JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
AMENDED JOINDER COMPLAINT OF DEFENDANT, METCO, INC.,
AGAINST ADDITIONAL DEFENDANT FOX POOLS INC.
Defendant, Metco, Inc., by and through its attorneys, Weber Gallagher Simpson
Stapleton Fires and Newby, LLP, hereby files this Amended Joinder Complaint against
Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc. and avers as follows:
1. On or about October 14, 2009, Plaintiff filed a Complaint against Defendant,
which Complaint is incorporated by reference, without admission, as if fully set forth herein. See
Plaintiff s Complaint attached hereto as Exhibit "A".
2. Service was made upon Defendant, Metco on October 20, 2009. A copy of the
Sheriff s Return of Service is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
3. Metco previously filed a Joinder Complaint On or about December 14, 2009. A
copy of that Joinder Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit "C".
.r'
4. Plaintiff s Complaint alleges that on June 17, 2009, a large portion of an eighty
foot long retaining wall collapsed and caused over $50,000.00 in property damage. See Exhibit
«A„
5. Metco had installed the retaining wall on January 22, 2007.
6. For 2.5 years, the retaining wall was in place without incident.
7. It is the belief of Metco that a pool was installed onto plaintiff's property 6
months prior to the collapsing of the retaining wall.
8. It is the belief of Metco that the pool was installed by Fox Pools, Inc.
9. Fox Pools, Inc. is a company licensed to do business within the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and located at 1883 Whiteford Road in York, Pennsylvania.
10. Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 2253 (1) states that a Joinder Complaint
may be filed within sixty days after the service of upon the original defendant of the initial

COUNTI
NEGLIGENCE
11. Defendant incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 - 10 above as though fully set
forth herein at length.
12. Metco believes and therefore avers that the pool installed by Fox Pools, Inc. was
done so improperly and without the proper "backfill" required or without any "backfill" at all.
13. Metco believes and therefore avers that the location of the pool precluded Metco
from reinforcing the wall and therefore Metco "buried" the bottom of the wall to compensate for
this.
14. Metco avers that if the incident occurred as alleged in Plaintiff's Complaint,
which allegations are hereby expressly denied, that any damages and/or losses sustained by the
Plaintiff were solely caused by the negligence and/or carelessness, of Additional Defendant, Fox
Pools, Inc. by and through its employees, agents, servants, representatives and/or franchisees.
15. Metco avers that in the event that any negligence and/or carelessness, and/or any
other wrongful conduct on the part of the Metco is established at trial, which allegations are
hereby expressly denied, that Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc., is solely liable and/or liable
over to Metco for contribution and/or jointly and severely liable with Metco to the Plaintiff.
16. Accordingly, Metco is entitled to contribution and/or indemnity from Additional
Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc.
17. In the event that it is judicially determined that Metco is liable to any party for
cause of action set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint, which liability is specifically denied, then
Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc., is liable over to Metco for contribution and/or indemnity,
or is jointly and severally with Metco on Plaintiff's cause of action.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Metco, Inc. respectfully requests that judgment be entered
against Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc., and on behalf of Defendant or, in the alternative,
that judgment be entered against Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc., for sole liability to
Plaintiff and/or joint and several liability to Plaintiff and/or liability over to Metco and/or for
i

NEGLIGENCE
10. Defendant incorporates by reference paragraphs 1 - 9 above as though fully set
forth herein at length.
11. Metco avers that if the incident occurred as alleged in Plaintiff's Complaint,

Plaintiff were solely caused by the negligence andi'or carelessness, of Additional Defendant, Fox
Pools, Inc. by and through its employees, agents, servants, representatives and/or franchisees.
12. Metco avers that in the event that any negligence and/or carelessness, and/or any

hereby expressly denied, that Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc., is solely liable and/or liable
over to Metco for contribution and/or jointly and severely liable with Metco to the Plaintiff.
13. Accordingly, Metco is entitled to contribution and/or indemnity from Additional
Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc.
14. In the event that it is judicially determined that Metco is liable to any party for
cause of action set forth in Plaintiff's Complaint, which liability is specifically denied, then
Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc., is liable over to Metco for contribution and/or indemnity,
or is jointly and severally with Metco on Plaintiff's cause of action.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Metco, Inc. respectfully requests that judgment be entered
against Additional Defendant, Fox Pools, Inc., and on behalf of Defendant or, in the alternative,

CUMBERLAND COUNTY
vs. ,
NO. fl9-6766..:
SHANICE D. WILLIAMS; and
JAMILA SKOiJTA ,
MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE
Defendant, Shanice D. Willams, by and through her legal counsel, FORRY ULLMAN.
moves this Court for a consolidation of the above-captioned matter, and in support thereof, avers
as follows:
I. FACT-UAL BACKGROUND,.
A. Beckley v. Williams and Skouta
l . Plaintiff, Thomas A. Beckley, filed a Civil Action Complaint in the above-
captioned matter on or about June 4, 2C-08 against Shanice D. Williams and Jamila Skouta.
?. Plaintiff's Civil Action Complaint alleges, among other things, that either or both
Ms. Wi hams and/or Ms. Skouta negligently caused a three car motor vehicle collision, which
damaged Plaintiff, Thomas A. Beckley's 2008 Mercedes Benz CL500. i
B. Mallard v. Williams &Skouta
Plaintiff, Shanice K. Mallard, subsequently filed a Civil Action Complaint in the
above-captioned matter on or about October 7, 2009.
This matter has already been arbitrated. on or about February 24, 2010. An appeal followed from the award
of the board of arbitrators. A jury trial was derr.anded on appeal.
~. Plaintiff, Shanice K. Mallard's Civil Action Complaint arises out of the same
automobile accident at issue in the Beckley Complaint. In Ms. Mallard's Complaint, she alleges,
among other things, that either or both Defendants, Shanice Williams and/or Jamila Skouta
negligently caused her personal injury..
C. Facts Arising in Both Causes of Action
Ms. Williams is contesting liability as well as the amount of damages in both.
cases referenced herein.
<. Both Complaints were idled as a result of the same motor-vehicle accident that
occurred on March 6, 2008 on State Route 1014, (on or near the Harvey Taylor Bridge), at or
about its intersection with North 3`d Street, Wormleysburg, Cumberland County. Pennsylvania.
As such, the claims in both cases arise out of the same series of events, and
involve the same witnesses. Further, the claims in both cases involve common questions of law
and fact, thus. requiring similar and/or the same issues and/or defenses being raised and litigated
at trial .
Should the cases not be consolidated, the finding of liability in the .first case taken
to trial. would likely be final and binding on the finding of liability in the second case; thus,
causing the second case to take on the appearance of either a damages hearing or rendering the
second case completely moot.
9. In order to ensure that the instant case will not result in unnecessary expenses to
the Court andior the parties, duplicity of issues, undue prejudice, and possibly inconsistent
verdicts. Moving Defendant currently requests to consolidate the above-captioned matters.
- If the trial in the first case resulted in a judgment favorable to Plaintiff, then the second trial would likely be
limited to the issue of damages only. In the alternative, if the trial in the first case resulted in a judgment favorable
to Defendants, them the second trial would likely be rendered wholly moot. The above conclusions assume that: the
first case to trial would be res judiciata on the later case, as to issues of liability.
II. LEGAL ARGUMENT:
10. under Pennsylvania law, the power to grant or refuse a motion to consolidate lies
within the sound discretion of the trial court. See Feldman v. Lafayette Green Condo :-1ss'n, 806
A.2d 497. 202 Pa. Commw. LEXIS 684 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 2002}.
1 1. Pursuant to Rule 213(a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, a court
may grant a consolidation of actions "on its own motion or on the motion of any party of any
matter in issue in the actions" so as to "avoid unnecessary cost or delay." See Pa.RC.P. 213(a)
(2010).
12. Further, consolidation is proper in actions which "involve a common question of
law or fact or which arise from the same transaction or occurrence." Id.
l 3. As such, consolidation may be granted where "the[] [actions] involve the same
parties. subject: matter, issues and defenses." Pennsylvania Law Encyclopedia, Vol. 1 1,
Consolidation ~ 35 (citing ffzinger v. Pennsylvania R. Co., 262 Pa. 242, 105 A. 87 (1914}.
14. Accordingly, in determining whether or not to grant a motion to consolidate, a
court should consider factors, including, but not limited t:o: "judicial economy, minimization of
delay, consistency of verdicts, expenses for parties involved, similarity of factual circumstances,
... ,and possibility of duplication of issues." Id. (citing Altschuler v. Altschuler. 334 Pa. Super.
111, 482 A.2d 1106 (1984); Anchor Motor Freight, Inc. v. Kuser, 10 Pa. D. & C.3d 497 (1919);
and Munger r. Dunning, 23 Pa. D. & C.3d 554 (C.P. 1982)).3
Furthermore, while no longer relevant given the arbitration appeal in Beckley, that one cause of action
would ordinarih~ be submitted to arbitration while the other would not, is not fatal to a motion for consolidation.
rLlanger 23 Pa. D. & C.3d at 556-57 (C.P. 1982;1("the court of common pleas [has] the power to decide procedural
matters that [fall] within the limits of arbitration. and the power to consolidate such case if the policies oP Rule
213(A) would be best served by consolidation.") (citing Anchor Motor Freight, 10 D. & C. 3d 49"7).
15. Furthermore, the court `'must weigh the advantage of consolidation against the
likelihood of prejudice to the parties and the potential for confusion of the jury." Rausc~zur v.
Abhott Labs, ~t al, 15 Phila. 251, 255 (C.P. Phila. 1986).4
16. Thus, it follows that a consolidation of actions is proper in that it would promote
judicial economy„ create substantial savings of time and effort to the Court and the parties. and
eliminate the possible risk of incurring inconsistent verdicts.
17. E~inally, there would be no actual prejudice to any party, herein, if this matter were
to be consolidated and any allegations of the actual prejudice would appear likely to be
disingenuous.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Shanice Williams, by and through her legal counse@,
respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant her Motion to Consolidate pursuant to Rule
213(a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.

`~ Consolidation of actions may still be found proper, and not to cause undue prejudice where two plaintiffs
allege injuries involving different theories regarding causation, where a court determines that a "joint trial will be
little more complex than any other involving co-plaintiffs with distinct injuries and claims for damages.'' Razcscher,
15 Phila. at 255 (noting the likelihood that the experts would be the same and the testimony would overlap regarding
the alleged injuries).

contact her, and her failure to participate in her defense of both cases.
12. On June 23, 2010, Defendant, Shanice D. Williams, failed to appear for
her properly noticed deposition in the Liability Suit.
13. By Order, dated December 20, 2010, this Court granted Shanice D.
WfMiams' counsel's Motion to Withdraw as counsel.
14. On May 12, 2011, Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, served
Defendant, Shanice D. Williams, with Requests for Admissions, which remain
unanswered, to date.
15. On May 17, 2011, Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, flied a
Motion for Status Conference in light of Ms. Williams' failure to respond to discovery or
to correspondence, her failure to appear for her June 23, 2010 deposition, and the
inability of the parties to locate Ms. Williams.
3
16. By Order, dated June 27, 2011, this Court refrained ftom ..issuing specific
discovery deadlines and/or diapositive motions, based upon the entry of appearance of
Christine Crimarki, Esquire, on behalf of Defendant, Shanice D. WiNiams.
17. Attorney Crimarki, thereafter, withdrew her appearance on behalf of
De#endant, Shanic~ D. Williams, on May 9, 2012, and an appearance by Randy Burch,
Esquire, was entered on Ms. Williams' behalf that same date.
18. From before January 27, 2010, through March, 2012, the parties were
unable to locate Defendant, Shanice D. Williams, so as to conduct needed discovery.
19. By March 22, 2012, Ms. Williams had been located, and leer deposition
was ultimately conducted on that date.
20. Following Ms. Williams' deposition, the parties to the Liability Suit and
Property Damage Suit, agreed to attempt to resolve both matters through media#ion.
21. On October 10, 2012, the parties to the Liabilityy Suit agrees to take the
depositions of Additional Defendant Thomas A. Beckley, Plaintiff Shani~e K. Mallard,
and Defendant Jamila Skouta, prior to mediation. The depositions are currently
scheduled to take place on December 18, 2012.
22. On October 5, 2012, Plaintiff Shanise K. Mallard id a Moition for Status
Conference. By Order, dated October 11, 2012, this Court scheduled a Status
Conference in the Liability Suit for November 19, 2012.
23. Undersigned counsel is unaware of when Plainfrff, Thomas' A. Beddey,
listed the Property Damage Suit for trial. Undersigned counsel first learned that the
Property Damage Suit had been listed for trial on October 8, 2012, during discussions
with the parties regarding their availability for depositions.
4
24. On October 17, 2012, Defendant Shanice D. Williams, fil®d a Motion to
Consolidate the Property Damage Suit with the Liability Suit.
25. Although not expressly stated, the substance of Defendant Williams'
Motion to Consolidate appears to request the consolidation of the Property Damage Suit
into the Liability Suit, and not visa versa.
26. By Order, dated October 26, 2012, this Court issued a Rule to Show
Cause why the Property Damage Suit and Liability Suit should not be consolidated.
The Ruh is returnable November 15, 2012.
27. In light of the procedural status of th~'ti~rtir° Sim; i1ti~ re~gvest`~Cty~
Defendant, Shanice D. Williams, to consolidate the Property Damage Suit into the
Liability Suit, counsel for Ms. Williams, Jamila Skouta, and Plaintiff objected to
maintaining the Property Damage Suit, Docket No. 08-3425, on the November, 2012,
trial list, at the November 6, 2012, Call of the List.
28. To the extent the Property Damage Suit and the Liability Suit have not yet
been consolidated, Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, is not yet'scheduled for
trial in his capacity as Additional Defendant, and therefore, is respectfully filing this
Statement of Position in lieu of a Pre-Trial Memorandum pursuant to a cionversation
undersigned counsel had with the Honorable Albert H. Masland's Chambers on
November 7, 2012, in response to the Court's Order of that same date.
III. P of Ac~iti~1 t]®f~.nrlsn~ Thn~.~ a ~.,~.~., o___~_
29. Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, respectfully objects to the
consolidation of the Liability Suit into the Property Damage Suit, if such consolidation
will result in the trial of the consolidated matters in November, 2012.
5
~, _-,_ -T _ __ _ _ .. _ __ _ __ _ - _.___ _ ._ ___
30. Discovery in the Liability Suit is not complete; and the defense of
Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, in the Liability Suit is not ready for trial. Nor
did the parties to the Liability Suit anticipate being ready for trial in November, 2012.
31. On the contrary, all parties to the Liability Suit anticipated the need to
complete depositions, and attempt to amicably resolve both suits through mediation at
the time of teaming that the Property Damage Suit had been listed for trial.
32. Indeed, the parties to the Liability Suit agreed to mediate the case in
January, 2013, and already selected Herman A. Gailey, III as the mediator.
33. At no time did Additional De#endant Thomas A. Beckley cause or
contribute to any "delay", to the extent a purported delay may be offered as a ground for
submitting the Liability Suit to trial before the parties, including Additional Defendant
Thomas A. Beckley, are adequately prepared.
34. Plaintiff Mallard's deposition has not yet been taken, and k is currently
scheduled to be completed on December 18, 2012. Undersigned counsel also
contemplates the need to submit Plaintiff to an independent medical examination.
35. Moreover, Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, will be in need of
Plaintiff's updated medical records prior to trial.
36. Further, liability witnesses have not been served with subpoenas, and
Plaintiff Mallard's trial witnesses, expert or otherwise, have not been identified for trial.
37. Undersigned counsel also anticipates the filing of dispositive mo#ions.
38. For the foregoing reasons, the parties to the Liability Suit have never
contemplated listing the Liability Suit for trial in November, 2012, and the Liability Suit
has never been certfied as being ready for trial.
6
_. _ _
39. Cumberland County Local Rule 213-2 requires that counsel for all parties
indicate that discovery has been completed, that alternative dispute resolution options
have been considered and, if agreed to, have been completed prior to listing a case for
trial.
40. Counsel for Thomas A. Beckley, in his capacity as Plaintiff, and counsel
for Defendants, Shanice D. WiNiams and Jamila Skouta, appeared at thie November 6,
2012, Call of the List for the Property Damage Suit only. The Liability Suit was,
understandably, not subject to the November 6, 2012, Call of the List. dut of an-
abundance of caution, counsel informed the Court during Call of the List that the
procedural and substantive requirements for trial of the Liability Suit have not yet been
satisfied.
41. Should this Court interpret the pending Motion to Consolidate as a request
to consoNdate the Liability Suit into the Property Damage Suit for trial in November,
2012, it will be tantamount to depriving the parties to the Liability Suit of'the opportunity
to complete needed and mutually agreed upon discovery, in addition to precluding
Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, adequa#e time to prepare for trial.
42. Consolidating the Liability Suit into the Property Damages Suit for trial in
November, 2012, will result in irreparable harm and prejudice to Additional Defendant,
Thomas A. Beckley, by depriving him of the ability to adequately defend himself at trial
on the issues of liability and damages.
7
WHEREFORE, Additional Defendant, Thomas A. Beckley, respectfully requests
that this Honorable Court not consolidate the Liab{{ity Suit into the Property Damage
Suit for trial in November, 2012, and that the Court enable the parties to the Liability Suit
to proceed with their anticipated discovery and attempt to reso{ve the matter through
mediation before proceeding to trial.
