v.
PPG INDUSTRIES, INC. ,
Defendant.
DEFENDANT'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG"), by and through
its attorneys, Dickie, McCamey & Chilcote, P.C., and files the following Preliminary
Objections and avers as follows:
I. In June 2009, Plaintiff, John Moore, initiated the instant lawsuit by filing a
Writ of Summons.
?. On October 4, 2012, Plaintiff filed a Complaint.
~_ In his Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that he was employed as a union
electrician through IBEW Local 143 and was contracted by Henry F. Teichmann, Inc. to
perform work at a PPG facility in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
=I. Plaintiff claims that he was performing electrical work at khe facility on
December 9, 2008 and as part of his employment he was performing electrical work
approximately 20 feet above ground. on a catwalk.
5. Plaintiff then alleges that while performing his job duties his left toot and
leg unexpectedly fell through an opening in the walkway.
~(~11~~= i 05 CNII,
h. Plaintiff claims injuries as a result of the alleged accident.
7. Plaintiff's Complaint: is deficient under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil
Procedure and Pennsylvania law.
~. Specifically, Plaintiff's Complaint allegations of recklessness and
carelessness are improper.
9. Accordingly, Defendant files these Preliminary Objections to dismiss
portions of Plaintiff's claim against Defendant.
Plaintiffs Allegations of Reek~lessness are Inappropriate, Scandalous rnui Inihertinent
m2c~ Should be Stricken.
10. Plaintiff's one and only count sounds in negligence and it is negligence
which is alleged to have caused harm.
11. Yet, Plaintiff improperly claims that the same negligent conduct was also
careless and reckless. See Complaint, ¶ 15.
l2. Such an allegation is inappropriate in a negligence claim as such a claim
does not import an evil motive or reckless indifference to the rights of others.
Additionally, such allegations are impertinent and scandalous. Pa.R.C.P. 10?h.
13. It has been held. that where the allegations of a Complaint detail the
allegedly negligent conduct of the L>efendant, it is not sufficient to merely allege that the
same conduct was also reckless. The Complaint must allege facts that indicate in what
manner the Defendant knew or had reason to know that his conduct invol~ ed a high
probability of substantial harm to others. Van Ingen z~s. Wentz, 70 D&C 2d 5~~5 (Pa C.P.
1975).
2
~(li)9-705 CIVIL
14. Additionally, as the Pennsylvania Superior Court pointed aut ia7 RRtti z~.
Whcelirig Pittsburgh Steel Corp., 758 A.2d 695 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2000), "there is a substantive
difference between ordinary negligence and gross negligence. The general consensus
finds gross negligence constitutes conduct more egregious than ordinary negligence."
Rr~tti, 758 f~.2d at 7Q3.
15. Other than merely listing purportedly negligent acts omissions, Plaintiff's
Complaint contains no allegations that this Defendant knew or had to reason to know
of facts which would have lead a reasonable man to realize that Defendant's conduct
created an unreasonable risk of physical harm substantially greater than that which is
necessar~~ t:o make his conduct negligent.
7 6. Additionally, Plaintiff's Complaint does not contain any allegations that
the conduct of the Defendant rose above ordinary negligence. In essence, the Plaintiff
has alleged that the alleged acts or omissions on the part of 1?PG are at the same time
negligent, grossly negligent and :reckless. Such cannot be the case and therefore,
Defendant respectfully requests that any references to careless and reckless ire Plaintiff's
Complaint be stricken.
3
?009-3705 CIVIL
WHEREFORE, for the reasons stated above, Defendant, PPG [nelustric~s, Inc.,
respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter an Order sustaining (:he within
Preliminarv Objections.

JOHN MOORE, IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
Plaintiff,
NO. 2009-3705
v.
CIVIL ACTION
PPG INDUSTRIES, INC.,
Defendant.
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO COMPEL AUTHORIZATION FROM PLAINTIFF
AND NOW,comes Defendant, PPG Industries, Inc.,by and through their counsel, Dickie,
McCamey&Chilcote,P.C.,and files the within Motion and avers the following:
1. On or about October 4, 2012, the Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a
Complaint. (See Plaintiff's Complaint attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 1)
2. In his Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that a he fell while working on the
Defendant's property on December 9, 2008, and sustained, inter alia, a right ankle injury.
(Exhibit 1, ¶ 7)
3. Defendant filed preliminary objections to the Plaintiff's Complaint regarding
the Plaintiff's allegations of carelessness and recklessness.
4. By Order of January 9, 2013, the Honorable M. L. Ebert overruled Defendant's
preliminary objections.
5. Discovery in this matter is on-going. In Plaintiffs responses to Defendant's
Interrogatories and Requests to Produce Documents, the Plaintiff identified Orthopedic
Institute of Pennsylvania (OIP) as a facility from which he sought medical treatment related
to the aforementioned slip and fall.
6. In the course of discovery, Defendants subpoenaed the treatment records
from OIP and were advised that an executed medical authorization would be required prior
to the release of the records.
7. Accordingly, on three separate occasions, Defendants, through their third-
party records service, Medical Legal Reproductions, Inc., requested an executed medical
authorization permitting the release of the medical records from the Plaintiff. (See
Correspondence of October 29, 2013, December 4, 2013 and December 31, 2013
requesting an authorization from Plaintiff attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 2)
8. In February of 2014, the Plaintiffs counsel advised Defendant that he would
not permit his client to execute the authorization permitting Defendant to obtain the
requested records. (See Correspondence attached hereto and marked as Exhibit 3)
9. As stated above, the Defendant issued a subpoena for records from
Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania.
10. This subpoena was issued in accordance with Pa.R.C.P. 4009.21.
11. The scope of the subpoena is within the scope of discovery provided by
Pa.R.C.P. 4003.1; as the Defendant is merely seeking the facts, documents, and
identification of witnesses that form the basis of Plaintiffs claims as alleged in the
Complaint, particularly as they pertain to the extent of the injury alleged and the damages
allegedly sustained.
2
12. The Rules of Civil Procedure and the courts of this Commonwealth permit
discovery requests such as those at issue here. Rule 4003.1 of the Pennsylvania Rules of
Civil Procedure provides, generally:
[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 a
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, location of any books, documents, or other
tangible things and the identity and location of persons
having knowledge of any discoverable matter. Pa.R.Civ.P.
No. 4003.1(a).
13. The purpose of the Pennsylvania "discovery rules is to prevent surprise and
unfairness and to allow a fair trial on the merits." See Dominick v. Hanson, 753 A.2d 824,
826 (Pa.Super. 2000).
14. To that end, Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 4003.1 provides that "as a
general rule, discovery should be liberally allowed with respect to any matter, not
privileged, which is relevant to the cause being tried." See George v. Schirra, 814 A.2d 202,
204 (Pa.Super. 2002).
15. The records requested are intimately related to the Plaintiff's claim of
damages and injury as a result of the fall allegedly sustained on December 9, 2008.
16. Based upon the foregoing, Defendant respectfully requests that this
Honorable Court compel the Plaintiff to produce the authorization so as to enable
Defendant to obtain these records.
17. Counsel for Defendant PPG Industries, Inc., hereby certifies that they sought
the concurrence of Plaintiff's counsel in the within Motion, and said concurrence at the time
of this filing was not given.
3
WHEREFORE, Defendant, PPG, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court
compel Plaintiff, John Moore, to produce a signed authorizations for the release of records
to Defendant from Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania (OIP) within twenty (20) days or
be subject to sanctions, which could include payment of costs, payment of attorney's fees,
and the prohibition of introduction at trial of any evidence supporting the claims relating to
Plaintiff's alleged injury and damages.
Respectfully submitted,

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PLAINTIFF'S ANSWER TO
DEFENDANT'S MOTION TO COMPEL AUTHORIZATION
AND NOW comes the Plaintiff, JOHN MOORE, by and through his
attorneys, SHOLLENBERGER & JANUZZI, LLP, and files the following Answers
to Defendant's Motion to Compel, as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted. By way of further answer, not only did Plaintiff identify
Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania as a medical provider, he produced copies
of all his medical records through discovery.
6. Denied. After reasonable investigation, Plaintiff is without
knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth of this
averment.
7. Admitted.
8. Admitted. By way of further answer, Plaintiff also advised in that
same letter that he would obtain the records sought by Defendant and provide
copies of same. Plaintiff in fact provided Defendant with all treatment records
from OIP through September 26, 2011, the last date of service.
9. Admitted. By way of further answer, although Defendant issued a
subpoena, it never sought to enforce that subpoena through the appropriate
methods set forth in the subpoena itself, which clearly and unambiguously
advises the recipient that their "failure to produce the documents or things
required by this subpoena within twenty (20) days after its service" may subject
them to a court order compelling their compliance. (See Exhibit "A" attached
hereto).
10. Admitted. By way of further answer, the Note contained within Rule
4009.21 specifically provides a party with alternate means, under the Rules of
Procedure, to compel the production of documents or things from a person or
entity not a party to the action.
11. Admitted. By way of further answer, Plaintiff has provided all of his
medical records to the Defendant.
12. Admitted. By way of further answer, the Rules of Civil Procedure
also permit and provide mechanisms for enforcement of a subpoena against the
recipient of same.
13. Admitted. By way of further answer, Plaintiff has provided all of his
medical records to the Defendant, thus eliminating the risk of "surprise and
unfairness."
14. Admitted. By way of further answer, Plaintiff has provided all
discoverable documents to Defendant through discovery.
15. The above referenced averment is a conclusion of law to which no
answer is required pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1029(e). By way of further answer,
Plaintiff has provided all treatment records to Defendant through discovery.
16. Although not an averment, Defendant fails to set forth any authority
whatsoever that requires Plaintiff to sign an authorization. To the contrary,
Plaintiff is unaware of any Rule which compels him to sign an authorization for
the benefit of Defendant. Rather, Defendant has the ability to compel the
recipient of the subpoena to comply, not the Plaintiff.
17. Admitted.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court dismiss
Defendant's Motion to Compel Authorization.
