In support thereof, Plaintiff asserts the following: 1. The aforenoted Civil Action results from dental care provided to Plaintiff, Christopher Deluca, by the defendants, which Plaintiff alleges deviated from accepted standards, and caused injury to Christopher Deluca. 2. Simultaneous with the filing of this Motion, Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a Writ of Summons. A true and correct copy of the Writ of Summons is attached hereto as Exhibit "A." 3. Due to the absence of the needed records, all of which are in the exclusive control of defendants and their failure to provide same to Plaintiff, Plaintiff is unable to determine the merit of their claim and, if meritorious, to draft a sufficient Complaint and file Certificates of Merit in this action without conducting pre-complaint discovery. 4. A full and complete, legible, certified copy of the entire dental chart (including any and all paper records and records on computer) and all records pertaining to Christopher Deluca is needed before any potential expert can reach sufficient opinions and conclusions to provide appropriate Statements of Merit. 5. The records and information needed by Plaintiff are, upon information, in the exclusive possession of the defendants. 6. Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 1042.3(a), in any case in which a professional liability claim is asserted against a licensed professional, counsel for plaintiff must file with the Complaint, or within sixty (60) days of filing the Complaint, a certificate ("Certificate of Merit") that an appropriate licensed professional has supplied a written statement to plaintiff that there exists a reasonable probability that the care, skill or knowledge exercised or exhibited in the treatment, practice or work that is the subject of the Complaint fell outside acceptable professional standards and that such conduct was a cause in bringing about the harm. 7. According to Pa. R.C.P. 1042.3(b), a separate Certificate of Merit must be filed as to each licensed professional against whom a claim is asserted. 8. In addition, Pa. R.C.P. 1042.5 provides that a plaintiff who has asserted a professional liability claim may, without leave of court, request production of documents and things prior to filing a certificate of merit. 9. More importantly, the note accompanying Pa. R.C.P. 1042.5 provides that "[u]pon motion seeking leave of court [to conduct discovery], the court shall allow any discovery which is required for a licensed professional to make a determination as to whether a defendant deviated from accepted professional standards." See Note, Pa. R.C.P. 1042.5 (emphasis added). 10. Further, an amendment to the Rules of Civil Procedure provides a two-prong test for pre-complaint discovery: (1) the information sought must be material and necessary to the filing of the complaint, and (2) the discovery will not cause unreasonable annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, burden or expense to any person or party. Pa. R.C.P. 4003.8 with Explanatory Comment. 11. Plaintiff will be unfairly prejudiced without full and complete records and documents that are needed to obtain complete expert review and to draft and serve a sufficient Complaint. 12. Further, Plaintiff's request will not cause unreasonably burden, annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or expense. 13. Plaintiff requests leave to conduct pre-complaint discovery to obtain the information and documents described in paragraph 4, above. 14. Plaintiff also requests that this Honorable Court stay all further proceedings including but not limited to issuance and/or enforcement of any Rules to File a Complaint in this Civil Action for a period sufficient to accomplish the aforenoted discovery required to assist Plaintiff to determine if this claim is meritorious, and if meritorious, to draft and file a sufficient Complaint, to obtain and file Certificates of Merit and to properly serve all defendants. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court enter the proposed Order attached hereto. Respectfully submitted, VILLARI, BRANDES & KLINE, P.C. Dated: I By: T?esa (??() L.

STEPHEN M. RYDESKY, JR., D.M.D., et. al. Defendants BRIEF IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO STAY ALL RULES TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND FOR LEAVE TO CONDUCT PRE-COMPLAINT DISCOVERY IN THE NATURE OF INFORMATION AND DOCUMENT PRODUCTION Plaintiff, by his attorneys, Villari, Brandes & Kline, P.C., respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant leave to Plaintiff to conduct pre-complaint discovery in the nature of information and document production from certain parties or persons for the purpose of obtaining facts and other information that will enable Plaintiff to draft a sufficient Complaint and obtain Certificates of Merit in this action and to stay all Rules to File a Complaint in the above- captioned action. In support thereof, Plaintiff asserts the following: I. STATEMENT OF FACTS The aforenoted Civil Action results from dental care provided to Plaintiff, Christopher Deluca, by the defendants, which Plaintiff alleges deviated from accepted standards, and caused injury to Christopher Deluca. Simultaneous with the filing of this Motion, Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a Writ of Summons. A true and correct copy of the Writ of Summons is attached hereto as Exhibit "A." Due to the absence of the needed records, all of which are in the exclusive control of defendants and their failure to provide same to Plaintiff, Plaintiff is unable to determine the merit of their claim and, if meritorious, to draft a sufficient Complaint and file Certificates of Merit in this action without conducting pre-complaint discovery. A full and complete, legible, certified copy of the entire dental chart (including any and all paper records and records on computer) and all records pertaining to Christopher Deluca is needed before any potential expert can reach sufficient opinions and conclusions to provide appropriate Statements of Merit. The records and information needed by Plaintiff are, upon information, in the exclusive possession of the defendants. II. ARGUMENT A. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure Permit Plaintiff To Seek Pre- Complaint Discovery To Obtain Certificates of Merit. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure 1042.3(a), in any case in which a professional liability claim is asserted against a licensed professional, counsel for plaintiff must file with the Complaint, or within sixty days of filing the Complaint, a Certificate of Merit. The Certificate must state that an appropriate licensed professional has supplied a written statement to plaintiff that there exists a reasonable probability that the care, skill or knowledge exercised or exhibited in the treatment, practice or work that is the subject of the Complaint fell outside acceptable professional standards and that such conduct was a cause in bringing about the harm. Although the "appropriate licensed professional" need not be the expert who testifies at trial for plaintiff, an appropriate licensed professional must possess sufficient education, training, knowledge and experience that he could provide credible, competent testimony against the defendant licensed professional. See Note to Pa. R.C.P. 1042.3 (a)(1). Moreover, Pa. R.C.P. 1042.3(b) provides that a separate certificate of merit must be filed as to each licensed professional against whom a claim is asserted. Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure 1042.1(b) defines "licensed professionals" as including a nurse and a "healthcare provider[s]" as further defined by Section 503 of the Medical Care Availability and Reduction of Error (Mcare) Act, 40 P.S. § 1303.503. See Pa. R.C.P. 1042.1(b). Section 503 of the MCARE Act defines healthcare provider, in relevant part, as "A primary health care center ... including a corporation, university or other educational institution licensed or approved by the Commonwealth to provide health care or professional medical services as a physician, a certified nurse midwife, a podiatrist, hospital, nursing home, birth center, and an officer, employee or agent of any of them acting in the course and scope of employment." See 40 P.S. § 1303.503. Additionally, Pa. R.C.P. 1042.5 provides that a plaintiff who has asserted a professional liability claim may, without leave of court, request production of documents and things prior to filing a certificate of merit. More importantly, the note accompanying Pa. R.C.P. 1042.5 provides that "[u]pon motion seeking leave of court [to conduct discovery], the court shall allow any discovery which is required for a licensed professional to make a determination as to whether a defendant deviated from accepted professional standards." See Note, Pa. R.C.P. 1042.5 (emphasis added). In the case at hand, Plaintiff will need to obtain a full and complete, legible, certified copy of the entire dental chart (including any and all paper records and records on computer), billing records pertaining to Plaintiffs care atiby Dr. Rydesky defendant Practice Group, as outlined above to obtain adequate expert review and to file Certificates of Merit. Accordingly, Plaintiff seeks leave of court to conduct pre-complaint discovery to draft and file a sufficient Complaint and to obtain needed statements of merit. B. The Information Sought From Pre-Complaint Discovery Is Material And Necessary To The Filing Of The Complaint and Will Not Cause Unreasonable Annoyance, Embarrassment, Oppression, Burden or Expense to Any Party. The Rules of Civil Procedure provides a two-prong test for pre-complaint discovery: (1) the information sought must be material and necessary to the filing of the complaint, and (2) the discovery will not cause unreasonable annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, burden or expense to any person or party. Pa. R.C.P. 4003.8 with Explanatory Comment. Here, Plaintiff satisfies the requirements of Rule 4003.8. First, a full and complete, legible, certified copy of the entire dental chart is material and necessary to Plaintiff in drafting and filing the Complaint. Plaintiff will be unfairly prejudiced without full and complete records that are needed to obtain complete expert review and to draft and serve a sufficient Complaint. Second, Plaintiffs request will not cause unreasonably burden, annoyance, embarrassment, oppression or expense to any person or party. Thus, based on the foregoing, Plaintiff should be granted leave to conduct pre-complaint discovery. III. CONCLUSION For the reasons set forth herein, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court to stay all proceedings in this Civil Action and to grant leave to Plaintiffs to conduct pre-complaint discovery.
