Defendant's Answer and New Matter
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted in part and Denied in part. It is admitted that the deed
reference is where the Keegans took title, it is specifically denied that said
deed fairly and accurately describes the property owned by the Keegans
and strict proof thereof is demanded.
4. Denied as stated. It is denied that Keegans and their predecessors have
been in continuous and exclusive possession as claimed and strict proof
thereof is demanded. To the contrary, Cox has been in exclusive
possession and control of the lane in question since 1974.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Denied as stated. It is admitted that portions of said tracts may be
contiguous.
8. Denied as stated. It is admitted that the said tracts are 29.7 acres more
or less and 3.045 acres more or less.
9. Denied. A lane nineteen (19) feet wide is described in Cumberland
County Recorder of Deeds deed book 11-K-14. It states the Keegan tract of
land borders the western side of the lane. It does not include the lane in
the Keegan chain of title to which the Keegans now are attempting to
claim ownership.
10. Admitted with clarification. It is admitted that Cox is the owner of
the lane in question by virtue of her deed or in the alternative as by
having been in exclusive possession of the same for the past 33 plus years.
Since Cox purchased the property in question, the lane was abandoned
for ingress and egress purposes by everyone except Cox and the lane in
question has been apart of their backyard.
11. Denied. Cox and her family have been in exclusive possession and
control of said lane since they purchased their property and therefore had
every right to occupy the lane in question. It is admitted that they have
been harassed by Christopher Keegan since he and his wife purchased
their property on July 25, 2007. The property of the Keegan borders the
western side of the 19 foot strip of land but does not include it. As a
result Keegan has no ownership interest in the 19 foot strip of land in
question.
Count 1
Action to Quiet Title Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P.1061(b)(1)
12. The responses to paragraphs 1 through 11 are incorporated herein and
reference is made thereto.
13. Denied. Keegans are not the owners of the farm lane and no one in
their chain of title has ever owned the farm lane.
Wherefore, it is prayed the claim of the plaintiffs be dismissed because the lane
in question is not in their chain of title.
Count 2
Action for Declaratory Judgment Pursuant to 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 7531 et. seq.
14. The responses to paragraphs 1 through 11 are incorporated herein and
reference is made thereto.
15. Denied. There is no controversy regarding the ownership of the lane
in question, as the Keegans have no ownership interest in said lane and
are not in possession of said lane. Due to the fact that Keegans are out of
possession of the lane it is their burden to file an ejectment action to
advance their claim.
Wherefore, it is prayed that an Order be entered declaring that Anne M. Cox is
the lawful owner of the 19 foot strip of land in question. In the alternative, it is
respectfully prayed that the Keegans be compelled to file an Action in Ejectment
or be forever barred from asserting any right, title or interest in said 19 foot strip
of land.
New Matter
16. The plaintiffs fail to state a cause of action as they have no ownership
interest in the lane in their chain of title.
Wherefore, it is prayed that an Order be entered declaring that Anne M. Cox is
the lawful owner of the 19 foot strip of land in question.

Amended New Matter
16. The plaintiffs fail to state a cause of action as they have no ownership
interest in the lane in their chain of title.
17. The plaintiffs are barred by the doctrine of waiver and/or estoppel
and / or collateral estoppel and / or res judicata. The plaintiffs' successor in
interest filed an action to quiet title and in said action establishing that the
boundary line of the property is along the western side of the 19 foot lane
in question. Said Action to Quiet Title is docketed at 91 September Term
1974 in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
The plaintiffs' successor in interest established that they do not own the
lane in question and further established that the 19 foot lane is specifically
excluded from the legal description of their property. Said Decree of Court
is filed in the Office of Recorder of Deeds in and for Cumberland County
Pennsylvania at Deed Book 25 "T" page 583 on August 28, 1974.

ORDER PRELIMINARY TO NON-JURY TRIAL OF CIVIL CASE
AND NOW, this 3rd day of February, 2010, after conducting a pre-trial
conference on February 3, 2010, we hereby schedule this matter for trial on
THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 2010 at 10:00 A.M. in Courtroom # 9 in the York County
Judicial Center
We have allocated 1 days for the trial of this case, including verdict.
Counsel are expected to conclude their presentations within the time allotted,
including allowing a reasonable time for verdict. This will be a NON-JURY trial.
FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL SUMMARY OF CASE:
This case arises from a dispute between neighbors over the ownership of a
19 foot wide lane ("the lane"). Plaintiffs own approximately 29.7 acres known as
639 W. Old York Rd., Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pa. and Defendant owns a
-1-
contiguous tract of land east of Plaintiffs' tract consisting of approximately 3.045
acres and known as 631 W. Old York Rd. Plaintiffs acquired their tract by deed
dated July 25, 2007 and Defendant acquired her tract with her husband, now
deceased, on August 19, 1974.
Plaintiffs filed a Complaint on August 26, 2008 for Quiet Title and a
declaratory judgment of ownership of "the lane." Plaintiffs claim "the lane" is
included in their tract. Defendant filed an answer with new matter on September
23, 2008 and amended the new matter on October 1, 2008. Defendant claims that
Plaintiffs' successor in interest quieted title to "the lane" and further claims by Order
dated August 28, 1974 it was established that Plaintiffs do not own "the lane."
Alternatively, Defendant claims that she is the owner of "the lane" through adverse
possession.
Plaintiffs replied to the new matter on October 16, 2008 and a pre-trial was
held in Cumberland County on June 16, 2009. Due to a conflict in that County, the
case was assigned to this Court on September 1, 2009. The matter is presently
before this Court for a pre-trial conference.
LEGAL ISSUES OF CASE:
Who is the record owner of "the lane?"
Does Defendant own "the lane" by adverse possession?
DAMAGES:
Both parties request an order declaring them owners of the disputed strip.
.2.
Counsel shall file legal authority for their respective positions on these
issues at least one week prior trial.
WITNESSES:
The parties have identified witnesses to be called at trial in their
respective pre-trial memoranda.
There have been no objections to any witness listed by any party,
except: NONE
Any party who desires to call a witness who is listed on another party's
list must insure that such witness is present at the time of trial and may not rely on
the fact that the witness's name appears on another party's list as assurance that
the witness will be compelled to be present or called to testify by the listing party.
Documents such as curricula vitae and expert reports shall be
exchanged by the parties at least one month prior to trial.
Final witness lists, along with a brief summary of the proposed
testimony of any witness listed, shall be exchanged by the parties at least one
months prior trial.
Final depositions for use at trial or otherwise shall be completed at
least one month prior trial.
During trial, examination of an expert witness's curriculum vitae shall
be limited to the important and salient features of the expert's qualifications which
directly pertain to the matter at issue. A copy of the entire curriculum vitae will be
marked as an exhibit and will be admitted at the time of trial.
-3-
EXHIBITS:
Exhibits have been identified by the parties in the respective pre-trial
memoranda. All exhibits shall be pre-marked prior to trial, and shall be viewed or
exchanged by the parties at least one month priorto trial. If any exhibits have been
previously exchanged, it is sufficient that an exhibit to be used at trial be described
sufficiently to be identified by all parties.
The parties shall be prepared to have copies or photographs available
for the Court of any exhibit not readily stored in a letter-sized file folder. Absent
extraordinary circumstances, the copies or photographs of the exhibits will be
substituted in the record for the original oversized exhibit. The copies or
photographs may be stored in commonly used digital format on compact disk (CD)
or digital video disk (DVD).
Objections to the authenticity of any exhibit shall be made in writing to
the party offering the exhibit, with copies to all other parties, at least one month
priorto trial. In the absence of any written objection, no evidence need be
presented to authenticate an exhibit. Any other objections to any exhibit shall be
made, with supporting legal authority, in writing to the offering party with copies to
all other parties and the trial judge at least one week prior to trial.
If any exhibits are in electronic or digital format, such exhibits shall be
placed on compact disk (CD), digital video disk (DVD), VHS video tape, or any data
storage medium capable of being accessed with a USB connection.
COURTROOM TECHNOLOGY:
The Court does not have available any other white board, black
board, easel, or other similar items. Those items must be supplied by counsel and
approved by the Court, prior to trial, for use in the courtroom.
-4-
THIS TRIAL WILL REQUIRE THE FOLLOWING TECHNOLOGY:
NONE
It is the responsibility of the parties to contact Court Administration at
least two weeks prior to trial to arrange for the use of evidence carts, electronic
white boards, and any special technology not presently in a courtroom, and are
expected to test any such equipment, including computers or other display devices,
in the courtroom assigned, at least one week prior to trial.
SETTLEMENT:
The prospects of settlement are: The parties are not talking to each
other. Apparently each believes in the strength of their case. From this Court's
review of the record and pleadings, neither party should be assured of victory.
Additionally, these parties will have to live with each other in the future. While we
can, if need be, establish once and for all a boundary line, one party will be
extremely disappointed. Our court decision will not repair the damaged
relationships.
This matter should be settled. We urge the parties to use the services
of a skilled mediator to resolve their dispute prior to trial.
In any event, we will direct that all parties shall meet, face to face, not
less than thirty (30) days prior to trial, for not less than one-half hour, to discuss
resolution of this matter if a resolution is not reached before then. The trial judge
will expect to hear from the parties, prior to trial, of the results of this meeting.
All final settlement offers shall be submitted to all parties at least one
week prior to trial.
-5-
PRE-TRIAL MOTIONS AND OTHER SUBMISSIONS:
All pre-trial motions, including motions in limine, shall be filed of
record with supporting legal authority and served on all parties, with a copy to the
undersigned Judge, at least one month prior to trial. Responses to such motions,
with supporting legal authority, shall be filed of record and served on all parties, with
a copy to the undersigned Judge, within five (5) days after the filing of any motion to
which the response is made. Any requests for oral argument shall accompany the
submissions.
Counsel and any party not represented shall meet at least one week
prior to trial and prepare a joint statement of stipulations which shall be filed of
record on or before that date. No evidence will be taken at trial on matters which
are stipulated.
The parties shall submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of
law to the trial judge at least one week prior to trial.
Copies of this ORDER were given to the parties.

SETTLEMENT NARRATIVE WITH OFFER
On March 15, 2010 the parties met with counsel to discuss settlement as required by the
Pre-Trial Order.
Via correspondence dated February 19, 2010 and February 26, 2010, the Keegans
proposed taking the matter to mediation. Having heard no response to either letter, a letter dated
March 4, 2010 was sent to Mr. Douglas wherein the Keegans again proposed mediation, offering
to bear the entire expense thereof. This offer was also not acknowledged.
On March 11, 2010 another letter was sent to Mr. Douglas advising that the Keegans
would be at the Scherer law office on Monday, March 15, 2010 at 3:00 P.M. for the meeting
required by the Pre-Trial Order. This letter was also not acknowledged, however Mrs. Cox and
Mr. Douglas appeared at the Scherer law office at approximately 3:10 that day. The face-to-face
portion of the meeting lasted approximately 20 minutes. In an effort to compromise and avoid
litigation, the Keegans made a settlement offer which was not responded to by Mrs. Cox nor did
ti'
she make a counter-offer. The meeting ended when Mr. Douglas walked out of the meeting with
his client.

RE: Use of Farm Lane
Dear Mr. Cox:
I am the attorney for Christopher and Audrey Keegan, who own the farm located
at 639 West Old York Road, Carlisle.
. It is my understanding Mr. Keegan spoke with you and asked you to refrain from
using their property for any purpose and encroaching on their property at the common
boundary shared with your property. The Keegans have used their farm for agricultural
and equine activities since they settled on the property and plan to continue these uses
for the indefinite future.
Please accept this letter as notification you do not have any legal right which
would permit your use of any portion of the Keegan's property. The Keegans also
request that you remove immediately any personal items and yard waste or clippings
which you have placed on their property. Any further unauthorized use of the Keegan's
property may cause them to take appropriate legal action against you.
Very truly yours,
O'BRIEN, BARIC & SCHERER

Re: Jennings F. Cox / Christopher Keegan
Use of Farm Lane
Dear Mike:
I represent Jennings and Anne Cox and acknowledge receipt of your letter
. of November 20, 2007.
The Coxes believe that the 19 foot strip of land in controversy is on their
property in accordance with a survey prepared by Thomas A. Neff on June
1,1960, showing an iron pin found by Mr. Neff, and showing the 19 foot strip of
land to be part of their 3.045 acres. In addition, the Coxes have lived at this
property since 1974, and have had continuous use of the 19 foot strip of land
(lane) since that time.
Michael A Scherer, Esquire
O'Brien, Bark &- Scherer
19 W. South St.
Carlisle, PA 17013
For the purposes of this letter, the Cox chain of title runs from McCoy to
Morrison to Witmer to Cox. The Keegan chain of title shows that his land was
owned at one time by a Mr. Ahl and James Stone. In addition, there was a
survey dated April 8, 1939 of the premises in question. On record are Mr. Ahl's
deed in 1.1 L 129, the Barrick deed in 11 K 142, and the deed from Margaret
Munro to John Munro dated November 20, 1844, and recorded April 20, 1934.
Also there is a deed from the First Presbyterian Church to Mr. Ahl, and Mr. Ahl's
deed to Mr. and Mrs. Snyder, an adjacent property owner.
From all of this it would seem that there is no mention in any public
record of the existence of a lane shown on the survey dated April 8, 1839, and in
the Munro deed dated 1844 and recorded 1934, the existence of the lane is not
mentioned. The first mention appears to be in a deed to Barrick stating that the
property begins at the west line of a 19 foot lane, and, of course, this is further
carried out in Mr. Ahl's deed to the Snyders in 1952 in which a right-of-way over
the lane is given to the Snyders and a similar right-of-way over the lane is
reserved to Mr. Ahl, which for years has been abandoned.
There have been surveys prepared by several different surveyors in the
past. The 1960 survey shows the existence of an "iron pin." One of the surveys
prepared in 1983 for Dr. Stone, a former owner of the Keegan property, shows an
"iron pin (set)" by the surveyor.
Thus from the state of the record, I find it difficult to affirm the contention
that there is any public record which supports Mr. Keegan's claim to owning the
19 foot strip of land.
While it is our position that the property in question is owned by the
Coxes, in the alternative, they have claim to the property by way of adverse
possession as they have cared and maintained it in excess of 21 years.
Use of a piece of land for lawn purposes in connection with a residence,
together with continued maintenance of such lawn, is sufficient to establish
adverse possession. Reed v Wolyniec, 323 Pa Super 550,471 A2d 80 (1983).
At all times the adverse possession by the Cox family, was exclusive, open
and notorious. "Open and notorious" means such possession as will permit the
true owner to have notice in order that he may act to recover his property. Gee v
CBS, Inc., 471 F Supp 600 (E.D. Pa. 1979) aff'd without op., 612 F2d 572 (3d Cir.
Pa. 1979).
The possession in question was adverse and uninterrupted in excess of the
requisite 21 year period. An adverse use is uninterrupted when those against
whom the use is adverse do not bring and pursue to judgment legal proceedings
in which the use is determined to be without legal justification, or cause a
cessation of use without the aid of legal proceedings. Reed, supra. Day to day use
is not necessary to satisfy the continuity element and once his title has matured,
relinquishment of possession thereafter does not affect title. Bear v Balthaser, 22
Berks 114 (1929).
While residency is not essential to constitute adverse possession, Stephens
v Leach, 19 Pa 262 (1852). Exclusive possession is a prerequisite to perfect title by
adverse possession. Possession need not be absolutely exclusive; it need only be
of a type of possession, which would characterize an owner's use. Lyons v
Andrews, 226 Pa Super 351, 313 A2d 313 (1973). Mowing and maintaining the
lawn for the requisite period of time is sufficient to establish title by adverse
possession.
A party that attempts to assert a claim of adverse possession and all the
elements of adverse possession are satisfied, then hostility will be implied.
Confrontation is not a necessary element. Schlagel v Lombardi, 337 Pa Super 83,
486 A2d 491(1984). The mistaken belief by the claimant that he owns a tract of
land does not mean that possession of the land is not hostile. Schla el supra.
In conclusion, we are of the position that your client is mistaken as to his
claim of ownership. However, in the unlikely event you are able to satisfy the
court as to ownership then your client still has no claim due to the adverse
possession issue.
Sincerely,
WPD:a

2008 Civil Term 4939
vs
Anne M. Cox Civil Action Law
.......................................................................................................Defendants Jury Trial Demanded
.............................:....................................... .....................................................:
Defendant's Motion for Post Trial Relief
AND NOW, comes the defendant, Anne M. Cox, by her attorney, William
P. Douglas, Esq., and hereby respectfully moves:
1. On April 27th, 2010, an Order of Court and Verdict were signed by the
Honorable Richard K. Renn, effectively removing a strip of land from the
property of the defendant. Measuring approximately 18.48 feet in width and
875.77 feet in length, this strip was first described as a lane 19 feet wide in a deed
granting a life estate to Clyde Barrick and his wife in 1933.
2. The defendant presented exhibit 11 at trial which contained the deed
history to the Cox tract of land and those documents established that all the
property, which is the subject of this suit, was owned by John S. Munro
beginning March 28, 1904 up until his death in 1907.
3. The defendant further established that all the property in question was
inherited by the heirs of John S. Munro. Said heirs continued to hold title to all
the property in question, and the unity of ownership continued, until 1920 when
the first transfer out was made.
4. The defendant testified that she located a pin which she believes marks
the northeast corner of her property and consistent therewith is a fence erected
by her neighbor on the eastern side of her property. There is no evidence of a
boundary dispute on the eastern side of her property.
5. The last names in the chain of ownership of the Cox tract are:
Munro
Munro heirs
McCoy
Morrison
Whitmer
Cox
6. The last names in the chain of ownership of the Keegan tract are:
Munro
Munro heirs
Barrick
Ahl
Presbyterian Church
Wiss
Stone
Pryzbyl
Keegan
7. The learned Trial Judge erred in Conclusion number 2 in not finding as a
matter of law that the facts as established at trial indicate that the title of Mrs.
Cox is senior to the title of the plaintiff which is junior due to the fact that the
Munro heirs conveyed to James McCoy (Cox chain) before the life estate to
Barrick was deeded out and the deed transfer of title to Ahl took place.
8. The plaintiff called Eric Diffenbaugh to testify in this matter.
9. Eric Diffenbaugh testified that he could not identify who placed any of the
metal objects he located to prepare his testimony and he further testified that he
did not locate any historic boundary markers. Diffenbaugh testified that he never
looked for any markers indicating what is the eastern boundary of the Cox
property. What Diffenbaugh did testify to was he looked at boundary markers of
unknown origin in the roadway and on the western side of the Keegan tract
which he used to determine where he thought the eastern boundary was located.
This is an insufficient factual basis upon which to formulate an opinion and the
learned Trial Judge erred in permitting him to testify as to the location of
boundaries and lanes.
10. Eric Diffenbaugh, when asked if he determined the location of the eastern
boundry line of the Cox property to which he responded that he did not care
and/or it did not matter what the location was. When asked if he did any
measurements from the marker depicting the eastern boundary line of the of the
19 foot lane and marker found by Mrs. Cox located at the northeast corner of the
Cox tract and he said he did not and it didn't matter what the width of the Cox
tract was for him to make his determination.
11. The plaintiff requested to the court to find that senior rights do not exist as
a conclusion of law which resulted in a error of law on the part of the learned
Trial Judge.
12. The plaintiffs misled the court into believing that the boundary lines of the
property of the defendant is not relevant to establish the location of the 19 foot
farm lane.
13. The first property to be transferred out of heirs of John Monroe
transferred property to James McCoy in 1920 and said deed was recorded on
October 21St 1920.
14. The plaintiffs further misled the court into believing that, historically, the
eastern boundary line of their property was a straight line when it had not been
since at least 1904 when John Munro purchased an additional 3 arcres adjoining
his farm. In reality the boundary line of the Monroe farm was not a straight line
but was rather made up of several segments described in the deeds of adjoining
property owners.
15. The learned trial judge erred, in permitting and accepting the testimony of
Eric Diffenbaugh as it was not credible. Due to the fact that the deeds out of the
Munro heirs to Barrick and Ahl clearly describe that the eastern boundary line as
being determined by the location of the boundaries of the adjoining properties
(which controls over course and distance contained in the Barrick and Ahl
Deeds) and due to the fact that specific reference is made to the property
conveyed to James McCoy as being one of those adjoining record boundary
markers. The plaintiffs must be bound by the junior position of their title chain
and cannot determine their own property boundary without first determining
the location of the McCoy/ Cox eastern boundary.
16. Mrs. Cox testified that she located a pin, of unknown origin, in the
northeast corner of her property and when measuring the northern boundary
line from the pin she located to the location of the marker in Exhibit 31, it is clear
that the marker located in exhibit 31 is the eastern side of the farm lane and 19
feet short of the property boundary described in her deed as being 9.5 perches.
17. It is the position of the plaintiff that the facts indicate that the 19 foot lane
was transferred to James McCoy in 1920 by the heirs of John Munro.
18. It is the position of the defendant that her property line is what has been
described as the western side of a 19 foot lane.
20. Diffenbaugh testified that he did know who placed the markers he found
in his effort to determine the boundary of the Keegan property.
21. In is the position of defendant Cox, that the property of James McCoy
(Cox predecessor) is a record monument to the property sold to Ahl (Keegan
predecessor) and a call in legal description to adjoining property owners takes
precedence over metes and bounds.
22. All property transferred to the predecessors of Keegan after 1920 were
consistently described as beginning at a point on the western boundary of a 19
foot lane and in said legal description never was it claimed that they owned
anything east of said western boundary.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Order and Verdict
dated April 27, 2010 be modified and/or vacated and a new trial granted, and/or
the Court reconsider, rehear and/or permit reagrument to determine the true
boundaries in this case and/or an Order be enter in favor of Mrs. Cox that she is
the owner of the 19 foot lane.

Defendant's Statement of Matters
Complained of on Appeal Pursuant to
Pa.R.A.P.1925(b)
AND NOW, comes the defendant, Anne M. Cox, by her attorney, William
P. Douglas, Esq., and hereby respectfully presents:
1. On April 27`h, 2010, an Order of Court and. Verdict were signed by the
Honorable Richard K. Renn, effectively removing a strip of land from the
property of the defendant. Measuring approximately 18.48 feet in width and
875.77 feet in length, this strip was first described as a lane 19 feet wide in a deed
granting a life estate to Clyde Barrick and his wife in 1933.
2. The defendant presented Exhibit 11 at trial which contained the deed
history to the Cox tract of land and those documents established that all the
property, which is the subject of this suit, was owned by John S. Munro
beginning March 28, 1904 up until his death in 1907.
3. The defendant further established that all the property in question was
inherited by the heirs of John S. Munro. Said heirs continued to hold title to all
r
the property in question, and the unity of ownership continued, until 1920 when
the first transfer out was made.
4. The defendant testified that she located a pin which she believes marks
the northeast corner of her property and consistent therewith is a fence erected
by her neighbor on the eastern side of her property. There is no evidence of a
boundary dispute on the eastern side of her property.
5. The last names in the chain of ownership of the Cox tract are:
Munro
Munro heirs
McCoy
Morrison
Whitmer
Cox
6. The last names in the chain of ownership of the Keegan tract are:
Munro
Munro heirs
Barrick
Ahl
Presbyterian Church
Wiss
Stone
Pryzbyl
Keegan
7. The learned Trial Judge erred in Conclusion number 2 in not finding as a
matter of law that the facts as established at trial indicate that the title of Mrs.
Cox is senior to the title of the plaintiff which is junior due to the fact that the
Munro heirs conveyed to James McCoy (Cox chain) before the life estate to
Barrick was deeded out and the deed transfer of title to Ahl took place.
8. The plaintiff called Eric Diffenbaugh to testify in this matter.
9. Eric Diffenbaugh testified that he could not identify who placed any of the
metal objects he located to prepare his testimony and he further testified that he
did not locate any historic boundary markers. Diffenbaugh testified that he never
looked for any markers indicating what is the eastern boundary of the Cox
property. What Diffenbaugh did testify to was he looked at boundary markers of
unknown origin in the roadway and on the western side of the Keegan tract
which he used to determine where he thought the eastern boundary was located.
This is an insufficient factual basis upon which to formulate an opinion and the
learned Trial Judge erred in permitting him to testify as to the location of
boundaries and lanes.
. r , .
10. Eric Diffenbaugh, failed to determine the location of the boundary lines of
the senior transfer of the Munro heirs (Cox title chain) which is necessarv to
locate the junior transfer's (keegans title chain) property line separating the two
parcels.
11. The plaintiff requested to the court to find that senior rights do not exist as
a conclusion of law which resulted in a error of law on the part of the learned
Trial Judge.
12. The plaintiffs misled the court into believing that the boundary lines of the
property of the defendant is not relevant to establish the location of the 19 foot
farm lane when in fact it is critical and the proof offer is inconsistent i.e. is the
lane in question 8 feet or 19 feet in width and where is it located.
13. The first property to be transferred out of heirs of John Monroe
transferred property to James McCoy in 1920 and said deed was recorded on
October 215` 1920.
14. The plaintiffs further misled the court into believing that, historically, the
eastern boundary line of their property (keegan title chain) was a straight line
when it had not been since at least 1904 when John Munro purchased an
additional 3 acres adjoining his farm. In reality the boundary line of the Munro
farm was not a straight line but was rather made up of several segments
described in the deeds of adjoining property owners.
15. The learned trial judge erred, in permitting and accepting the testimony of
Eric Diffenbaugh as it was not credible. Due to the fact that the deeds out of the
Munro heirs to Barrick and Ahl clearly describe that the eastern boundary line as
being determined by the location of the boundaries of the adjoining properties
(which controls over course and distance contained in the Barrick and AN
Deeds) and due to the fact that specific reference is made to the property
conveyed to James McCoy as being one of those adjoining record boundary
markers. The plaintiffs must be bound by the junior position of their title chain
and cannot determine their own property boundary without first determining
the location of the McCoy/ Cox eastern boundary.
16. Mrs. Cox testified that she located a pin, of unknown origin, in the
northeast corner of her property and when measuring the northern boundary
line from the pin, she located to the location of the marker in Exhibit 31, it is clear
that the marker located in exhibit 31 is the eastern side of the farm lane and 19
feet short of the property boundary described in her deed as being 9.5 perches.
17. It is the position of the plaintiff that the facts indicate that the 19 foot lane
was transferred to James McCoy in 1920 by the heirs of John Munro.
18. It is the position of the defendant that her property line is what has been
described as the western side of a 19 foot lane or if the plaintiffs are to be
believed that her boundary line is 11 feet further west than found by the trial
judge.
19. Diffenbaugh testified that he did know who placed the markers he found
in his effort to determine the boundary of the Keegan property.
20. It is the position of defendant Cox, that the property of James McCov (Cox
predecessor) is a record monument to the property sold to Ahl (Keegan
predecessor) and a call in legal description to adjoining property owners takes
precedence over metes and bounds.
21. All property transferred to the predecessors of Keegan after 1920 were
consistently described as beginning at a point on the western boundary of a 19
foot lane and in said legal description never was it claimed that they owned
anything east of said western boundary of said lane.

Rule 1925 (a) STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF DECIT `'•' °
-? >
AND NOW this ) -7 day of September, 2010, this Court has
before it an appeal of our order entered on June 22, 2010 denying Defendant's
request for post-trial relief.
This case is docketed in Cumberland County and was heard in York County.
Notice of Appeal was docketed in Cumberland County on July 23, 2010. We
directed Appellant to file a Statement of Matters Complained of on Appeal by our
-1-
order dated July 27, 2010. Defendant's Statement of Matters Complained of on
Appeal ("Statement") was received in Cumberland County on August 26, 2010 and
received in York County on August 27, 2010.
Preliminarily we note that Defendant's Statement is nearly a duplicate of
Defendant's Motion for Post-Trial Relief. No opinion was entered in conjunction
with the Order of June 22, 2010, but oral argument was held on the post-trial
motion and the reasons for this court's decision can be found in the record,
specifically the Transcript of Proceedings of June 22, 2010, the Transcript of
Proceedings of April 15, 2010, and the Order of April 27, 2010. We write briefly to
address the issues raised in Defendant's Statement.
Factual and Procedural History:
This case arose from a dispute between neighbors over the ownership of a 19
foot wide farm lane("the lane"). Plaintiffs own approximately 29.7 acres known as
639 West Old York Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17015. (Joint
Stipulation of Facts). Defendant owns a contiguous tract of land east of Plaintiffs'
tract, consisting of approximately 3.045 acres and known as 631 West Old York
Road. (Joint Stipulation of Facts).
-2-
Defendant took title to her property from Rodney and Mary Witmer by deed
dated August 19, 1974. (Joint Stipulation of Facts). Plaintiffs took title on July 25,
2007 from Richard and Linda Przybyl. (Joint Stipulation of Facts). Plaintiffs and
Defendant contend that they own the lane that is the subject of this case.
Plaintiffs filed a Complaint in Cumberland County on August 18, 2008 to
quiet title to the lane. Defendant's Answer and New Matter was filed on September
23, 2008. Plaintiffs replied to the New Matter on October 16, 2008.
Plaintiffs filed a Praecipe to list the case for a non-jury trial on May 7, 2009
and a pre-trial conference was held in Cumberland County on June 16, 2009. At the
pre-trial conference, the Honorable Edward Guido informed counsel for the parties
of a friendship with one of Defendant's in-laws and advised that the case could be
reassigned if requested by one of the parties. Plaintiffs requested a reassignment by
Petition filed July 14, 2009. By Order of the Honorable Edgar B. Bayley of
Cumberland County, dated September 1, 2009, this judge was appointed to preside
over the matter.
A pre-trial conference was held on February 3, 2010 and trial was scheduled
for April 15, 2010 in York County. An Order was issued on April 27, 2010 finding
in favor of Plaintiffs and declaring the boundary line between the properties to be as
-3-
depicted on the Subdivision Plan prepared by Eugene Hockensmith dated February
3, 1983.
Defendant filed a Motion for Post-Trial Relief and brief in support on May 7,
2010. Defendant sought either a new trial, reconsideration, or an Order in favor of
Defendant. Plaintiffs filed a response to the Motion and oral argument was held on
June 22, 2010. By Order that same date, Defendant's request for post-trial relief was
denied. It is from this Order that Defendant appeals.
We discern two general issues in Defendant's Statement: 1) sufficiency of the
evidence to support the verdict, including issues raised regarding Plaintiffs' expert;
and 2) the legal issue of whether Defendant's title is "senior" to Plaintiffs' title and
the legal effect of that on this case.
Discussion:
Under Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 227. 1, any party may file a
motion for Post-Trial Relief after a trial. In this case Defendant filed a Motion
seeking either a new trial, reconsideration of the verdict, or a new verdict. Rule
227.1 provides that:
post-trial relief may not be granted unless the grounds
A,
therefor, (1) if then available, were raised in pre-trial
proceedings or by motion, objection, point for charge,
request for findings of fact or conclusions of law, offer of
proof or other appropriate method at trial, and(2) are
specified in the motion.
Pa. R.C.P. 227.1(b).
The decision to grant a new trial is within the discretion of the trial court.
Harman v. Borah, 756 A. 2d 1116, 1121 (Pa. 2000). When a party seeking a new
trial raises issues involving errors in the Court's findings and/or conclusions of law,
there is a two-step analysis the Court utilizes:
[f]irst, the trial court must decide whether one or more
mistakes occurred at trial. These mistakes might involve
factual, legal, or discretionary matters. Second, if the
trial court concludes that a mistake (or mistakes)
occurred, it must determine whether the mistake was a
sufficient basis for granting a new trial.
Donouge v. Lincoln Elec. Co., 936 A.2d 52, 68 (Pa. Super. 2007). Additionally, "[a]
new trial is not warranted merely because some irregularity occurred during the trial
or another trial judge would have ruled differently; the moving party must
demonstrate to the trial court that he or she has suffered prejudice from the
mistake." Id.
Concerning a weight of the evidence assertion, "[a] new trial based on
-5-
weight of the evidence issues will not be granted unless the verdict is so contrary to
the evidence as to shock one's sense of justice; a mere conflict in testimony will not
suffice as grounds for a new trial." Turney Media Fuel, Inc., 725 A.2d 836, 841 (Pa.
Super. 1999). The remedy for claims that evidence is insufficient to sustain a
decision of the trial court is generally a judgment notwithstanding the verdict.
Boutte v. Seitchik, 719 A.2d 319, 322 (Pa. Super. 1998) (quoting Lilley v. Johns-
Manville Corp., 596 A.2d 203, 206 (Pa. Super. 1991)).
Sufficiency of the Evidence
We denied Defendant's request for a new trial or new judgment on the basis
of insufficient evidence, because the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to
support the verdict in favor of Plaintiffs. The issue in this case was the location of a
boundary line between neighboring properties. Plaintiffs offered the testimony of an
expert witness to testify about the location of the boundary line. Defendant did not
have a survey completed of her property, nor have an expert testify about the
boundary line in dispute.
Eric Diffenbaugh is a professional land surveyor and testified that he did
deed research and a field survey to determine where the boundary lines of the
Keegan property lie. (Tr. 4115110 p. 6). We found his testimony credible and
-6-
consistent with the documentary evidence that was admitted.'
Defendant Cox testified about measuring the distance between two pins that
she found on her property. (Tr. 4/15/10 pp. 49-50). However, she also testified that
she did not know the origin of the pin in the northeast corner. (Tr. 4/15/10 pp. 61-
62). And she could not testify for certain, other than for the fact that her husband
planted trees in line with that pin, that the pin marked the corner of her property.
(Tr. 4/15/10 pp. 61-62).
Mr. Diffenbaugh also testified about the deed research that was conducted
and concluded that the lane was on the Keegan tract of land. (Tr. 4,/15/10 pp. 36-
37). We also found his testimony convincing as to the origin of the deeds and
descriptions at issue in this case. (Generally Tr. 4/15/10 pp. 9-30).
Defendant also avers that we erred in "permitting and accepting the
testimony of Eric Diffenbaugh as it was not credible." (Statement ¶ 15). Defendant
does not indicate where in the record an objection was made to allowing
Diffenbaugh to testify as an expert. To the contrary, the transcript reflects that
Defendant had an opportunity to question Mr. Diffenbaugh's qualifications and
In a non-jury trial, credibility determinations are the province of the trial judge. See,
e.g. Christian v. Yanoviak, 945 A.2d 220 (Pa. Super. 2008).
.7-
then did not object to his testifying as an expert in the area of land surveying. (Tr.
4/15/10 pp. 3-5). Accordingly we do not find that this issue was preserved for
appeal.
Error of law as to "senior rights" and its' legal effect
Defendant asserts that this court erred in concluding that in spite of the
unity of ownership that occurred at one time in the history of the deeds, the tracts
remained separate and distinct so as not to create senior and junior rights.
We did not find the case law submitted by Defendant to be persuasive in this
case. The evidence in this case established that while Monroe may have owned
both the Keegan tract and the Cox tract at the same time, Monroe did not alter the
Cox tract when he deeded it to its new owners. The case law on this issue indicates
that senior rights would come into play when two parcels are taken from one larger
tract. See e.g. Thompson v. Kauffelt, 1 A. 267 (Pa. 1885); Murrer v. American Oil
Co., 359 A.2d 817 (Pa. Super. 1976). When one parcels out a larger tract into
smaller tracts, then the first piece transferred becomes superior to the next ones, so
that "the lines of the [later transferred lot] will not only yield to but will extend up
the lines of the [first transferred lot]." Thompson at 268. The facts of this case are
-g,
distinguishable because the Keegan tract and the Cox tract were not part of one
larger tract, but were merely owned by the same person for a short while.
Additionally case law exists that supports the theory that an easement is
destroyed when the dominant and servient lands come into the ownership of one
person because a person cannot have an easement in his own land. Schwoyer v.
Smith, 131 A.2d 385 (Pa. 1957). However this does not apply to the facts of this
case, although there was mention in the testimony of rights to use the lane. (Tr.
4/15/10 pp. 25-26). An easement was never argued by either of the parties.
Conclusion:
The evidentiary and testimonial evidence presented in this case supports the
findings and conclusions in the Order of April 27, 2010, and therefore, post-trial
relief was properly denied.
We direct that a copy of this Statement shall be sent to counsel for the
parties.
