AND NOW comes Plaintiff, by and through his counsel, SkarlatosZonarich LLC,
pursuant to Rule 213(a) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, and moves this Honorable
Court for an order of consolidation; and in support thereof, provides the following:
1. Plaintiff Peyton J. Moll is a minor who when two (2) years old suffered
significant burns and permanent injuries on October 13, 2009, such injuries resulting from coffee
being spilled on him at the restaurant known as Chick-Fil-A at Mechanicsburg.
2. There is also presently pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland
County at Case No. 11-7701, Civil Term, an action by Leighann and Shane Moll, husband and
wife, against all of the defendants in this suit to recover for damages arising from the same
occurrence involved in this action. Furthermore, both actions: involve common questions of law
and fact; have the same legal counsel representing the parties; and are in the early stages of
litigation.
3. Absent consolidation, the possibility exists for added expense, duplication of
work and inconsistent verdicts.
4. The consolidation of these two actions will not prejudice the substantial rights of
any of the parties. It will be in the best interests of the parties and the Court to consolidate.
5. Judge Albert H. Masland has previously issued an Order / Rule to Show Cause in
this matter concerning "Plaintiff s Emergency Motion to Compel Discovery and for Sanctions
against Defendants Brian Gibson, individually, and Brian Gibson t/d/b/a Chick-Fil-A at
Mechanicsburg".
6. Plaintiff provided a copy of this Motion to, and sought the concurrence of, Gerard
X. Smith, Esq., and Suzanne K. Mintzer, Esq., counsel for defendants in both actions, and the
response was that they have no objection to Plaintiff s Motion to Consolidate.
7. At the request of the Prothonotary, a separate but nearly identical motion to
consolidate is simultaneously being filed in Case No. 11-7701, Civil Term.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that the Court order consolidation of these cases under
Civil Action No. 11-6037 for purposes of discovery and trial.
