Accordingly, pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 4009.26, the Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court issue an Order compelling Dr. Miller's office to comply with the subpoena at issue within twenty (20) days or face such sanctions as the Court sees fit, including an assessment of reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Defendant in pursuing compliance with the subpoena. 9.

ADAM E. NORVAN vs Case No. 09-2104 Statement of Intention to Proceed CM J To the Court: Zt (S Plainti1f, Adam E Non-nan intends to proaiththe above cap.!�maRter. z. 1-1 PrintName Karl J. Januzzi , Esq. Sign Name < C,10 Date: 9/4/13 Attorney for Pli nt i f f Explanatory Comment The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has promulgated new Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 governing the termination of inactive cases and amended Rule of Judicial Administration 1901. Two aspects of the recommendation merit 1.Rule ofcivil Procedure New Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 has been promulgated to govern the termination of inactive cases within the scope of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. The termination of these cases for inactivity was previously governed by Rule of Judicial Administration 1901 and local rules promulgated pursuant to it. New Rule 230.2 is tailored to the needs of civil actions. It provides a complete procedure and a uniform statewide practice, preempting local rules. This rule was promulgated in response to the decision of the Supreme Court in Shop v.Eagle,551 Pa.360,710 A2d 1104 (1998) in which the court held that "prejudice to the defendant as a result of delay in prosecution is required before a case may be dismissed pursuant to local rules implementing Rule of Judicial Administration 1901." Rule of Judicial Administration 1901(b)has been amended to accommodate the new rule of civil procedure. The general policy of the prompt disposition of matters set forth in subdivision(a)of that rule continues to be applicable. 11 Inactive Cases purpose of R The court. After giving notice nfintent to an action m�u .�8 the v �o[O the is with the parties. If the parties do not wish to pursue the case, they will take no action and"the Prothonotary shall enter an order as of course terminating the matter with pnjudioc for failure topr000c,m." lfa party wishes m pursue the matter,heorshe will fi|eu notice of intention m proceed and the action shall continue. u. Where the action has been terminated If the action is tonoioutod when u yuny believes that it should not have been tonniomed. that party may pmoccd under 8u|e230(d)for relief from the order oftermination. Au example of such mu occurrence might he the termination of a viable action when the aggrieved party did not receive the notice of intent to terminate and thus did not timely file the notice of intention mproceed. The timing ofthe fi]ingvf the petition m reinstate the action ioimportant. lf the petition iofiiud within thirty days o[ the entry vf the order of termination om the docket,subdivision(d)(2)provides that the court must grant the petition and reinstate the action. If the petition iafilmd later than the thirty-day period,subdivision(d)(3)requires that the plaintiff must make m showing mthe court that the petition was promptly filed and that there is vreasonohlw explanation or legitimate excuse both for the 8d|po to fi|o the ondcc of iomm,ioo to proceed prior to the entry of the undo, of termination ou the docket and for the failure mfi|n the petition within the thirty-day pedodu"derxvhdi,isiuu(d)p>. B. Where the action has not been terminated ao action which has not been terminated but which continues upon the fihngufu notice of intention to proceed may have been the subject ofinordinate delay. In such an >ooumou' the aggrieved party may pursue the remedy of common law non pros which exits independently of termination under Rule 23O1
