attorneys, Summers, McDonnell, Hudock, Guthrie & Skeel, P.C., and Kevin D. Rauch,
Esquire, and files this Motion to Compel Compliance with Subpoena, and in support

1. This case arises out of a motor vehicle accident which occurred on August
16, 2007, and which the Plaintiff, Adam E. Norman alleges to have caused injuries.
2. On April 22, 2010, in accordance with Pa.R.C.P. 234.2, the Defendant

3. The subpoena requested medical records, films, and a list of all available
films regarding the Plaintiff, Adam E. Norman. (A copy of the subpoena is attached as
exhibit "B").
4. As of the date of this filing, Dr. Miller's office has not provided a certificate
of compliance nor has it provided the requested documents or films.
5. Pa.R.C.P. 4009.23 states that the "person not a party upon whom the

of compliance and deliver it with the documents or things produced to the party serving
the subpoena within twenty days of service."
6. Pursuant to Pa R.C.P. 4009.23, Dr. Miller's office was required to produce
a certificate of compliance and the requested records, films, and film lists by May 12,

has been served should "fail to produce the documents or things required by [the]
subpoena within twenty (20) days after its service, the party serving [the] subpoena may
seek a court order compelling [the person upon whom the subpoena has been served]
to comply with it."
8. 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

10. Judge Albert H. Masland has ruled on a prior Motion to Compel Discovery

WHEREFORE, the Defendant, Jena L. Milakovic, respectfully requests this

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
