MUMMA, CUMBERLAND COUNT~c', PENNSYLVANIA Deceased ORPHAN'S COURT DIVISION ~~ ~ ~,-, ;-` N0.21-86-398 ?`~ ~ -~. ~_'-~ N -~, MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION '' -_° _ J, _ ; _~ OF THE ORPHAN'S COURT ORDER DATED NOVEMBER 4 2008 -~ AND NOW, comes Robert M. Mumma, II, pro se, who files the instant motion for reconsideration of the Orphans' Court Order dated November 4, 2008, ar~d in support thereof avers as follows: 1. On August 22, 2008, the undersigned Movant filed a Motion for Disqualification of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius ("MLB" hereinafter) and The Martson. Law Office ("Martson" hereinafter) from Continuing Legal Representation of the Estate and the Trusts. 2. Said motion for disqualification of Estate counsel set forth severa key averments which can be summarized succinctly as follows: (a) While a client of MLB, the undersigned was given legal advice with respect to a disclaimer and its impact on his interests and his minor children's interests. After the undersigned had signed a single copy of the disclaimer and returned it to MLB with express written instructions to deliver same only to Lisa Morgan, MLB then hired Martson to file it with the court. In spite of the revocation thereof which has been twice-endorsed by this Orphans' Court, both MLB and Martson have continually relied upon the filing of said disclaimer in support of various legal arguments proclaiming that the undersigned is without standing. Additionally, both of the said firms have otherwise used the disclaimer in the construction of various legal positions adverse to the undersigned's interests as a beneficiary of the Estate and the Trusts. ~i~ (b) Attorneys of both firms (Joseph O'Connor, Esquire and William F. Martson, Esquire) have already been witnesses in these proceedings. According to the court's observations at a hearing in this Estate case conducted on August 18, 2008 hearing, there is a great likelihood that each of these two attorneys wild appear again to testify at upcoming hearings or a trial. (c) MLB and Martson filed a response to the undersigned's motion to vacate the appointment of Attorney Andrews as auditor which denied the majority of the averments in said motion to vacate and which sought to have 'the motion denied by the court. Hence, the Estate counsel contested the undersigned's efforts to remove the Auditor, notwithstanding the fact that the Auditor himself later admitted that his failures and his neglect in his court-ordered duties as auditor c;aused excessive and inexcusable delay. Such delay is related to the depletion, prejudice, and frustration of the beneficiaries interests in the Estate and the Trusts. (d) Over the past 22 year history of this case, MLB and Manson leave pursued a deliberate course of action devised to deplete, prejudice, and frustrate the interests of the beneficiaries of the Estate and the Trusts, notwithstanding said Estate counsels' legal and fiduciary duties owed to and for the benefit of said beneficiaries. (e) Specifically, MLB and Martson have allied themselves with the Executrices / Trustees and orchestrated a manipulation of the 5% withdrawal rights under the Marital Trust in a manner designed to deplete, prejudice, and frustrate the interests of the beneficiaries of the Estate and the Trusts, notwithstanding said Estate counsels' legal and fiduciary duties owed to and for the benefit of said beneficiaries. (f) As a result of their legal counsel to the Executrices/Trustees concerning the acquisition and disposition of various assets, interests, and property allegedly belonging to the Estate, as well as the Executrices/Trustees' subsequent actions taken with respect thereto in spite of the contested nature of any right to claim same as an Estate asset, MLB and Martson have caused the interests of the beneficiaries of the Estate and the Trusts to be converted and prejudiced notwithstanding the legal and fiduciary duties owed to and for the benefit of said beneficiaries. 3. On August 28, 2008, the Orphan's Court issued the following Order: AND NOW, this 28th day of August, 2008, upon consideration of the Motion to Disqualify Morgan, Lewis & Bockius and the Martson Law Office from Continuing Legal Representation of the Estate and the Trusts, it is ordered that: 1. A Rule is issued upon all interested parties and the said law firms to show cause why Movant is not entitled to the relief requested; 2. Answers to the motion shall be filed within 21 days of the date of this order; 3. The petition shall be decided under Pa. R.C.P. 206.7; 4. Depositions shall be completed within 49 days of the date of this order; 5. Argument shall be held on Wednesday, December 17, 2008, at 11:00 a.m., in Courtroom No. 1, Cumberland County Courthouse, Carlisle, Pennsylvania. 6. Briefs shall be submitted at least seven days prior to argument. 7. Pending argument and further order of court, neither law firm is prohibited from continuing its representation of record herein. BY THE COURT, J. Wesley Oler, Jr., J. 4. On September 18, 2008, Barbara McK. Mumma and Lisa M. Morgan filed an Answer and New Matter. t Said New Matter cites a prior motion filed in January 1989 which sought to disqualify MLB from acting as counsel for Mrs. Mumma and Mrs. Morgan. Said New Matter further cites the opinion issued by Judge Sheely on February 13, 1989. 5. On October 7, 2008, the undersigned filed a Reply to the New Matter which asserted, inter alia, that (i) the pending motion to disqualify Estate counsel extends to both MLB and Martson (not just MLB as was the case in 1989); (ii) Judge Sheely specifically left the door open to file future motions to disqualify the Estate counsel (see, i.e., Paragraph 62 of the Reply); and, (iii) the pending motion to disqualify MLB and Martson seeks to address Estate issues that have transpired in the 19 year interim between the filing of the aforesaid January 1989 motion and the pending motion. 6. Following the filing of the aforesaid Answer and New Matter, the undersigned served subpoenas and notices of deposition upon Lisa M. Morgan, Joseph A. O'Connor, Jr., Esquire, and Harry G. Lake, Jr. Said subpoenas and notices of deposition were sent to all three of the proposed deponents on September 30, 2008. 1 Despite the instructions in Paragraph # 1 of Judge Oler's Order of August 28, 2008, neither of "the said law firms" responded to the rule returnable to show cause why Movant is not entitled to the relief requested. Likewise, neither of "the said law firms" filed an answer to the motion within 21 days of the order. On November 21, 2008, the undersigned filed an appropriate motion under Pa. R.C.P. 206.7(a) with respect to the failure of MLB and Manson to respond as ordered by Judge Oler's Order of August 28, 2008. 7. Following service of the subpoenas and the notices of deposition, all three of the proposed deponents objected through their respective counsel by filing motions (i.e., motions for protective orders and/or motions to quash the subpoenas). 8. On October 6, 2008, counsel for Lisa M. Morgan filed an Emergency Motion for a Protective Order. 9. On October 8, 2008, Judge Oler issued an Order which directed the undersigned to file a rule returnable to show cause why Lisa M. Morgan's motion should not be granted within 14 days. 10. On October 9, 2008, the undersigned filed an Emergency Response to Lisa M. Morgan's motion. On October 17, the undersigned filed a Response to Lisa, M. Morgan's motion. Paragraph 16 of said Responses cited Pa. R.C.P. 4007.1(c) which provides that a party who notices a deposition of a witness is not required to divulge bf;forehand the purpose of the deposition and the matters to be inquired into. l l . On November 4, 2008, Judge Oler issued an Order which granted Lisa M. Morgan's Emergency Motion for a Protective Order. Within said Order, Judge Oler enunciated three reasons for granting said motion and for cancelling her deposition: (a) that the undersigned failed to attend a noticed deposition of Lisa M. Morgan in the past; (b) that Mrs. Morgan has previously testified on the subject of the disqualification of MLB; and, (c) that the undersigned has declined in his Response to provide any basis for a conclusion that further testimony by Mrs. Morgan at this time would advance the inquiry as to disqualification. 12. The instant Motion for Reconsideration is filed in an effort to persuade Judge Oler to reconsider his decision which has foreclosed the undersigned from taking the deposition of Lisa M. Morgan at this time. As addressed hereinbelow, persuasive reasons for reconsideration include, but are not limited to, the following: (a) the crucial distinctions between the pending disqualification motion and the 1989 motion; (b) the fundamental fact that 19 years have elapsed with its concomitant history of various and diverse Estate transactions undertaken by the said two law firms during said interim; (c) the status-changing role played by this Court's Orcier of August 28, 2008 and its invocation of Pa. R.C.P. 206.7; (d) key misapprehensions by Judge Oler as to the nature and identity of the principal figures implicated by the pending motion. for disqualification of Estate counsel; and, (e) the impact of the vacation of the appointment of Attorney Andrews as Auditor following the hearing on August 18, 2008 wherein Attorney Andrews admitted that he was responsible for neglect and delay, notwithstanding the fact that Estate counsel filed pleadings and otherwise contested the undersigned's said motion to vacate. FIRST REASON SPECIFIED IN THE NOVEMBER 4.2008 ORDER: "THAT ROBERT M. MUMMA, II, HAS FAILED TO ATTEND A NOTICED DEPOSITION OF LISA M. MORGAN IN THE PAST" 13. This court should reconsider the first of the three reasons stated for granting the Emergency Motion for a Protective Order which determined that Lisa M. Morgan's deposition would be cancelled because the undersigned failed to attend a noticed deposition of her in the past. The undersigned was unable to attend the November 12, 2007 deposition of her in Florida due to a longstanding scheduling conflict that was fully disclosed to the Estate counsel, yet the Estate counsel proceeded with the noticed deposition in spite of the undersigned's unavailability on said date. 14. The court should further consider this reason for granting the Emergency Motion given that the purpose of the November 12, 2007 deposition and the matters to be inquired into at that time are not related to the testimony sought from Lisa M. Morgan with respect to the pending motion to disqualify Estate counsel at this time. The November 12, 2007 deposition was noticed as a result of Judge Oler's Order of October 3, 2007, at which time the Estate proceedings rested in the hands of Auditor Andrews. The instant motion to disqualify Estate counsel followed the August 18, 2008 hearing and the Order of the same date. Much of the testimony at said hearing was focused on the delay, neglect, and mismanagement of the Estate proceedings, including 24 motions and other filings that had been ignored over the span of the past few years. The undersigned's motion to disqualify Estate counsel followed the August 18, 2008 hearing; ;fudge Oler's subsequent Order of August 28, 2008 expressly remedied the situation by citing Pa. R.C.P. 206.7 which expressly provides for the taking of depositions in resolving those disputed issues of material fact raised in the petition and answer. Therefore, whatever was the purpose of the November 12, 2007 deposition of Lisa M. Morgan in Florida is irrelevant in light of the subsequent events, hearings, and orders; even more so, the fact that a past deposition was scheduled and unattended is equally irrelevant given this Coiut's express invocation of the procedures of Pa. R.C.P. 206.7 in its August 28, 2008 Order. Hence, by operation of said rule, the undersigned is entitled to take the deposition of Lisa M. Morgan at this time to address those disputed issues of material fact raised in the answer. See, Pa. R.C.P. 206.7(c). SECOND REASON SPECIFIED IN THE NOVEMBER 4.2008 ORDER: "THAT MS. MORGAN HAS PREVIOUSLY TESTIFIED ON THE SUBJECT OF THE DISQUALIFICATION OF MORGAN, LEWIS & BOCKIUS " 15. This court should reconsider the second of the three reasons stated for granting the Emergency Motion for a Protective Order which determined that :Lisa M. Morgan's deposition would be cancelled because she had previously testified as to the disqualification of MLB. First and foremost, Judge Oler has misapprehended the nature or identity of the principal figures inasmuch as his November 4, x!008 Order only includes MLB, without any mention whatsoever of the Martson farm. The pending motion to disqualify Estate counsel expressly includes both MLB and Martson. Obviously, this is a distinction with a great difference. Nonetheless, the reasons specified in Judge Oler's Order of November 4, 2008 reference MLB and MLB only. 16. In light of its focus on Ms. Morgan's `prior testimony', Judge Oler's Order of November 4, 2008 fails to appreciate two fundamental dissimilarities between the pending motion and the proceedings in 1989. Not only has Judge Oler misapprehended the fact that the pending motion seeks to disqualify both of the said two law firms'. (and not just MLB as was the case in 1989), but the 1989 motion sought to disqualify IVZLB from representing Lisa M. Morgan and Barbara McK. Mumma. Quite to the contrary, the pending motion seeks to disqualify MLB and Martson from continuing legal representation of the Estate and the Trusts. Obviously, this is a distinction with a great difference. Nonetheless, the second reason specified in Judge Oler's Order of November 4, 2008 which concerns Ms. Morgan's prior testimony in 1989 involving MLB's representation of her individually does not appreciate the fact that the pending motion seeks to disqualify MLB and Martson from continuing legal representation of the Estate and the Trusts. 17. In reconsideration, the court should further take notice that Judge Oler's Order of November 4, 2008 specified that Lisa M. Morgan had testified prE:viously on the subject of the disqualification of MLB, with said Order further noting that it had considered the Emergency Motion. With respect to said `prior testimony' of Ms. Morgan, the Emergency Motion cites her testimony at a hearing on January 25, 1989. See, Paragraph #14 of the Emergency Motion (also incorporating their Answer and New Matter). Said hearing transcript from January 25, 1989 is attached as Exhibit B to said Answer and New Matter. According to said Exhibit B, this `prior testimony' of Ms. Morgan purportedly on the subject of the disqualification of MLB in 1989 appears in a transcript for the matter encaptioned: "Barbara McK. Mumma and Lisa M. Morgan, individually and as executrixes of estate of Robert M. Mumma, deceased, Plaintiffs v. Robert M. Mumma, II, Defendant".2 Said `prior testimony' on this subject is actually no more than a mere 11 pages of Ms. Morgan testifying on matters that concern the initial selection of MLB as legal counsel, as well as other matters which involved hear participation as an associate attorney at MLB, and the role of other MLB attorneys and their various interactions with the Mumma family in the 1986 to 1989 time pe~~iod. 18. In reconsideration, the court should further take notice that none of this 11 pages of so- called `prior testimony on this subject' which was specified as the second reason in Judge Oler's Order of November 4, 2008 should be seen as foreclosing her deposition testimony at this time in light of the fundamental fact that 19 years has elapsed with its concomitant history of various and diverse Estate transactions undertaken by the said two law firms during said interim. Obviously, the pending motion to disqualify both MLB and Manson from continuing legal representation of the Estate and the Trusts raises vastly different issues than the `initial selection of MLB as counsel' issue as was the main subject of her 11-pages of prior testimony in January 1989. ` Other than the 11 pages appearing on pp. 136-147 of the January 25, 1989 hearing transcript in said captioned matter, no other `prior testimony' on the subject of disqualification oi'Estate counsel from Lisa M. Morgan has been attached as an Exhibit to the Executrices' Motions or Answer and New Matter. THIRD REASON SPECIFIED IN THE NOVEMBER 4.200$ ORDER: "THAT ROBERT M. MUMMA, II, HAS DECLINED IN HIS RESPONSE TO THE MOTION TO PROVIDE ANY BASIS FOR A CONCLUSION THAT FURTHER TESTIMONY BY MS. MORGAN AT THIS TIME WOULD ADVANCE THE INQUIRY AS TO DISQUALIFICATION" 19. 'This court should reconsider the third and final reason stated for granting the Emergency Motion for a Protective Order which determined that Lisa M. Margan's deposition would be cancelled because the undersigned's Response did not provide: a basis to conclude that further testimony by Ms. Morgan at this time would advance the inquiry as to disqualification. First and foremost, Judge Oler's reference in said third reason to "further testimony by Ms. Morgan" must be reconsidered in light of Pazagraphs #17 and #18 hereinabove regazding the actual limited nature of her prior testimony back in 1989. 20. In reconsideration, the court should take notice that Judge Oler's use of the phrase "at this time" must be reexamined in light of the fact that the pending motion to disqualify MLB and Manson seeks to address Estate issues that have transpired in the 19 year history since Ms. Morgan provided her 11-pages of testimony in 1989 which centered upon the initial selection of MLB as counsel. The fact that 19 yeazs have elapsed with a history of various and diverse Estate transactions undertaken by the said two law firms during said time period is certainly a compelling reason to reconsider the difference between her limited testimony in 1989 and how `further testimony' at this time is warranted with respect to the pending motion. After all, Lisa M. Morgan is uniquely qualified as a Co-Executrix and Co-Trustee to respond to the issues raised in the pending motion to disqualify MLB and Maztson from continuing legal representation of the Estate and the Trusts at this time, especially those issues where she mai~itains legal and fiduciary obligations to the beneficiaries. Hence, the phrase "at this time" as chosen by Judge Oler is actually more indicative of a persuasive reason to permit her deposition to proceed at this time as compared to 1989. 21. In reconsideration, the court should take notice that Judge Oler's use of the phrase "at this time" must be reconsidered in light of the fact that the pending motion to disqualify MLB and Martson from continuing legal representation of the Estate and the Trusts followed the August 18, 2008 hearing and the Order of the same date. Much of the testimony at said hearing was focused on the delay, neglect, and mismanagement of the Estate proceedings, including 24 motions and other filings that had been ignored over the span of the past few years. The pending motion to disqualify Estate counsel followed the August 18, 2008 hearing. Judge Oler's subsequent Order of August 28, 2008 cites Pa. R.C.P. 206.7 which expressly provides for the taking of depositions in resolving those disputed issues of material fact raised in the petition and answer. See, Pa. R.C.P. 206.7(c). In other words, Ms. Morgan's deposition must proceed at this time given the outcome of the August 18, 2008 hearing and the express terms of'the August 28, 2008 Order. 22. In reconsideration, the court should take notice that the phrase "at this time" as chosen by Judge Oler is actually more indicative of a persuasive reason to permit her deposition to proceed at this time as compared to the status quo that had reigned prior to the vacation of Attorney Andrews as Auditor with its attendant mismanagement and neglect. 23. In reconsideration, the court should further take notice that Judge Oler's third and final reason suggests that the undersigned's Response "declined" to provide a basis for her testimony. However, it cannot be overlooked that said Response ;asserts several times the status-changing consequences that stem from the August 18, 2008 hearing, the reasons why the appointment of Attorney Andrews as Auditor was vacated, and this Court's subsequent orders. Likewise, said Response asserted that the hearing in January 1989 and the subsequent opinion in 1989 were inapplicable as same co~~ld not conceivably govern the broader and far-greater considerations raised by the pending motion, with the most-weighty reason being the passage of 19 years of history of E;state administration, along with other cogent reasons as set forth herein and in the Response. 24. In reconsideration, the court should further take notice that Paragraph #19 of the Response cited Pa. R.C.P. 206.7; said paragraph fully acknowledged that any testimony to be elicited from Ms. Morgan at a deposition would be limited to the specific matters and subjects encompassed by the petition and answer. 25. In reconsideration, the court should further take notice that the third and final reason provided in Judge Oler's Order of November 4, 2008 should be reconsidered in light of the fact that the pending motion to disqualify specifically raises the claim that MLB and Martson have allied themselves with the Executrices /Trustees anal orchestrated a manipulation of the 5% withdrawal rights under the Marital Trust in a manner designed to deplete, prejudice, and frustrate the interests of the beneficiaries of the Estate and the Trusts, notwithstanding said Estate counsels' legal and fiduciary duties owed to and for the benefit of said beneficiaries. Certainly this position is not indicative of `declining' to provide a basis to conclude that Ms. Morgan's deposition testimony would advance the inquiry as to disqualification, 26. In reconsideration, the court should further take notice that a central argument advanced in seeking the disqualification of MLB and Martson concerns the acquisition of and disposition of various assets, interests, and property allegedly belonging to the Estate, and subsequent actions taken with respect thereto by the Executrices /Trustees in spite of the contested nature of any right to claim same as an Estate asset. It is reasonably believed that Lisa M. Morgan's deposition testimony would be relevant, probative, and material with respect to this particular aspect of the pending motion at this time in light of the pending motion to disqualify Estate counsel as amplified by the cogent reasons set forth herein (as well as those reasons set forth in the Responses previously filed by the undersigned on October 9, 2008 and October 17, 2008). 27. Specifically with respect to this particular aspect of the pending disqualification motion, it is believed that Lisa M. Morgan's deposition testimony would be relevant, probative, and material with respect to questions pertaining to the Estate and the Trusts' need for duplicative representation by two azea law firms.3 Not only has the undersigned raised this point, but similar protestations were raised by other beneficiaries at the August 18, ' Indeed, multiple appearances by counsel in matters involving representation of the Estate and the Trusts is exemplified by the recent appearance of three (3) attorneys at the deposition of one witness: Brady Green, Esquire of MLB, Jennifer Spears, Esquire of the Martson firm, and Keitli Brenneman, Esquire all attended the deposition of Joseph O'Connor, Esquire on October 27, 2008 in Lemoyne, Pennsylvania. Questions posed to counsel at said depasition as to who was paying their respective counsel fees were not answered. 2008 hearing before Judge Oler. Both Linda Mumma Roth and Barbara M. Mumma expressed concern as to the identity of Estate counsel and/or the manner in which said Estate counsel was representing (or not representing) the interests of the beneficiaries. 28. Inasmuch as Judge Oler's Order of November 4, 2008 has specified three distinct reasons for cancelling the deposition of Lisa M. Morgan, the instant motion for reconsideration has not revisited any other issues which were raised in the Emergency Motion that may or may not necessarily be embraced within the ambit of Judge Oler's three specific reasons. 29. Pa. R.C.P. 4007.1(c) provides that a party who notices a deposition of a witness is not required to divulge beforehand the purpose of the deposition and 'the matters to be inquired into. 30. Generally, discovery is to be liberally allowed with respect to any matter, not privileged, which is relevant to the cause being tried. PECO Energy Co. v. INA, 852 A.2d 1230 (Pa. Super. 2004). 31. The purpose of the discovery rules is to prevent surprise and unfairness and to allow a fair trial on the merits. McGovern v. Hosp. Service Ass'n., 785 A,.2d 1012 (Pa. Super. 2001); see also, Stern v. Vic Snyder, Inc., 473 A.2d 139 (Pa. Super. 1984) (courts are to insure adequate discovering of matters allowed by the Rules of Civil Procedure). 32. Court orders which restrict or prohibit discovery constitute state ;~.ction which is subject to constitutional limitations. Stenger v. Lehi Vallev Hosp., 609 A.2d 796, 801, n. 8 (Pa. 1992) (citing Seattle Times Co. v. Rhinehart, 467 U.S. 20, 1C14 S. Ct. 2199, 81 L. Ed.2d 17 (1984)). 33. The deposition to be taken of Lisa M. Morgan is not sought in bad faith, is not violative of any of the other proscriptions set forth in Pa. R.C.P. 4011, and would be limited to matters of disputed issues of material fact in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. 206.7(c). 34. The deposition to be taken of Lisa M. Morgan is permitted by Pa. 4003.1(a) which provides that a party may obtain discovery regarding any matter, :not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action, whether it relates to the claim or defense of the party seeking discovery or to the claim or defense of any other party, including the existence, description, nature, content, custody, condition and location of any books, documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable matter. 35. The undersigned has not obtained the concurrence of counsel to the other interested parties inasmuch as the prior statements and representations of said counsel have indicated that the undersigned would not receive cooperation from them with respect to such a motion for reconsideration. 36. The Honorable J. Wesley Oler, Jr., has previously ruled on prior motions filed in this case. WHEREFORE, based upon the cogent, persuasive, and compelling reasons addressed hereinabove, the undersigned respectfully requests that this Honorable Court reconsider its Order of November 4, 2008, and that this Court issue an appropriate order which permits the deposition of Lisa M. Morgan to proceed at this time. Without such reconsideration, the undersigned will be unable to comply with this C;ourt's Order dated August 28, 2008. The proposed Order submitted with the instant motion for reconsideration provides for the insertion of any limitations which this Court may feel are warranted with respect to taking her deposition.
