Lloyd's 1999 Porsche, VIN #' WPOAA2999XS620116 ("Porsche"), on Lloyd's
behalf, for the flat fee of one-thousand three-hundred dollars ($1,300.00).
2
11. Patterson's agreement with Lloyd was memorialized in a written e-mail exchange
dated March 21, 2007. A true and correct copy of the e-mail confirmation is attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit "B."
12. Patterson represented to Lloyd that Patterson would be able to sell the Porsche for
thirty-six thousand dollars ($36,000.00).
13. Lloyd reasonably believes, and therefore avers, that the fair market value of the
Porsche in Central Pennsylvania was at least thirty-six thousand dollars ($36,000.00) at the time
of Patterson's agreement with Lloyd and at the time Patterson took possession.
14. The terms of the agreement were that in exchange for the flat fee of one-thousand
three-hundred dollars ($1,300.00), Patterson would sell Lloyd's Porsche to a third party and
remit the entire sales price to Lloyd.
15. On or about March 31, 2007, Patterson traveled to Lloyd's home in North
Carolina, took possession of the Porsche and brought it back to Pennsylvania for the purpose of
selling it on Lloyd's behalf.
16. On or about April 19, 2007, Patterson represented to Lloyd that Patterson had sold
the Porsche to a third party.
17. Patterson did not reveal the purchase price to Lloyd.
18. Thereafter, Lloyd began contacting Patterson for his money.
19. At various times between April 19, 2007 and April 25, 2007, Patterson
represented to Lloyd that Patterson would be remitting a check for the purchase price to Lloyd.
3
20. On or about April 25, 2007, Lloyd sent an e-mail to Patterson, to which Patterson
responded that Patterson had misplaced the check and that Patterson would send it out on April
27`'.
21. On or about May 3, 2007, after the check did not arrive, Lloyd again inquired of
Patterson as to the status of the check.
22. During the course of that conversation, Patterson agreed to cancel the check and
send another via overnight delivery.
23. Despite Lloyd's inquiries, Patterson refused to provide Lloyd with the purchase
price for the Porsche.
24. Patterson later revealed that he had sold the Porsche, allowing the purchaser to
trade him a Mercedes - the value of which is unknown to Lloyd - as part of the remittance for the
Porsche.
25. At no time did Lloyd authorize Patterson to take a trade for the Porsche.
26. On or about May 7, 2007, Lloyd received a check from Patterson in the amount of
twenty-four thousand five-hundred dollars ($24,500.00).
27. Despite Lloyd's repeated demands for the balance of the value of the Porsche,
Paterson refuses to remit anything further to Lloyd.
28. Patterson never intended to remit Lloyd the fair market value of the Porsche,
despite assuring Lloyd that he would be able to sell the Porsche for thirty-six thousand dollars
($36,000.00).
29. Patterson never advised Lloyd that he would trade the Porsche for another
vehicle.
4
30. Patterson's statement that he would sell the Porsche for thirty-six thousand dollars
($36,000.00) and statement that Patterson would sell the car, as opposed to taking a trade,
constitute material misrepresentations by Patterson to Lloyd.
31. Lloyd reasonably relied upon the misrepresentations of Patterson to his detriment.
32. As a result of Patterson's fraud, deceit and misrepresentations, Lloyd lost the
benefit of the difference between the value of the Porsche and the funds actually remitted by
Patterson to Lloyd.
33. Some time in the Spring of 2006, Patterson, individually and/or trading as
Backwoods Select Preowned Vehicles, met with Eldon L. Joiner and offered to purchase a 1968
Volkswagen Beetle ("VW') convertible that was owned by Joiner.
34. The agreed-upon purchase price was eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00).
35. Charles Joiner held his father's Power of Attorney, and was authorized to act on
his father's behalf.
36. Patterson caused the VW to be picked up at Joiner's home in Waynesboro,
Pennsylvania.
37. After Patterson had possessed the VW for several weeks, Joiner and/or Charles
Joiner contacted Patterson for payment.
38. Patterson sent Joiner a check, made payable to "Eldon Joiner," dated July 7, 2006
in the sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00).
39. The check was deposited shortly after receipt and returned for insufficient funds.
A true and correct copy of the returned check is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit "C."
5
40. Joiner incurred a $10 returned check fee.
41. Upon contacting Patterson, Patterson advised Joiner and/or Charles Joiner that he
was sorry and directed Joiner to redeposit the check as soon as Patterson confirmed the funds
were available.
42. Despite numerous requests by Joiner and Charles Joiner, Patterson failed to advise
Joiner that the funds were available and has never remitted replacement funds on the bad check.
43. At various times, Patterson has provided excuses for non-payment, including
health and cash flow issues.
44. In light of Charles Joiner's relationship with Patterson's wife, Joiner refrained
from taking further action.
45. Joiner reasonably believes, and therefore avers, that Patterson never intended to
remit payment for the VW.
46. Patterson's representations that Patterson would remit the sum of eight thousand
dollars ($8,000.00) and promises to replace the check returned for insufficient funds represent
material misrepresentations by Patterson upon which Joiner relied to his detriment.
47. Despite repeated demand s for payment, Patterson refuses to pay Joiner for the
vehicle.

Buy car from $25,001 to $50,000.00-$1,300.00 plus auction fees.
Buy car $50,001 to $100,000.00----$1,500.00 plus auction fees.
Buy car $100,001.00 and up----$2,500.00
Auction fees are based on the selling price of the vehicle. They range
from $125.00 at the bottom end to Thousands at the top end. The
percentage the auction charges vary with the selling price. The have no
set percentage.
Anyhow, I think I should have the base figure for your car deal. How
does and even $1,300.00 sound? I based that figure on your "Out
Money" plus the fact that I'm going to get you the max out of your 1999
and it's all coming back to you.
If I don't hear from you I will assume that you went into cardiac arrest
when you read this and I will deal with Melinda 2 weeks after the funeral.
She'll need some time to mourn and settle your estate.

Rich

ORDER TO ANSWER INTERROGATORIES & PRODUCE DOCUMENTS
Plaintiff, by its undersigned counsel, moves this court for an Order, pursuant to
Pa.R.Civ.P. 4019, to compel Defendants to respond to interrogatories and, in support thereof,
avers the following:
1. Judgment for Plaintiff, Kenneth F. Lloyd against Defendants was entered in the
sum of $12,427.54 on September 3, 2008.
2. Judgment for Plaintiff, Eldon J. Joiner, was entered in the sum of $9,036.85 on
September 3, 2008.

and requests for documents were due within thirty days after they had been served, but none have
been received as of the date of giving notice hereof.
4. This court, by Order of the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, directed Defendants to
make full and complete answers to interrogatories and responses to requests for production of
documents within thirty (30) days on May 29, 2009, and a copy of that Order was duly served by
Plaintiffs' counsel on Defendants on June 1, 2009. The Court's May 29, 2009 Order and
counsel's letter serving same on Defendants are attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Defendants have neglected, failed, and refused to

SUPPLEMENTAL MOTION FOR DISCOVERY SANCTIONS FOR DEFENDANTS'
FAILURE TO OBEY COURT ORDERS TO ANSWER INTERROGATORIES AND
PRODUCE DOCUMENTS
Plaintiff, by its undersigned counsel, moves this court for an Order, pursuant to
Pa.R.Civ.P. 4019, to compel Defendants to respond to written discovery and impose sanctions, in
support thereof, avers the following:
1. Judgment for Plaintiff, Kenneth F. Lloyd against Defendants was entered in the
sum of $12,427.54 on September 3, 2008.
2. Judgment for Plaintiff, Eldon J. Joiner, was entered in the sum of $9,036.85 on
September 3, 2008.
3. Plaintiff served interrogatories and requests for production of documents upon
Defendants via certified mail, return receipt requested and U.S. first class mail on October 1,
2008.
4. Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 4006(a)(2), Defendants' responses to the interrogatories
and requests for documents were due within thirty (30) days after they had been served, but none
have been received as of the date of giving notice hereof.
5. On May 29, 2009, this Court, by Order of the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, directed
Defendants to make full and complete answers to interrogatories and responses to requests for
production of documents within thirty (30) days, and a copy of that Order was duly served by
Plaintiffs' counsel on Defendants on June 1, 2009. The Court's May 29, 2009 Order and
counsel's letter serving same on Defendants are attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Defendants neglected, failed, and refused to
supply answers to the interrogatories or response to request for production of documents.
7. On July 9, 2009, Plaintiffs' filed a Motion for Discovery Sanctions for failure to
obey the Court's Order directing Defendants to answer Plaintiffs' interrogatories and requests for
production of documents.
On August 6, 2009, the Court held a hearing on Plaintiffs' motions regarding
Defendants' failure to obey the Court Order regarding Plaintiffs' written discovery requests, as
well as hearing discussion regarding Plaintiffs' separate motion to compel Defendants'
deposition testimony.
9. Defendant, Richard Patterson, doing business as Defendants Herr's Used Cars and
Backroads Select Preowned Vehicles, attend the hearing before the Court at which time Mr.
Patterson acknowledged his obligation to provide responses to Plaintiffs' written discovery
requests and agreed to produce those responses within fifteen (15) days of the Court's Order.
10. By Order dated August 6, 2009, this Honorable Court, by the Honorable Kevin A.
Hess, directed Defendants to serve response to all outstanding discovery or suffer further
sanctions, including a fine of $55.00 per day, and such further sanctions as the Court may deem
appropriate upon further petition. The Court also awarded counsel fees payable by Defendant to
Plaintiffs in the amount of $400.00.
11. Defendant, Richard Patterson, is on the distribution list for the Order and also
received written correspondence from Plaintiffs' counsel enclosing copies of the August 6, 2009
Orders of the Court. True and correct copies of the Court's August 6, 2009 Order and Plaintiffs'
counsel's correspondence to Defendants are attached hereto as Exhibits "B" and "C,"
respectively.
12. The time has expired for which Defendants were to serve responses to Plaintiffs'
written discovery requests and the Defendants, shockingly, having failed to serve such responses;
the Defendants having additionally failed to make contact with Plaintiffs' counsel in any way;
and, finally, the Defendants have failed to remit counsel fees in the amount of $400.00 to the
Plaintiffs.
13. In light of the brazen and clear contempt of both the litigants' rights of the
Plaintiffs and the clear and direct Orders of the Court, and there being no other form of procedure
that has served to motivate the Defendants to comply with the litigants' rights of the Plaintiffs
and the authority of this Court, Plaintiffs request that the Court order the arrest of Defendant,
Richard Patterson, to be held in contempt until such time as Defendants comply with Plaintiffs'
discovery requests and the various Orders of the Court. See, Behr v. Behr a/k/a Franklin, 548 Pa.
144 (1997).
14. As stated herein, the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, issued Orders in this matter on
May 29, 2009 and August 6, 2009.
15. Both the Court's Order dated August 6, 2009 and counsel's service letters advised
Defendants that further application would be made to this Court upon Defendants failure to
comply with the Order. Plaintiffs accordingly deem notice of the instant supplemental motion to
be both futile and unnecessary.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request the Court to grant and execute the
proposed order annexed hereto.

PLAINTIFFS' PETITION TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT BY
DEFENDANT, RICHARD PATTERSON
Plaintiff, by and through its undersigned counsel, petitions this Court for an Order
to Show Cause why the Defendant, Richard Patterson, should not be cited and
adjudicated in contempt and in support thereof avers the follows:
1. Judgment for Plaintiff, Kenneth F. Lloyd, against Defendants was entered
in the sum of $12,427.54 on September 3, 2008.
2. Judgment for Plaintiff, Eldon J. Joiner, was entered in the sum of
$9,036.85 on September 3, 2008.
3. Plaintiff served interrogatories and requests for production of documents
upon Defendants via certified mail, return receipt requested and U.S. first class mail on
October 1, 2008.
4. Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 4006(a)(2), Defendants' responses to the
1
interrogatories and requests for documents were due within thirty (30) days after they had
been served, but none have been received as of the date of giving notice hereof.
5. On May 29, 2009, this Court, by Order of the Honorable Kevin A. Hess,
directed Defendants to make full and complete answers to interrogatories and responses
to requests for production of documents within thirty (30) days, and a copy of that Order
was duly served by Plaintiffs' counsel on Defendants on June 1, 2009. The Court's May
29, 2009 Order and counsel's letter serving same on Defendants are attached hereto as
Exhibit "A."
6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Defendants neglected, failed and refused
to supply answers to the interrogatories or response to request for production of
documents.
7. On July 9, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Discovery Sanctions for
failure to obey the Court's Order directing Defendants to answer Plaintiffs'
interrogatories and requests for production of documents.
On August 6, 2009, the Court held argument on Plaintiffs' motions
regarding Defendants' failure to obey the Court Order regarding Plaintiffs' written
discovery requests, as well argument regarding Plaintiffs' separate motion to compel
Defendants' deposition testimony.
9. Defendant, Richard Patterson, attend the argument before the Court at
which time Mr. Patterson acknowledged his obligation to provide responses to Plaintiffs'
written discovery requests and agreed to produce those responses within fifteen (15) days
of the Court's Order.
10. By Order dated August 6, 2009, this Honorable Court, by the Honorable
Kevin A. Hess, directed Defendants to serve responses to all outstanding discovery or
suffer further sanctions, including a fine of $55.00 per day, and such further sanctions as
the Court may deem appropriate upon further petition. The Court also awarded counsel
fees payable by Defendant to Plaintiffs in the amount of $400.00.
11. Defendant, Richard Patterson, is on the distribution list for the Order and
also received written correspondence from Plaintiffs' counsel enclosing copies of the
August 6, 2009 Orders of the Court. True and correct copies of the Court's August 6,
2009 Order and Plaintiffs' counsel's correspondence to Defendants are attached hereto as
Exhibits "B" and "C," respectively.
12 On August 26, 2009, Defendant, Richard Patterson, arrived at counsel for
Plaintiffs' office for a deposition in aid of execution, still without any documents
responsive to Plaintiffs' written discovery requests, only providing a notice of social
security award and a single 2008 form 1099. By that date, Mr. Patterson had still failed
to tender any of the sanctions ordered in the prior orders of the Court.
13. On or about August 24, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a Supplemental Motion for
Discovery Sanctions for Defendants' failure to obey Court Orders to answer
interrogatories, produce documents and pay counsel fees and sanctions order by the
Court.
14. On or about October 8, 2009, Plaintiffs' counsel received e-mail
correspondence from Mr. Patterson, purporting to be a letter under this case caption sent
to the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, offering to make certain payment to satisfy Defendants'
obligations to the Plaintiffs and counsel. A true and correct copy of the September 28,
2009 correspondence from Richard J. Patterson to the Honorable Kevin A. Hess is
attached hereto as Exhibit "D."
15. On October 8, 2009, following a argument attended by Plaintiffs' counsel
and Mr. Patterson, the Court issued an Order assessing a fine against Defendant in the
amount of $1,100.00 and counsel fees to Plaintiffs' counsel for a total of $1,000.00 in
counsel fees to date. Additionally, the Court's Order deferred further action to give the
parties an opportunity to enter into an amicable resolution of this matter and granting
Plaintiff leave to file a Petition to Show Cause why the Defendant should not be cited and
adjudicated in contempt in the event Mr. Patterson had not met or reasonably adjusted his
obligations to Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs' counsel. A true and correct copy of the Court's
October 8, 2009 Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "E."
16. On or about December 3, 2009, the undersigned sent correspondence to
Defendant, Richard Patterson, returning a $200.00 check to Mr. Patterson which
inaccurately memorialized a 1900 Balance" on the check. Despite the Defendants'
obligations to Plaintiffs in excess of $23,000.00, including fines and sanctions in the
amount of $2,100.00, the undersigned tendered a reasonable offer to Mr. Patterson in
which he would be permitted to tender total payments in satisfaction of all debts and fines
in the amount of $15,616.00 (a figure less than the offer made by Mr. Patterson to the
Court on or about September 28, 2009) and providing Defendant twenty-four (24)
months in which to pay. In that correspondence, the undersigned provided Mr. Patterson
ten (10) days in which to accept the settlement proposal or immediately produce all
requested records and pay outstanding fines and costs that have been ordered by the
Court. A true and correct copy of the December 3, 2009 correspondence is attached
hereto as Exhibit ' F."
17. By e-mail correspondence dated December 21, 2009, the undersigned
extended the deadline for returning a signed copy of the December 3, 2009 letter to
counsel's office until December 31, 2009. A true and correct copy of counsel's
December 21, 2009 e-mail correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit "G."
18. After sending the December 21, 2009 e-mail, the undersigned counsel
received a telephone call from Mr. Patterson stating that he was considering the offer and
would reply prior to December 31, 2009.
19. Having not heard from Mr. Patterson as of December 28, 2009, Plaintiffs'
counsel's paralegal, Jessica Porter, called and spoke to Mr. Patterson who indicated that
he had signed the letter in agreement with the Plaintiffs and would be putting it in the
mail that day.
20. As of the date of filing the instant petition, Defendant has made no
reasonable effort to reach an amicable resolution of these matters, has failed to provide
responsive documents to Plaintiffs' discovery as ordered by the Court on no less than
three (3) occasions and has failed to satisfy the various Orders for fines and counsel fees
that have been ordered by the Court in this matter.
21. Accordingly, Plaintiffs seek an Order to Show Cause from this Honorable
Court as to why Defendant, Richard Patterson, should not be cited and held in contempt
for his repeated failure to comply with the Orders of this Honorable Court.
22. As stated herein, the Honorable Kevin A. Hess issues Orders in this matter
on May 29, 2009; August 6, 2009 and October 8, 2009.
23. The Court's Order dated August 8, 2009 grants Plaintiffs leave to file the
instant petition, notice of which was provided to Defendant, Richard Patterson in the
form of Exhibits "F" and "G" hereto.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court to issue an Order citing
and adjudicating Defendant, Richard Patterson in contempt of Court, referring him to the
custody of the Cumberland County Sheriff until such time as Defendant complies with
the various Orders of the Court and granting Plaintiffs additional sanctions, including the
imposition of attorney's fees for the preparation of the instant petition.

Herr's Used Cars and Backroads Select Preowned Vehicles
Cumberland County CCP Docket No.: 08-3891
As you are aware, this office represents Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Joiner. I am again
enclosing a copy of the Court's October 8, 2009 Order, wherein the Court ordered you to
pay anon-compliance fine in the amount of $1,100.00 and counsel fees in the amount of
$1,000.00, subject to further proceedings for contempt in the event of your continued
non-compliance.
I received your check dated November 2, 2009 in the amount of $200.00, which
bears the memo "on acct. - $900 Bal." I am returning this check to you because the
memo does not accurately reflect the sums you owe. We will process no payment on
account that bears an inaccurate statement regarding this matter.
The Court, in its Order, stated that it would allow thirty (30) days for an amicable
resolution. My clients are willing to extend this period of time and have authorized me to
extend a favorable offer of compromise to you.
The total amount of fines you owe to date is $2,100.00. The judgments my clients
hold against you total $21,464.39, not including significant interest that has accumulated
thereon. The combined figure of indebtedness is $23,564.39, again, without adding
interest.
Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Joiner will agree to suspend all collection efforts and not seek
further contempt sanctions by the Court if you will render payments as follows:
Richard Patterson
December 3, 2009
Page Two
- $4,000.00 payable by January 1, 2010;
- $484.00 per month payable every month for twenty-four (24) months
beginning February 1, 2010
- Total of all payments will be $15,616.00.
This plan reduces the total amount owed by more than $10,000.00 considering
interest that would otherwise accrue, and allows you two (2) years to pay it off.
Your other option is to pay the fines and costs that are due immediately in full and
produce the records we have requested. Collection efforts would then continue and no
further discounts will be offered.
Please return a signed copy of this letter to me within ten (10) days to indicate
your acceptance of this settlement proposal. If we do not receive the signed letter back or
if you do not meet its terms, we will petition for another court hearing.
Thank you.

PLAINTIFFS' PETITION TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT BY
DEFENDANT, RICHARD PATTERSON
Plaintiff, by and through its undersigned counsel, petitions this Court for an Order
to Show Cause why the Defendant, Richard Patterson, should not be cited and
adjudicated in contempt and in support thereof avers the follows:
1. Judgment for Plaintiff, Kenneth F. Lloyd, against Defendants was entered
in the sum of $12,427.54 on September 3, 2008.
2. Judgment for Plaintiff, Eldon J. Joiner, was entered in the sum of
$9,036.85 on September 3, 2008.
3. Plaintiff served interrogatories and requests for production of documents
upon Defendants via certified mail, return receipt requested and U.S. first class mail on
1
ti
October 1, 2008.
4. Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 4006(a)(2), Defendants' responses to the
interrogatories and requests for documents were due within thirty (30) days after they had
been served, but none have been received as of the date of giving notice hereof.
5. On May 29, 2009, this Court, by Order of the Honorable Kevin A. Hess,
directed Defendants to make full and complete answers to interrogatories and responses
to requests for production of documents within thirty (30) days, and a copy of that Order
was duly served by Plaintiffs' counsel on Defendants on June 1, 2009. The Court's May
29, 2009 Order and counsel's letter serving same on Defendants are attached hereto as
Exhibit "A."
6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Defendants neglected, failed and refused
to supply answers to the interrogatories or response to request for production of
documents.
7. On July 9, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Discovery Sanctions for
failure to obey the Court's Order directing Defendants to answer Plaintiffs'
interrogatories and requests for production of documents.
8. On August 6, 2009, the Court held argument on Plaintiffs' motions
regarding Defendants' failure to obey the Court Order regarding Plaintiffs' written
discovery requests, as well argument regarding Plaintiffs' separate motion to compel
Defendants' deposition testimony.
9. Defendant, Richard Patterson, attend the argument before the Court at
which time Mr. Patterson acknowledged his obligation to provide responses to Plaintiffs'
written discovery requests and agreed to produce those responses within fifteen (15) days
of the Court's Order.
10. By Order dated August 6, 2009, this Honorable Court, by the Honorable
Kevin A. Hess, directed Defendants to serve responses to all outstanding discovery or
suffer further sanctions, including a fine of $55.00 per day, and such further sanctions as
the Court may deem appropriate upon further petition. The Court also awarded counsel
fees payable by Defendant to Plaintiffs in the amount of $400.00.
11. Defendant, Richard Patterson, is on the distribution list for the Order and
also received written correspondence from Plaintiffs' counsel enclosing copies of the
August 6, 2009 Orders of the Court. True and correct copies of the Court's August 6,
2009 Order and Plaintiffs' counsel's correspondence to Defendants are attached hereto as
Exhibits "B" and "C," respectively.
12 On August 26, 2009, Defendant, Richard Patterson, arrived at counsel for
Plaintiffs' office for a deposition in aid of execution, still without any documents
responsive to Plaintiffs' written discovery requests, only providing a notice of social
security award and a single 2008 form 1099. By that date, Mr. Patterson had still failed
to tender any of the sanctions ordered in the prior orders of the Court.
13. On or about August 24, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a Supplemental Motion for
Discovery Sanctions for Defendants' failure to obey Court Orders to answer
interrogatories, produce documents and pay counsel fees and sanctions order by the
Court.
14. On or about October 8, 2009, Plaintiffs' counsel received e-mail
correspondence from Mr. Patterson, purporting to be a letter under this case caption sent
to the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, offering to make certain payment to satisfy Defendants'
obligations to the Plaintiffs and counsel. A true and correct copy of the September 28,
2009 correspondence from Richard J. Patterson to the Honorable Kevin A. Hess is
attached hereto as Exhibit "D."
15. On October 8, 2009, following a argument attended by Plaintiffs' counsel
and Mr. Patterson, the Court issued an Order assessing a fine against Defendant in the
amount of $1,100.00 and counsel fees to Plaintiffs' counsel for a total of $1,000.00 in
counsel fees to date. Additionally, the Court's Order deferred further action to give the
parties an opportunity to enter into an amicable resolution of this matter and granting
Plaintiff leave to file a Petition to Show Cause why the Defendant should not be cited and
adjudicated in contempt in the event Mr. Patterson had not met or reasonably adjusted his
obligations to Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs' counsel. A true and correct copy of the Court's
October 8, 2009 Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "E."
16. On or about December 3, 2009, the undersigned sent correspondence to
Defendant, Richard Patterson, returning a $200.00 check to Mr. Patterson which
inaccurately memorialized a "$900 Balance" on the check. Despite the Defendants'
obligations to Plaintiffs in excess of $23,000.00, including fines and sanctions in the
amount of $2,100.00, the undersigned tendered a reasonable offer to Mr. Patterson in
which he would be permitted to tender total payments in satisfaction of all debts and fines
in the amount of $15,616.00 (a figure less than the offer made by Mr. Patterson to the
Court on or about September 28, 2009) and providing Defendant twenty-four (24)
months in which to pay. In that correspondence, the undersigned provided Mr. Patterson
ten (10) days in which to accept the settlement proposal or immediately produce all
requested records and pay outstanding fines and costs that have been ordered by the
Court. A true and correct copy of the December 3, 2009 correspondence is attached
hereto as Exhibit "F."
17. By e-mail correspondence dated December 21, 2009, the undersigned
extended the deadline for returning a signed copy of the December 3, 2009 letter to
counsel's office until December 31, 2009. A true and correct copy of counsel's
December 21, 2009 e-mail correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit "G."
18. After sending the December 21, 2009 e-mail, the undersigned counsel
received a telephone call from Mr. Patterson stating that he was considering the offer and
would reply prior to December 31, 2009.
19. Having not heard from Mr. Patterson as of December 28, 2009, Plaintiffs'
counsel's paralegal, Jessica Porter, called and spoke to Mr. Patterson who indicated that
he had signed the letter in agreement with the Plaintiffs and would be putting it in the
mail that day. The principal letter never arrived.
20. Defendant having made no reasonable effort to reach an amicable
resolution of these matters, having failed to provide responsive documents to Plaintiffs'
discovery as Ordered by the Court on no less than three (3) occasions and having failed to
satisfy the various Orders for fines and counsel fees that have been Ordered by the Court
in this matter, Plaintiffs filed a Petition to Show Cause for Contempt of Court by
Defendant, Richard Patterson, on or about January 7, 2010.
21. On January 11, 2010, the Court, by Order of the Honorable Kevin A.
Hess, issued an Order to Show Cause upon Defendant to show why Plaintiff should not
be entitled to the relief requested therein. Defendant never filed a response.
22. On March 5, 2010, the Court held Argument regarding Plaintiffs' Petition
that was attended by both parties. At argument, the parties reached a mutually acceptable
resolution of all matters that was placed on the record before the Court.
23. Pursuant to the agreements and representations made before the Court at
Argument on March 5, 2010, the Court issued two Orders by the Honorable Kevin A.
Hess. The first Order, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "H," states that
the Court is satisfied that Defendant is in contempt of the Court's prior discovery Orders
and that the Defendant is cited in contempt. Adjudication was deferred to the call of the
Plaintiffs and on condition that Defendant abide by the agreement of the parties as
reflected in an Order of even date therewith.
24. The second March 5, 2010 Order of the Court by the Honorable Kevin A.
Hess, is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "I." That Order directed
Defendant to pay the Plaintiffs on account of a prior award of attorney's fees the sum of
$1,000.00 prior to the close of business on March 12, 2010; directed the Defendant to pay
on account of sums due and owing the Plaintiff the sum of $3,000.00 prior to the close of
business on March 19, 2010; and directed Defendant to thereafter make regular monthly
payments on account of all sums due the Plaintiffs in the amount of $300.00 until the sum
of $14,500.00 is paid in full.
25. The $3,000.00 and $14,500.00 payments Defendant agreed to pay
Plaintiffs and which Defendant was directed to pay Plaintiffs pursuant to the March 5,
2010 Order of the Court, was in fact a considerable compromise of the total judgments
held by Plaintiffs against Defendant which exceed $21,000.00, not including interest on
those judgments that has been accruing since the entry of judgment on or about
September 3, 2008.
26. As of the date of filing the instant Petition, Defendant has made no effort
to comply with any aspect of the March 5, 2010 Order of the Court and has flatly refused
to make any payment to Plaintiffs as directed therein whatsoever. Defendant has also
continued to fail to reasonably adhere to any of the prior Orders of the Court with respect
to payment of fines or production of discovery in aid of execution that had been properly
propounded by Plaintiffs in the above-captioned case.
27. Accordingly, Plaintiffs seek an Order to Show Cause from this Honorable
Court as to why Defendant, Richard Patterson, should not be cited and held in contempt
for his repeated failure to comply with the Orders of this Honorable Court and an Order
reinstating the assessment of fines and costs in prior Orders of the Court, including but
not limited to the Court's Orders of august 6, 2009, October 8, 2009 and providing for an
assessment of additional fines and attorney's fees payable to Plaintiffs in connection with
the preparation and appearances associated with the various Petitions and Motions
Plaintiffs have been compelled to file in this matter.
28. As stated herein, the Honorable Kevin A. Hess issued Orders in this matter
on May 29, 2009; August 6, 2009; October 8, 2009 and March 5, 2010.
29. The Court's Order dated March 5, 2010 grants Plaintiffs leave to file the
instant Petition, notice of which was provided to Defendant, Richard Patterson, in the
form of Exhibits "H" and "I" hereto.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court to issue and Order citing
and adjudicating Defendant, Richard Patterson, in contempt of Court, referring him to the
custody of the Cumberland County Sheriff until such time as Defendant complies with
the various Orders of the Court and granting Plaintiffs additional sanctions, including but
limited to the imposition of attorney's fees for the preparation of and appearances
required on the instant Petition and Plaintiffs' filed on or about January 6, 2010

Herr's Used Cars and Backroads Select Preowned Vehicles
Cumberland County CCP Docket No.: 08-3891
As you are aware, this office represents Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Joiner. I am again
enclosing a copy of the Court's October 8, 2009 Order, wherein the Court ordered you to
pay anon-compliance fine in the amount of $1,100.00 and counsel fees in the amount of
$1,000.00, subject to further proceedings for contempt in the event of your continued
non-compliance.
I received your check dated November 2, 2009 in the amount of $200.00, which
bears the memo "on acct. - $900 Bal." I am returning this check to you because the
memo does not accurately reflect the sums you owe. We will process no payment on
account that bears an inaccurate statement regarding this matter.
The Court, in its Order, stated that it would allow thirty (30) days for an amicable
resolution. My clients are willing to extend this period of time and have authorized me to
extend a favorable offer of compromise to you.
The total amount of fines you owe to date is $2,100.00. The judgments my clients
hold against you total $21,464.39, not including significant interest that has accumulated
thereon. The combined figure of indebtedness is $23,564.39, again, without adding
interest.
Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Joiner will agree to suspend all collection efforts and not seek
further contempt sanctions by the Court if you will render payments as follows:
Richard Patterson
December 3, 2009
Page Two
$4,000.00 payable by January 1, 2010;
$484.00 per month payable every month for twenty-four (24) months
beginning February 1, 2010
Total of all payments will be $15,616.00.
This plan reduces the total amount owed by more than $10,000.00 considering
interest that would otherwise accrue, and allows you two (2) years to pay it off.
Your other option is to pay the fines and costs that are due immediately in full and
produce the records we have requested. Collection efforts would then continue and no
further discounts will be offered.
Please return a signed copy of this letter to me within ten (10) days to indicate
your acceptance of this settlement proposal. If we do not receive the signed letter back or
if you do not meet its terms, we will petition for another court hearing.
Thank you.
Very truly ya irs_

PLAINTIFFS' PETITION TO SHOW CAUSE FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT BY
DEFENDANT, RICHARD PATTERSON
Plaintiff, by and through its undersigned counsel, petitions this Court for an Order
to Show Cause why the Defendant, Richard Patterson, should not be cited and
adjudicated in contempt and in support thereof avers the follows:
1. Judgment for Plaintiff, Kenneth F. Lloyd, against Defendants was entered
in the sum of $12,427.54 on September 3, 2008.
2. Judgment for Plaintiff, Eldon J. Joiner, was entered in the sum of
$9,036.85 on September 3, 2008.
3. Plaintiff served interrogatories and requests for production of documents
upon Defendants via certified mail, return receipt requested and U.S. first class mail on
1
40
October 1, 2008.
4. Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ.P. 4006(a)(2), Defendants' responses to the
interrogatories and requests for documents were due within thirty (30) days after they had
been served, but none have been received as of the date of giving notice hereof.
On May 29, 2009, this Court, by Order of the Honorable Kevin A. Hess,
directed Defendants to make full and complete answers to interrogatories and responses
to requests for production of documents within thirty (30) days, and a copy of that Order
was duly served by Plaintiffs' counsel on Defendants on June 1, 2009. The Court's May
29, 2009 Order and counsel's letter serving same on Defendants are attached hereto as
Exhibit "A."
6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Defendants neglected, failed and refused
to supply answers to the interrogatories or response to request for production of
documents.
7. On July 9, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Discovery Sanctions for
failure to obey the Court's Order directing Defendants to answer Plaintiffs'
interrogatories and requests for production of documents.
8. On August 6, 2009, the Court held argument on Plaintiffs' motions
regarding Defendants' failure to obey the Court Order regarding Plaintiffs' written
discovery requests, as well argument regarding Plaintiffs' separate motion to compel
Defendants' deposition testimony.
9. Defendant, Richard Patterson, attended the argument before the Court at
which time Mr. Patterson acknowledged his obligation to provide responses to Plaintiffs'
written discovery requests and agreed to produce those responses within fifteen (15) days
of the Court's Order.
10. By Order dated August 6, 2009, this Honorable Court, by the Honorable
Kevin A. Hess, directed Defendants to serve responses to all outstanding discovery or
suffer further sanctions, including a fine of $55.00 per day, and such further sanctions as
the Court may deem appropriate upon further petition. The Court also awarded counsel
fees payable by Defendant to Plaintiffs in the amount of $400.00.
11. Defendant, Richard Patterson, is on the distribution list for the Order and
also received written correspondence from Plaintiffs' counsel enclosing copies of the
August 6, 2009 Orders of the Court. True and correct copies of the Court's August 6,
2009 Order and Plaintiffs' counsel's correspondence to Defendants are attached hereto as
Exhibits "B" and "C," respectively.
12 On August 26, 2009, Defendant, Richard Patterson, arrived at counsel for
Plaintiffs' office for a deposition in aid of execution, still without any documents
responsive to Plaintiffs' written discovery requests, only providing a notice of social
security award and a single 2008 form 1099. By that date, Mr. Patterson had still failed
to tender any of the sanctions ordered in the prior orders of the Court.
13. On or about August 24, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a Supplemental Motion for
Discovery Sanctions for Defendants' failure to obey Court Orders to answer
interrogatories, produce documents and pay counsel fees and sanctions order by the
Court.
14. On or about October 8, 2009, Plaintiffs' counsel received e-mail
correspondence from Mr. Patterson, purporting to be a letter under this case caption sent
to the Honorable Kevin A. Hess, offering to make certain payment to satisfy Defendants'
obligations to the Plaintiffs and counsel. A true and correct copy of the September 28,
2009 correspondence from Richard J. Patterson to the Honorable Kevin A. Hess is
attached hereto as Exhibit "D."
15. On October 8, 2009, following an argument attended by Plaintiffs' counsel
and Mr. Patterson, the Court issued an Order assessing a fine against Defendant in the
amount of $1,100.00 and counsel fees to Plaintiffs' counsel for a total of $1,000.00 in
counsel fees to date. Additionally, the Court's Order deferred further action to give the
parties an opportunity to enter into an amicable resolution of this matter and granting
Plaintiffs leave to file a Petition to Show Cause why the Defendants should not be cited
and adjudicated in contempt in the event Mr. Patterson had not met or reasonably
adjusted his obligations to Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs' counsel. A true and correct copy of
the Court's October 8, 2009 Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "E."
16. On or about December 3, 2009, the undersigned sent correspondence to
Defendant, Richard Patterson, returning a $200.00 check to Mr. Patterson which
inaccurately memorialized a "$900 Balance" on the check. Despite the Defendants'
obligations to Plaintiffs in excess of $23,000.00, including fines and sanctions in the
amount of $2,100.00, the undersigned tendered a reasonable offer to Mr. Patterson in
which he would be permitted to tender total payments in satisfaction of all debts and fines
in the amount of $15,616.00 (a figure less than the offer made by Mr. Patterson to the
Court on or about September 28, 2009) and providing Defendant twenty-four (24)
months in which to pay. In that correspondence, the undersigned provided Mr. Patterson
ten (10) days in which to accept the settlement proposal or immediately produce all
requested records and pay outstanding fines and costs that have been ordered by the
Court. A true and correct copy of the December 3, 2009 correspondence is attached
hereto as Exhibit "F."
17. By e-mail correspondence dated December 21, 2009, the undersigned
extended the deadline for returning a signed copy of the December 3, 2009 letter to
counsel's office until December 31, 2009. A true and correct copy of counsel's
December 21, 2009 e-mail correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit "G."
18. After sending the December 21, 2009 e-mail, the undersigned counsel
received a telephone call from Mr. Patterson stating that he was considering the offer and
would reply prior to December 31, 2009.
19. Having not heard from Mr. Patterson as of December 28, 2009, Plaintiffs'
counsel's paralegal, Jessica Porter, called and spoke to Mr. Patterson who indicated that
he had signed the letter in agreement with the Plaintiffs and would be putting it in the
mail that day. The principal letter never arrived.
20. Defendant having made no reasonable effort to reach an amicable
resolution of these matters, having failed to provide responsive documents to Plaintiffs'
discovery as Ordered by the Court on no less than three (3) occasions and having failed to
satisfy the various Orders for fines and counsel fees that have been Ordered by the Court
in this matter, Plaintiffs filed a Petition to Show Cause for Contempt of Court by
Defendant, Richard Patterson, on or about January 7, 2010.
21. On January 11, 2010, the Court, by Order of the Honorable Kevin A.
Hess, issued an Order to Show Cause upon Defendant to show why Plaintiff should not
be entitled to the relief requested therein. Defendant never filed a response.
22. On March 5, 2010, the Court held Argument regarding Plaintiffs' Petition
that was attended by both parties. At argument, the parties reached a mutually acceptable
resolution of all matters that was placed on the record before the Court.
23. Pursuant to the agreements and representations made before the Court at
Argument on March 5, 2010, the Court issued two Orders by the Honorable Kevin A.
Hess. The first Order, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "H," states that
the Court is satisfied that Defendant is in contempt of the Court's prior discovery Orders
and that the Defendant is cited in contempt. Adjudication was deferred to the call of the
Plaintiffs and on condition that Defendant abide by the agreement of the parties as
reflected in an Order of even date therewith.
24. The second March 5, 2010 Order of the Court by the Honorable Kevin A.
Hess, is attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit "l." That Order directed
Defendant to pay the Plaintiffs on account of a prior award of attorney's fees the sum of
$1,000.00 prior to the close of business on March 12, 2010; directed the Defendant to pay
on account of sums due and owing the Plaintiff the sum of $3,000.00 prior to the close of
business on March 19, 2010; and directed Defendant to thereafter make regular monthly
payments on account of all sums due the Plaintiffs in the amount of $300.00 until the sum
of $14,500.00 is paid in full.
25. The $3,000.00 and $14,500.00 payments Defendant agreed to pay
Plaintiffs and which Defendant was directed to pay Plaintiffs pursuant to the March 5,
2010 Order of the Court, was in fact a considerable compromise of the total judgments
held by Plaintiffs against Defendant which exceed $21,000.00, not including interest on
those judgments that has been accruing since the entry of judgment on or about
September 3, 2008.
26. Since the entry and Defendants receipt of the Courts March 5, 2010
Orders, Defendant has made three (3) payments, the first payment on or about July 8,
2010 in the amount of $5,200.00 (which Defendant paid at the "last minute" because he
was scheduled to appear before the Court on Plaintiffs' application for Defendant's
contempt); second payment on or about August 19, 2010 in the amount of $600.00; and a
third payment on or about December 1, 2010, to comply with the March 5, 2010 Order of
the Court. Defendant has also continued to fail to reasonably adhere to any of the prior
Orders of the Court with respect to payment of fines or production of discovery in aid of
execution that had been properly propounded by Plaintiffs in the above-captioned case.
27. Accordingly, Plaintiffs seek an Order to Show Cause from this Honorable
Court as to why Defendant, Richard Patterson, should not be cited and held in contempt
for his repeated failure to comply with the Orders of this Honorable Court and an Order
reinstating the assessment of fines and costs in prior Orders of the Court, including but
not limited to the Court's Orders of August 6, 2009 and October 8, 2009; and providing
for an assessment of additional fines and attorney's fees payable to Plaintiffs in
connection with the preparation and appearances associated with the various Petitions
and Motions which Plaintiffs have been compelled to file in this matter.
28. As stated herein, the Honorable Kevin A. Hess issued Orders in this matter
on May 29, 2009; August 6, 2009; October 8, 2009 and March 5, 2010.
29. The Court's Order dated March 5, 2010 grants Plaintiffs leave to file the
instant Petition, notice of which was provided to Defendant, Richard Patterson, in the
form of Exhibits "H" and "I" hereto.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court to issue an Order citing
and adjudicating Defendant, Richard Patterson, in contempt of Court, referring him to the
custody of the Cumberland County Sheriff until such time as Defendant complies with
the various Orders of the Court and granting Plaintiffs additional sanctions, including but
limited to the imposition of attorney's fees for the preparation of and appearances
required on the instant Petition.

Attorney, Charles E.. Joiner v. Richard Patterson, Individually and d/b/a
Herr's Used Cars and- Backroads Select Preowned Vehicles
Cumberland County CCP Docket No.: 08-3891
As you are aware, this office represents Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Joiner. I am again
enclosing a copy of the Court's October. 8, 2009 Order, wherein the Court ordered you to
pay a non-compliance fine in the amount of $1,100.00 and counsel fees in the amount of
$1,000.00, subject to further proceedings for contempt in the event of your continued
non-compliance.
I received your check dated November 2, 2009 in the amount of $200.00, which
bears the memo "on acct. - $900 Bal." I am returning this check to you because the
memo does not accurately reflect the sums you owe. We will process no payment on
account that bears an inaccurate statement regarding this matter.
The Court, in its Order, stated that it would allow thirty (30) days for an amicable
resolution. My clients are willing to extend this period of time and have authorized me to
extend a favorable offer of compromise to you.
The total amount of fines you owe to date is $2,100.00. The judgments my clients
hold against you total $21,464.39, not including significant interest that has accumulated
thereon. The combined figure of indebtedness is $23,564.39, again, without adding
interest.
Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Joiner will agree to suspend all collection efforts and not seek
further contempt sanctions by the Court if you will render payments as follows:
. I Richard Patterson
December 3, 2009
Page Two
- $4,000.00 payable by January 1, 2010;
- $484.00 per month payable every month for twenty-four (24) months
beginning February 1, 2010
- Total of all payments will be $15,616.00.
This plan reduces the total amount owed by more than $10,000.00 considering
interest that would otherwise accrue, and allows you two (2) years to pay it off.
Your other option is to pay the fines and costs that are due immediately in full and
produce the records we have requested. Collection efforts would then continue and no
further discounts will be offered,
Please return a signed copy of.this letter to me within ten (10) days to indicate
your acceptance of this settlement proposal. If we do not receive the signed letter back or
if you do not meet its terms, we will petition for another court hearing.
Thank you,

Mr. Patterson,
Attached please find my December 3'd letter to you. This letter was sent via certified mail which you have apparently
declined to claim.
AS Judge Hess Indicated he would give you the benefit of the doubt in cooperating with me regarding resolution of this
matter, I am attaching this letter and sending it to you via regular mail so as to account for the remote possibility that you
did not receive notice of the certified mail copy.
I am also extending the deadline for returning a signed copy of the letter to me until December 31, 2009 and will agree to
accept the first settlement payment called for therein by January 15, 2010.
We will send no further notices before contacting the Court and will provide no further extensions.
