Defendant Greenlin, Inc., is a Pennsylvania business corporation with a registered place of business located at 193 Cedar Avenue, Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17057. 3. By agreement dated June 15, 2003, and accepted by Defendant on August 21, 2003 (hereinafter "Agreement"), Plaintiffs entered into an agreement with Defendant whereby Defendant agreed to deliver and install a six-foot high white solid privacy PVC fence for the total price of $7,800.00. A copy of said agreement is attached hereto, incorporated herein by reference, and marked as Exhibit A. COUNT I BREACH OF CONTRACT 4. Paragraphs 1 through 3 are incorporated herein by reference. 5. Defendant delivered but failed to properly install the six-foot high white solid privacy PVC fence in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. 6. Defendant failed to perform installation of the fence in a good and workmanlike manner, which constitutes a breach of the Agreement. 7. Defendant's failure to perform the Agreement in a good and workmanlike manner has resulted in the fence being extremely unstable and unsuitable for its intended use. 8. As a result of Defendant's failure to perform the Agreement in a good and workmanlike manner, Plaintiffs are required to retain the services of another contractor to correct the problems created by Defendant's faulty installation and to reinstall the fence in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. 9. It will cost Plaintiffs in excess of $4,850.00 to repair Defendant's deficient installation of the fence. 10.

Defendant accepted the terms of the Agreement by signature on August 21, 2003. 14. Defendant completed installation of the fence, albeit a faulty installation, on or about October 2, 2003. 15. Plaintiffs complained to Defendant on numerous occasions subsequent to October 2,2003, that they were experiencing problems with the fence, including the deficiencies claimed herein as a result of the deficient installation prior to the expiration of the one (1) year warranty period, thereby placing Defendant on notice of defects during the warranty period. 16. Defendant has failed to correct the problems resulting from the deficient installation of the fence in accordance with the terms of the warranty contained in the Agreement. 17. As a result of Defendant's failure to satisfy the warranty contained in the Agreement, Plaintiffs have suffered damages in excess of $4,850.00. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demands judgment against the Defendant in the amount of $4,850.00, together with interest, costs, and attorney fees, as this Court may deem appropriate.

Defendant has violated the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law ("UTPCPL") by failing to comply with the terms of the written warranty given to Plaintiffs at the time the contract for the purchase of goods and services was made. See, 73 P.S. ~201- 2(4 )(xiv). 20. Defendant has violated the UTPCPL by making improvement to real property of a nature and quality inferior to the standard of that agreed to in writing. See, 73 P.S. ~201- 2(4)(xvi). 21. As a result of Defendant's aforementioned violations of the UTPCPL, Plaintiffs have suffered actual damages in excess of $4,850.00. 22. Under the UTPCPL, Plaintiffs are entitled to an award equal to three (3) times the actual damages sustained, plus costs and attorney fees. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs demand judgment against Defendant in the amount of $14,550.00, together with interest, costs, and attorney fees, as this Court may deem appropriate.

Mr. Gellatly has stated that he warned Mrs. Brown about the instability of the fill that would be holding the fence posts. He cautioned her that settling of the fill was inevitable. Mrs. Brown stated that she understood. Mr. Gellatly will straighten the posts, however, Mrs. Brown stated that she must be present while the work occurred. Work crews have stopped by on several occasions, but Mrs. Brown was not home. Mr. Gellatly requests that a list of several acceptable times be provided, in writing, and he will advise: Mrs. Brown at which time his work crew will fix the posts. Mr. Gellatly very much wishes to correct the current problem. Also, please be advised that the labor warranty will expire on or about August 17, 2004. Any further settling that occurs after this date will not be Greenlin's responsibility. Please feel free to contact me at any time about this issue.

Plaintiffs' Complaint brings claims against Defendant under theories of breach of contract, breach of warranty, and violation of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law stemming from Defendant's installation of a fence on Plaintiffs' property. 2. Plaintiffs filed a Petition dated March 3. 2005 requesting the appointment of arbitrators to hear this matter. 3. By Order of Court dated March 9, 2005, Frances DelDuca, Esquire (Chairperson), Glenn R. Davis, Esquire, and Craig Diehl, Esquire, were appointed to serve as arbitrators in this matter. 4. By letter dated March 22, 2005, Plaintiffs' counsel requested Attorney DelDuca to schedule the arbitration for late May, 2005 so as to afford the parties an opportunity to resolve this matter without proceeding with the arbitration. A copy of said letter is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 5. By notice dated March 29, 2005, the Arbitration Hearing was scheduled for May 19, 2005 at 1 :30 p.m. A copy of said notice is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 6. Because of a scheduling error, Plaintiffs are not available for the Arbitration Hearing scheduled for May 19, 2005 as they will be out of town on that date. 7. Attorney DelDuca has refused Plaintiffs' request for a continuance and has indicated that it will be necessary to file a motion with the Court to approve the continuance. A copy of Attorney DelDuca's letter dated April 21, 2005 is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit C. 8. In the interim, Plaintiffs and Defendant have continued their efforts to reach a settlement of the claims set forth in Plaintiffs' Complaint. 9. The parties have reached a tentative agreement settling this matter, which necessitates continuing the Arbitration Hearing to a later date so as to afford Defendant the opportunity to perform certain work in accordance with the terms agreed upon by Plaintiffs and Defendant. 10. The Defendant does not contest this motion requesting a continuance of the Arbitration Hearing. WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Honorable Court grant a minimum sixty (60) day continuance of the Arbitration Hearing currently scheduled for May 19. 2005.
