JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PETITION OF DEFENDANT, JOSEPH M. 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.
Respectfully submitted,

PLAINTIFFS' RESPONSE TO PETITION OF DEFENDANT
TO CONSOLIDATE CASES FOR THE PURPOSES
OF DISCOVERY AND TRIAL
1. 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.
