UHRINEK, TO CONSOLIDATE CASES FOR THE PURPOSES OF DISCOVERY AND TRIAL 1. On May 17, 2001, Plaintiff, Joseph B. Ragland and Sharon A. Ragland commenced a civil action against Joseph M. Uhrinek, Docket No. 01-2308, in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 2. On November 1, 2001, Dora L. Moore and Alphonso Moore, Sr., commenced a civil action against Joseph M. Uhrinek, Docket No. 01-6255, in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 3. Both actions arise out of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on or about May 26, 2000, at approximately 8:50 a.m. at the intersection of Routes 11 and 15 and Valley Road in East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 4. At the aforesaid time and place, Plaintiff, Joseph Ragland, was operating a 1994 Chevrolet Blazer and was stopped at a red traffic signal on Routes 11 and 15 at the intersection with Valley Road. 5. At the same time and place, the Plaintiff, Dora L. Moore, was a passenger in the vehicle being driven by Joseph Ragland. 6. At the same time and place, Defendant, Joseph Uhrinek, was the owner and operator of a 1992 Toyota which was traveling directly behind the Ragland vehicle. 7. The front of the Uhrinek vehicle came in contact with the rear of the Ragland vehicle. 8. There was very minimal, if any, damage to either vehicle. 9. Both Plaintiffs, Dora Moore and Joseph Ragland, contend they sustained various personal injuries as a result of the aforesaid minor accident. 10. Pa.R.C.P. 213(a) provides in pertinent part: "In actions pending in a county in which involve a common question of law or fact or which arise from the transaction or occurrence, record on its own motion or the motion of any party may order a joint hearing or trial of any matter an issue in the actions, may order the actions consolidated, and may make orders that avoid unnecessary delay or costs." 11. Both actions arise out of the same "occurrence" as they both arise out of the aforesaid motor vehicle accident. 12. Both actions involve question of fact, namely whether the minor accident caused sufficient forces to injure either of the Plaintiffs. 13. Consolidation of the matters for trial would conserve judicial resources as only one trial would be necessary. WHEREFORE, Defendant, Joseph Uhrinek, urges this Honorable Court to consolidate the above-captioned actions for the purposes of discovery and trial.

Admitted. 2. Admitted. 3. Admitted. 4, Admitted. 5. Admitted 6. Admitted. 7. Admitted. 8. Denied as stated. The Defendant's characterization that there was minimal, if any, damage to either vehicle is specifically denied. By way of further answer, Plaintiffs' demand strict proof thereof of the Defendant to this allegation. 9. Admitted in part denied in part. It is admitted that both Plaintiffs contend they sustained various injuries as a result of the accident and their Complaints are incorporated herein by reference. By way of further answer, it is specifically denied that the aforesaid accident was a "minor accident" and strict proof is demanded from the Defendant. Plaintiffs also incorporate their response to Paragraph 8 of this Petition. 10. Paragraph 10 is a conclusion of law to which no response is required. 11. Paragraph 11 is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required. 12. Paragraph 12 is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required. By way of further answer, the Plaintiffs specifically deny that this is a "minor accident" and demand strict proof thereof from the Defendant. 13. Paragraph 13 is a conclusion of law to which no responsive pleading is required. By way of further answer, to the extent a responsive pleading is deemed required, the Plaintiff specifically denied that consolidating both matters for trial is necessary. The Plaintiffs do not object to the cases being consolidated for the purposes of discovery, however, each Plaintiff has his or her own separate injuries. In addition, liability has not been admitted and one of the Plaintiffs was a passenger and, therefore, each Plaintiff should be entitled to have separate juries and separate proceedings determined liability and damages. The use of the same jury to hear both cases which have different injuries and damages would be prejudicial and unfair to the Plaintiffs. WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs respectfully request this Honorable Court grant the Defendant's Petition to the extent it consolidates the proceedings for discovery, however, deny the motion to the extent it consolidates the proceedings for trial.
