ROBERT E. WOLF, M.D. and COSMETIC SURGERY BY WOLF, P.C., Defendant(s) 2012-6704 Civil Action - Law MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY Plaintiff, Sandra Bowman ("Ms. Bowman"), by and through her attorneys, HANDLER, HENNING & ROSENBERG, LLP, hereby moves this Honorable Court to compel Defendant, Robert E. Wolf ("Defendant"), to file complete and responsive Answers to Plaintiffs' Second Set of Interrogatories. In support thereof: 1. Ms. Bowman is an adult individual currently residing at 1102 Columbus Avenue, Apt. 9, Lemoyne, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 2. Defendant is, upon information and belief, an adult individual with a business address of 1857 Center Street, Camp Hill, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 3: Plaintiff has retained Stephen G. Held, Esq., of HANDLER, HENNING, & ROSENBERG, LLP, as legal counsel for a liability suit against Defendant. 4. Defendant has retained Laurie B. Tilghman, Esq., of THE LAW OFFICES OF KENNETH S. O'NEILL, 7535 Windsor Drive, Suite 101-B, Allentown, PA, 18195; phone number (610) 398-5492; fax number (610) 398-5481. 5. On or about January 31, 2013, Plaintiff filed her Complaint in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County. 6. On or about March 8, 2013, Defendant, filed an Answer and New Matter and New Matter Cross-Claims, to which Plaintiffs replied on March 14, 2013. 7. On or about June 11, 2014, Plaintiff's counsel sent, via first-class United States mail, Discovery in the form of Interrogatories ("Discovery Requests") to Defendant. 8. Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. No. 4006(2), the party answering Interrogatories "shall serve a copy of the answers, and objections if any, within 30 days after service ...." 9. Pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. No. 4009.12(a), "[t]he party upon whom the request is served shall within thirty days after service of the request (1) serve an answer including objections to each numbered paragraph in the request, and (2) produce or make available to the party submitting the request those documents and things described in the request to which there is no objection." 10. Defendant's responses to Plaintiff's Discovery Requests should have been answered on or before July 11, 2014. 11. On September 8, 2014, approximately two months after Defendant's original responses were due, Plaintiff's counsel sent Defendant's counsel a letter requesting responses 2 to Plaintiff's Discovery Requests or an explanation as to why such response had not been and could not be provided. A copy of Plaintiff's Letter is attached as Exhibit "A". 12. Plaintiff did not receive a response. 13. Plaintiff had contacted Defense Counsel and reminded her to provide Discovery responses, which no responses were received. 14. Plaintiff believes and, therefore, avers that, in accordance with Pa. R.C.P. No. 4005(c), the Discovery Requests would not cause unreasonable annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, burden, or expense to any person or party. 15. Plaintiff believes and, therefore, avers that the information that could be gained by responses to her Discovery Requests is necessary and vital in order to properly litigate this case. 16. As of the date of this Motion to Compel, Plaintiff has yet to receive a single response to her Discovery Requests directed to Defendant, despite the fact that approximately five months have elapsed since the service of said Discovery Requests. 17. Plaintiffs counsel has contacted Defendant's legal counsel, Laurie B. Tilghman, Esq., on several occasions regarding this matter and as yet has not been able to reach any agreement on this matter. 18. To complete discovery and move this action forward expeditiously, Plaintiff respectfully submits this Motion to Compel Discovery. 19. Assuming, arguendo, that this Honorable Court does not grant this Motion, Plaintiff respectfully requests a discovery conference. 20. This matter has not yet been assigned to a Judge for disposition. 3 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Sandra Bowman, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court issue an Order compelling Defendant, Robert E. Wolf, to file responses to Plaintiff's Discovery in the form of Interrogatories within ten (10) days of the date of such an Order. Dated: Dec.
