CIVIL ACTION - LAW
DEFENDANT'S PETITION TO STRIKE
PLAINTIFF'S PRAECIPE TO DISCONTINUE
AND NOW, comes the Defendant, Lisa T. Shedlosky, by and through her attorneys,
MARTSON DEARDORFF WILLIAMS & OTIO, and respectfully represents as follows:
1. The Plaintiff, Citibank (South Dakota) N .A., is a corporation with a business address
of 701 East 60th Street North, Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
2. The Defendant, Lisa T. Shed10sky, is an individual with an address of 6346 N
Powderhorn Road, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, 17050.
3. On August 4, 2004, Plaintiff filed a Complaint against Defendant in the Cumberland
County Court of Common Pleas.
4. On September 9, 2004, Defendant filed Preliminary Objections in response to
Plaintiff's Complaint.
5. On or about May 4,2005, the Plaintiff and the Defendant appeared before the Court
for oral argument in regard to Defendant's Preliminary Objections.
6. On or about May 5,2005, Judge Oler, Jr. issued an Order of Court which stated, "the
preliminary objections of Defendant are sustained to the extent that, unless Plaintiff has filed an
amended complaint within 21 days of the date of this order containing a copy of the parties'
cardholder agreement, or an explanation of its omission in accordance with Pennsylvania Rule of
Civil Procedure 1019(i), Plaintiff's complaint will be deemed dismissed without further order of
court." The Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
( ,
7. More than 21 days after the Order of Court, on May 31, 2005, Plaintiff filed a
Praecipe to Discontinue the above action "without prejudice."
8. Because the Plaintifffailed to file an amended complaint within 21 days after the May
5,2005, Plaintiff's Complaint was deemed dismissed pursuant to Order of Court.
9. Therefore, Plaintiff's Praecipe to Discontinue "without prejudice" has no legal effect
in this matter, is unenforceable and must be stricken.
10. It is believed, and therefore averred, that Plaintiff is attempting to discontinue this
action "without prejudice" in order to preserve its ability to re-institute this action against Defendant
in the future.
11. The concurrence of opposing counsel of record in this matter was sought on June
8, 2005, but was not obtained.
WHEREFORE, the Defendant, Lisa T. Shedlosky, prays this Court to grant a rule upon the
Plaintiff to show cause why the Praecipe to Discontinue should not be stricken.
