move violently within the cabin of the vehicle.
22. Zampogna's Cadillac Escalade was "totaled."

23. It is believed, therefore averred that Mrs. Eckenrode's Dodge Durango was also

with Zampogna caused Zampogna's air bag to deploy striking him directly in his
face.
25. The force created by the impact resulting from Mrs. Eckenrode's head-on collision
with Zampogna caused Zampogna's body substantial trauma.
26. The force created by the impact resulting from Mrs. Eckenrode's head-on collision

chest as the seatbelt he was wearing restricted his travel forward.

OBJECTIONS TO SUBPOENA PURSUANT TO RULE 4009.21
The Plaintiff, R. Christopher Zampogna, objects to the proposed subpoena that is
attached to these objections for the following reasons: 1) The documents requested in the
subpoena are irrelevant and are not likely to lead to any admissible evidence; 2) The documents
requested in the subpoena are considered privileged and confidential; and 3) The amount of
documents requested in the subpoena place an undue burden on the individual subpoenaed in
time and expense. Specifically, Dr. Edward Batista is a Psychologist, which has no relevance to
the physical ailments negligently caused by the Defendant, Jamie Eckenrode. Further, Plaintiff at
no time raised a claim for mental anguish or alleged damages of a mental nature, but only
physical ailments which affect the Plaintiff following the accident.
