§ CIVIL ACTION
§ CHANGE OF NAME
PETITION TO CHANGE NAMF~
AND NOW, comes George Stanley Brown, by and through his attorney Roger R.
Laguna, Jr., and requests this Honorable Court, pursuant to 54 P.S. Section 701, to issue a
Decree changing his name from George Stanley Brown to Jorge Luis Quinnonez, based on
the following:
1. George Stanley Brown, hereinafter referred to as "Petitioner", is an adult
citizen who resides at 517 Highland Court, Cumberland County, Carlisle,
Pennsylvania 17013.
2. This Petition was initially misfiled in the Dauphin County Court of Common
Pleas at Docket No. 3587 S 2000. A hearing on said Petition was held on
May 23, 2001 before The Honorable Judge John F. Cherry and, because
Petitioner's current residence is in Cumberland County, the Petition was
dismissed by the Court for lack of venue.
3. Prior to the hearing held at the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas,
Petitioner's fingerprint cards were submitted to the Pennsylvania State Police
and, thereafter, a notice and criminal history record were submitted to the
Court (originals attached hereto as "Exhibit A").
4. Petitioner was born in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania on June 30, 1967.
5. The Petitioner's birth certificate indicates that his father was Stanley Joseph
Brown (deceased: 1969). However, Petitioner avers that Stanley Joseph
Brown, was not really his biological father.
6. In support of this averment, Petitioner states that his biological mother,
Yolanda Quinnones, recently advised her son that he was conceived when she
was forcibly raped at the age of(14) fourteen years old, by a perpetrator who
had been staying with her family. The alleged perpetrator absconded after the
incident. He was known only as "Miguel Perez"; no date of birth, social
security number, address, etc., was ever learned.
7. After conception, but prior to Petitioner's birth, Stanley Joseph Brown
(deceased: 1969), graciously married Petitioner's mother with the intention of
sparing the mother and child the stigma which they believed would be
associated with these events. As such, at the time of Petitioner's birth, the
husband, Mr. Brown, was presumed to be the Petitioner's biological father
and was listed as such on Petitioner's birth certificate. Unfortunately, Mr.
Brown died approximately 2 years after Petitioner's birth.
8. Having recently learned of this saga. Petitioner now wishes to assume his
biological mother's maiden name in order to re-establish that connection with
his true bioodline.
9. The whereabouts and identity of Petitioner's biological father remain
unknown.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Honorable Court to set this
matter for hearing and enter an Order directing him to give notice of the filing of this action
and the date and time set for the hearing. After the hearing, it is respectfully requested that
this Honorable Court issue a Decree changing the name of George Stanley Brown to Jorge
Luis Quinnonez.
