FIEMAN, : CIVIL ACTION - LAW Defendant : IN DIVORCE STATEMENT OF INTENTION TO PROCEED TO THE COURT: Plaintiff, Michele A. Fieman, intends to proceed with the above captioned divorce matter. Date: 0 d WOJ gCnelly , Jr., Esq laintif f EXPLANATORY COMMENT The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has promulgated new Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 governing the termination of inactive cases and amended Rule of Judicial Administration 1901. Two aspects of the recommendation merit comment. 1. Rule of Civil Procedure New Rule of Civil Procedure 230.2 has been promulgated to govern the termination of inactive cases within the scope of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure. The termination of these cases for inactivity was previously governed by Rule of Judicial Administration 1901 and local rules promulgated pursuant to it. New Rule 230.2 is tailored to the needs of civil actions. It provides a complete procedure and a uniform statewide practice, preempting local rules. This rule was promulgated in response to the decision of the Supreme Court in Shop v. Eagle, 551 Pa, 360,710 A.2d 1104 (1998) in which the court held that "prejudice to the defendant as a result of delay in prosecution is required before a case may be dismissed pursuant to local rules implementing Rule of Judicial Administration 1901." Rule of Judicial Administration 1901(b) hoe been amended to accommodate the new rule of civil procedure. The general policy of the prompt disposition of matters set forth in subdivision (a) of that rule continues to be applicable. II Inactive Cases The purpose of Rule 230.2 is to eliminate inactive cases from the judicial system. The process is initiated by the court. After giving notice of intent to terminate an action for inactivity, the course of the procedure is with the parties. If the parties do not wish to pursue the case, they will take no action and "the Prothonotary shall enter an order as of course terminating the matter with prejudice for failure to prosecute." If a party wishes to pursue the matter, he or she will file a notice of intention to proceed and the action shall continue. a. Where the action has been terminated If the action is terminated when a party believes that it should not have been terminated, that party may proceed under Ruie230(d) for relief from the order of termination. An example of such an occurrence might be the termination of a viable action when the aggrieved party did not receive the notice of intent to terminate and thus did not timely file the notice of intention to proceed. The timing of the filing of the petition to reinstate the action is important. If the petition is filed within thirty days of the entry of the order of termination on the docket, subdivision (d)(2) provides that the court must grant the petition and reinstate the action. If the petition is filed later than the thirty-day period, subdivision (d)(3) requires that the plaintiff must make a show in to the court that the petition was promptly filed and that there is a reasonable explanation or legitimate excuse both for the failure to file the notice of intention to proceed prior to the entry of the order of termination on the docket and for the failure to file the petition within the thirty-day period under subdivision (d)(2). B. Where the action has not been terminated An action which has not been terminated but which continues upon the filing of a notice of intention to proceed may have been the subject of inordinate delay. In such an instance, the aggrieved party may pursue the remedy of a common law non pros which exits independently of termination under Rule 230.2. G o ? ? r f ?rr s -n F q p ti??? MICHELE A.

FIEMAN, : CIVIL ACTION - LAW Defendant : IN DIVORCE Stipulation for the Entry of Qualified Domestic Relations Order The parties, Michele A. Fieman, Plaintiff, and Aaron R. Fieman, Defendant, do hereby stipulate as follows: Aaron R. Fieman, date of birth October 27, 1972 (Social Security Number 169- 52-3861), hereinafter referred to as "Participant" is a participant in the Coventry Health Care Retirement Savings Plan described below (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). 2. The current and last known mailing address of Participant is 4832 East Trindle Road, Apartment 3, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050. 3. Michele A. Fieman, Plaintiff, date of birth October 19, 1970 (Social Security Number 206-64-8535), hereinafter referred to as "Alternate Payee," is the spouse of the Participant and has raised claims for, inter alia, equitable distribution of marital property pursuant to the Pennsylvania Divorce Code, 23 Pa.C.S. Section 3101, et seq. 4. The current and last known mailing address of Alternate Payee is 1152 Brockton Circle, New Cumberland, Pennsylvania 17070. 5. This order applies to the following plan: Coventry Health Care Retirement Savings Plan. 6. A portion of the Participant's account in the Plan is marital property subject to distribution by this Court. 7. The parties were married on April 1, 2000 and a Decree in Divorce was issued on May 28, 2008. 8. Alternate Payee shall receive the lump sum of Twenty-Two Thousand ($22,000.00) Dollars from the Participant's account. The form of benefit shall be a lump sum payment. This sum shall be allocated to Wife as of the date of qualification of the Order and shall include all interest and earnings on that amount from that date until the date of distribution. 9. The distribution to Alternate Payee from the Plan shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following the Plan's determination that this order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. 10. Participant's death shall have no effect on payment of Alternate Payee's benefit under the Plan. The Alternate Payee is at all times to be deemed the surviving spouse for purposes of the Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity until this Order effectively assigns the funds to Alternate Payee as identified in paragraph 8 above. 11. In the event the Alternate Payee dies before the Alternate Payee's benefit is paid, the benefit shall be paid in accordance with applicable Plan provisions regarding payments to beneficiaries, including payments when no beneficiary is designated. The Alternate Payee shall be entitled to name a beneficiary (or beneficiaries) to receive the unpaid balance of the benefits. The death of Alternate Payee before the Plan determines that this order is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order shall not affect the right of Alternate Payee's beneficiary to benefits from the Plan. 12. The parties shall promptly notify the Plan of any change in their addresses from those set forth in this Order. 13. Participant and Alternate Payee shall each be responsible for his or her own federal, state, and local income and other taxes attributable to any and all payments from the Plan which are received by Participant and Alternate Payee respectively. The Plan shall provide to Participant and Alternate Payee in accordance with its customary procedures such information as is normally provided to participants in the Plan with respect to the taxability of distributions from the Plan. 14. Nothing contained in this Order shall be construed to require any plan or plan administrator: (a) to provide to the Alternate Payee any type of form of benefit or any option not otherwise available to the Participant under the Plan, or (b) to pay any benefits to the Alternate Payee which are required to be paid to another alternate payee under another order determined by the Plan Administrator to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order before this Order is determined by the Plan Administrator to be a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. 15. It is the intent of the parties and the court that the provisions of this Order operate as an effective assignment of the Participant's interest in the Plan under both federal and state laws, for all purposes, and constitute a valid Qualified Domestic Relations Order in compliance with Section 414 (p) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 206 (d) (3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended by the Retirement Equity Act of 1984. 16. The parties intend and agree that the terms of this Stipulation shall be approved, adopted and entered as an Order of Court. 17. The Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, shall retain jurisdiction to amend this Order, but only for the purpose of establishing it or maintaining it as a Qualified Domestic Relations Order; provided, however, that no such amendment shall require the Plan to provide any form of benefit or any option not otherwise provided by the Plan, and further provided that no such amendment or right of the Court to so amend will invalidate this Order. 18. A certified copy of this Order shall be served upon the Plan. Said Order shall take effect immediately upon approval of the Order by the Plan and shall remain in effect until further Order of Court.
