AND NOW COMES, Defendant Interstate Hotels and Resorts, Inc. ("Interstate"), by and
through its attorneys, Hendrzak & Lloyd, hereby moves for summary judgment and in support,
avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff initiated this action by a Writ of Summons filed on May 28, 2009. On
October 7, 2009, Plaintiff filed a Complaint alleging she suffered personal injuries on May 28,
2007 while a guest at the Wyndham Hotel in Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania. A true
and correct copy of the Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2. Plaintiff alleged that she attempted to sit on a device that pulled down from the

the device allegedly pulled out from the wall. See A, ¶ 8.
3. Plaintiff alleged that the Defendants collectively "knew or should have known
that the seat, as designed and installed, was not adequate for the intended use...." See A, ¶ 10.
4. Defendant Interstate filed an Answer with New Matter on November 2, 2009
essentially denying all allegations. In addition, Interstate answered the Complaint stating that
Interstate, through one of its affiliates, provided management services at the hotel in question,
beginning on or about January 14, 2008. A true and correct copy of Interstate's Answer with
New Matter is attached hereto as Exhibit B. See B., ¶¶ 7,10, and 11.
5. In its New Matter, Interstate pled the following: "[d]efendant Interstate Hotels &
Resorts, Inc., through one of its affiliates, provided management services to the hotel beginning
on January 14, 2008 and did not provide any services at the time of Plaintiffs alleged accident."
See B., ¶ 26.
6. The Answer with New Matter was verified by Sherri Johnson, Corporate Director
of Claims, for Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc. See B.
7. Despite the Answer with New Matter being endorsed with a "Notice to Plead",
Plaintiff has not filed any Reply pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1026.
8. Because Plaintiff did not file any responsive pleading, the factual averments are
deemed admitted pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1029(b).
9. Defendant Interstate seeks summary judgment on the basis that it had no
involvement with the property at the time of Plaintiff s alleged accident.
10. Nonparty, Interstate Management Company, LLC is an affiliate of Defendant
Interstate.
3
11. Nonparty Interstate Management Company, LLC entered into a Hotel
Management Agreement on January 14, 2008 with Gateway Gettysburg HoteUconference Center
Partners, L.P. who owned the property. A true and correct copy of the first page of the
agreement and the two signature pages are attached hereto as Exhibit C.
12. In addition, Sherri Johnson, Corporate Director of Claims, for Interstate Hotels &
Resorts, Inc., submitted an affidavit which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. According to Ms.
Johnson, Defendant Interstate had no involvement with the property where Plaintiff allegedly
injured herself, until January 14, 2008 -more than 7 months after Plaintiffs alleged accident.
13. Further, Defendant Wyndham Gettysburg Hotel and Conference Center, USA
Management, Inc. d/b/a USA Management of PA and Gateway Gettysburg HoteUconference
Center Partners, LP ("Wyndham Gettysburg") filed its Answer with New Matter to the
Complaint. Defendant Wyndham Gettysburg stated in its Answer that Interstate Hotels &
Resorts, Inc. was not involved in the management of the hotel at the time of the alleged incident.
A true and correct copy of Wyndham Gettysburg's Answer with New Matter is attached hereto
as Exhibit E.
14. Prior to the filing of the instant Motion for Summary Judgment, Interstate's
counsel made numerous requests of Plaintiff s counsel to sign a Stipulation to Dismiss Interstate
from the case.
15. While the other Defendants' counsels have signed the Stipulation, Plaintiff s
counsel continues to ignore to any telephone inquiries or letters about the claim against
Interstate.
16. In sum, Defendant Interstate had no involvement with the hotel where Plaintiff
was injured, at the time of Plaintiffs alleged injury.

17. Accordingly, Plaintiff is unable to sustain her burden of proof and summary
judgment should be entered for Defendant, Interstate Hotels and Resorts, Inc.
18. In addition, Defendant Interstate seeks attorneys' fees for her improper,
unreasonable, and without basis refusal to dismiss Defendant Interstate from this case.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Interstate Hotels and Resorts, Inc. respectfully requests that
this Honorable Court grant its Motion for Summary Judgment and dismiss any and all
crossclaims asserted against it, and award counsel fees to Defendant, Interstate Hotels and

Defendants or the recovery is to be reduced in accordance with the terms of the aforesaid Act.
18. If it is judicially determined that the Plaintiff suffered any injuries and/or damages

20. By the actions at the date, time and place stated in the Plaintiffs Civil Action-

22. On November 7, 1988 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court promulgated amended
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 238, hereinafter "Rule 238" with an immediate effective
date.

of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; 42 U.S.C.A. Section 1983 of the
Civil Rights Acts; Article I, Sections 1, 6, 11, 26; and Article IV, Section 10(c) of the
Pennsylvania Constitution.
If there is a judicial determination that Rule 238 is constitutional, then liability for any
interest imposed by this rule should be suspended during the period of time that Plaintiffs fail to
convey to the Defendants a settlement demand figure, delays in responding to discovery, delays
3
in producing requests made by the Defendant, and as a result of any delay, the Plaintiffs should
be estopped from obtaining interest because of any violation of the discovery rules.
23. The damages alleged by Plaintiff did not result from the acts and/or omissions of
Defendant, but from acts and/or omissions of third parties over whom Defendant had no control.

including, but not limited to accord and satisfaction, arbitration and award, consent, discharge in

from suit, impossibility of performance, justification, laches, license, payment, privilege, release,
res judicata, statute of limitations, statute of frauds, truth and waiver.
25. Plaintiffs claims are barred by any and all waivable affirmative defenses.
26. Defendant Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc., through one of its affiliates, provided
management services to the hotel beginning on January 14, 2008 and did not provide any
services at the time of Plaintiff's alleged accident.
WHEREFORE, Answering Defendant, hereby demands judgment in their favor and
against the Plaintiff together with attorney's fees, costs and other relief deemed appropriate by
this Honorable Court.
NEW MATTER CROSSCLAIM
27. Answering Defendant incorporates by reference the answer to paragraphs 1
through 26 inclusive, as fully as though the same were here set forth at length.
28. If Plaintiff suffered injuries or damages as alleged in the Complaint said injuries
and damages were caused solely by the negligence and carelessness of the other Defendants,
who are solely liable, or jointly and/or severally liable, and/or liable over to Answering
Defendant.
4

and damages as Plaintiff may have suffered, the other Defendants are liable to Answering
Defendant byway of contribution and/or indemnity, contractually or otherwise.

TAMMY SYKES-ALLEN CASE NO. 2009-3540
V.
CONEWAGO ENTERPRISES, INC., ET AL
DEFENDANT CONEWAGO ENTERPRISES' MOTION TO COMPEL THE
PLAINTIFF'S INDEPENDENT MEDICAL EXAMINATION
The Defendants, by and through their attorneys, STRACHAN & HATZELL, present the
following motion to compel the Plaintiff to undergo an independent medical examination, and in
support thereof, aver the following:
1. The plaintiff filed the above-captioned action, seeking damages for bodily injuries from
defendant.
2. On or about June 17, 2011, IMX Medical Management Services, Inc. notified
Plaintiff's counsel of an Independent Medical Evaluation scheduled for July 19, 2011. See
Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
On or about July 14, 2011, defendant's counsel sent a letter to plaintiff's counsel
reminding him of the scheduled IME. See Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
4. On or about July 20, 2011, defendant's counsel was notified by IMX that the Plaintiff
was a No-Show. See Exhibit "C" attached hereto.
Pa.R.C.P 4010(a) authorizes a trial court to order the mental or physical examination of
a party when the mental or physical condition of that party is in controversy.
6. The defendant has made a good faith attempt to resolve the discovery impasse in
accordance with Philadelphia Civil Rule No. 208.2(e).
7. The Defendant is prejudiced by the plaintiff's failure to appear for her independent
medical examination, and the defendant cannot effectively prepare a defense for trial in the
absence of sufficient expert medical testimony.
WHEREFORE, the defendants respectfully request the Court to enter an Order
instructing the plaintiff to appear for an Independent Medical Examination.
