Jury Trial Demanded
DEFENDANT PYNOS' MOTION TO COMPEL
COMPLIANCE WITH SUBPOENAS
This lawsuit arises out of a motor vehicle accident which occurred on
December 17, 1999.
2. Plaintiff initiated the lawsuit with the filing of a Writ of Summons on
December 4, 2001. Plaintiff filed a Complaint on January 23, 2002.
3. In the Complaint, Plaintiff Jennifer Stutting alleges that as a result of
the motor vehicle accident, she has suffered "severe injuries to her body in the
nature of bruises to her chin; bruised left bicep; pain in her shoulders, neck and
back; pain in the top of her leg; bruises on the top of her head; headaches, spasms
and stiffness in her neck; pain in her back which radiates down both legs;
lacerations of her chin; and chronic pain syndrome". (.See No. 8 of Plaintiff's
Complaint which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1)
4. Counsel for Defendant has attempted to obtain Plaintiff's medical
records. On April 29, 2002, Defendant served Plaintiff with a Notice of Intent to
Serve Subpoenas. Pursuant to Pa.R.Civ. P. 4009.21, Plaintiff had 20 days to file
any objection. Plaintiff did not file any objection within the 20-day period with
either the Court or Defense counsel. {The Notice of Intent is attached hereto as
Exhibit 2)
5. On May 31, 2002, Defendant requested the Cumberland County
Prothonotary's Office to issue the subpoenas. Prior to this time, Plaintiff did not
file any objections.
6. On June 5, 2002, Defendant served eleven {11) subpoenas on Plaintiff
Stutting's health care providers. The subpoenas requested the custodian of
records to produce Plaintiff's Stutting's medical records within 20 days. (A
subpoena and a letter to a health care provider is attached as Exhibit 3)
7. On July 1, 2002, Plaintiff's counsel faxed a letter to Defense counsel.
For the first time, Plaintiff's counsel registered an objection to the subpoenas. In
addition, Plaintiff's counsel attached a copy of the letters he had sent to the health
care providers. The letter to the health care providers is dated June 27, 2002 and
directs the health care providers not to "release any documents or things per the
subpoenas". (~See fax attached as Exhibit 4)
8. Since that time, several health care providers have indicated that they
cannot produce records in response to the subpoenas because of Plaintiff's
counsel's letter. (See letter attached as Exhibit 5)
9. The subpoenas were properly issued by the Cumberland County
Prothonotary's Office and properly served by Defense counsel.
10. Pursuant to Rule 234.5, Defense counsel could file a motion to compel
against every health care provider who has not produced Plaintiff Stutting's
records. Rule 234.5 provides that the Court could issue a bench warrant or hold
someone in contempt.
11. Defense counsel believes that the health care providers have not
produced the records because of Attorney Coyne's June 27, 2002 letter. Thus,
Defendant has elected to file this Motion.
12. Attorney Coyne did not file a timely objection to the subpoenas.
Rather, he has written to each health care provider and instructed them to ignore a
valid subpoena. In essence, Attorney Coyne has interfered with the discovery
process and has advised individuals to ignore the Pa. Rules of Civil Procedure.
13. Even if the objection was timely, the objection has no merit. Attorney
Coyne has requested that the subpoenas be ignored because they do not limit the
request to records which relate to the motor vehicle accident of December 1999.
14. Ms. Stutting alleges that she suffered a multitude of problems because
of the motor vehicle accident. What injuries and what treatment she received as a
result of the motor vehicle accident will be the topic of expert testimony. To fully
understand what injuries Plaintiff received because of the motor vehicle accident,
defense medical experts will need to know Plaintiff's pre-existing problems and
conditions. Similarly, defense medical experts will need to know what treatment
Ms. Stutting received prior to the motor vehicle accident.
15. In addition, Ms. Stutting was involved in a subsequent motor vehicle
accident. The experts may disagree as to what injuries, if any, were caused by
the 1999 motor vehicle accident and what injuries were caused by the subsequent
motor vehicle accident.
16. Finally, if Plaintiff's medical records contain items which Plaintiff
alleges are not related to the alleged 1999 motor vehicle accident, then Plaintiff's
counsel may file a motion in limine and request the Court for an Order precluding a
witness from discussing these items at the time of trial.
17. Defendant files this Motion and requests the Court for an Order
instructing the health care providers to ignore Attorney Coyne's letter of June 27,
2002 and to produce all records for Jennifer Stutting within 20 days.
18. Defendant has incurred additional expenses because of the Plaintiff's
counsel's letter. Defendant requests the Court to order Plaintiff's counsel to pay
Defendant's legal fees associated with this matter of $500.00.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Pynos respectfully requests this Honorable Court to
grant the Motion to Compel Compliance with Subpoenas.

RE:

Cumberland County C.C.P. No. 01-6865 Civil Term
Dear Mr. Coyne'
I am in receipt of your fax dated June 28, 2002.
You are absolutely correct that the subpoenas do not limit the request for
documents to records which relate to the treatment Ms. Stutting received in the December
17, 1999 motor vehicle accident. My intention is to obtain all of Ms. Stutting's records. I
would like to know whether she has any pre-existing problems. Furthermore, I would like
to know if she has had any subsequent accidents or injuries.
I respectfully request that you formally withdraw your objection. If you do not
withdraw the objection I will have no recourse but to file a Motion to Compel with the
Court.
Please contact my office so that we can discuss the same and determine how I
must proceed.
Very truly yours,

Compliance with Subpoenas.
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted. By way of further Answer, the Plaintiffs, wife, does not allege she had
preexisting conditions that were aggravated when Defendant's vehicle struck the vehicle
that Plaintiff, wife, was operating.
4. Admitted.
5. Admitted.
6. Admitted.
7. Admitted.
8. Denied. Plaintiffs' lack sufficient knowledge upon which to formulate an Answer.
9. Denied. Plaintiffs' lack sufficient knowledge upon which to formulate an Answer.
10. Admitted.
11. Admitted.
12.
13.
14.
15.
Denied. Plaintiffs' counsel reputes that his action interfered with the discovery process.
Further, Plaintiffs Counsel's actions were appropriate to insure the privacy of Plaintiffs,
wife's medical records. Further, Defendant's issuance of Subpoenas sought medical
records not pertinent to treatment of the injuries Plaintiffs, wife suffered as a result of
Defendant's vehicle striking the vehicle that Plaintiff was operating.
Admitted.
Denied. Refer to Plaintiffs' Answer No. 12, above, that is incorporated herein.
Denied. This issue has not been pleaded by Plaintiff and Defendant has not taken
appropriate action, via discovery, to confirm such an event.
16. Admitted. However, it is paramount that Plaintiffs, wife's constitutional right to privacy
not be compromised by medical providers responding to general Subpoenas. Further, the
legal economy dictates that Defendant should be precluded from using general
Subpoenas to discover data not germane to Plaintiffs' pleadings.
17. Denied. Refer to Paragraph 16, above, that is incorporated herein.
18. Denied. It is denied that Defendant suffered additional expenses due to Plaintiffs' letter
to the medical providers who treated Plaintiffs, wife.
Wherefore, Plaintiffs request your Honorable Court to deny Defendant's Motion to Compel
Compliance with the general Subpoena.
