CUMBERLAND COUNTY,

No. 05-1122
DEFENDANT, ROONEY L. FELMLEE'S PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO
PLAINTIFFS' AMENDED COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Defendant, Rooney L. Felmlee, by and through his attorney, Gregory
E. Cassimatis, Esquire and files the following Preliminary Objections to Plaintiffs' Amended
Complaint:
1. PETITION TO STRIKE PARAGRAPHS 39(c), (f) AND (2) AND "INCLUDED BUT
NOT LIMITED TO" FROM PARAGRAPHS 39 OF PLAINTIFFS' AMENDED
COMPLAINT
1. Plaintiffs filed a Complaint against McDonald's Corporation, Richard A. Woodruff,
Sr. and Richard A. Woodruff, Jr. on or about March 3, 2005. A true and correct copy
of said Complaint is attached hereto and made a part hereof and marked Exhibit "A".
2. Prior to the filing an Answer by the original Defendants, a Stipulation to Amend the
Complaint was filed by Plaintiffs' counsel and counsel for the Defendants. A true and
correct copy of said Stipulation is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked
Exhibit "B".
3. On or about May 27, 2005, an Amended Complaint was filed by Plaintiffs adding the
moving Defendant, Rooney L. Felmlee as a Defendant. A true and correct copy of
said Amended Complaint is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked as
Exhibit "C".
4. Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint was served on the Moving Defendant, Rooney L.
Felmlee (hereinafter referred to as the "Moving Defendant"), on June 15, 2005.
5. Plaintiffs' Complaint involves an alleged slip and fall accident which occurred on or
about February 13, 2004 at a McDonald's restaurant at 1014 Wesley Drive in
Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. See Paragraphs 10 and 3 of Plaintiffs' Amended
Complaint attached as Exhibit "C".
Plaintiff alleges that the Moving Defendant is in the business of supplying snow and
ice removal on the premises in question. See Paragraph 6 of Plaintiffs' Amended
Complaint attached as Exhibit "C"
Plaintiffs allege that the Moving Defendant provides snow and ice removal for the
premises in question pursuant to a written contract attached to Plaintiffs' Amended
Complaint. See Paragraph 8 of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint attached as Exhibit
"C"
8. Plaintiffs allege that the negligence of the Moving Defendant includes, but is not
limited to, "failing to maintain the premises and all walkways and paths free and clear
of obstructions, specifically including ice thereby imposing an unreasonable risk of
injury to Plaintiff and other guests." See Paragraph 39(a) of Plaintiffs' Complaint.
Paragraph 39(c) of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint alleges that the moving Defendant
was negligent in "failing to maintain appropriate lighting at the premises."
10. Paragraph 39(f) alleges that the Moving Defendant was negligent due to "all other
negligence that may be pointed out through the discovery process or at trial."
11. Paragraph 39(g) of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint alleges that the Moving Defendant
was negligent in "violating the ordinances of Cumberland County in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pertaining to maintenance of the premises and snow
and ice removal."
12. Paragraph 39(c) should be stricken as a matter of law as moving Defendant is alleged
to have been responsible for snow and ice removal and paragraph 39(c) alleges
negligence for failing to maintain appropriate lighting at the premises.
13. Paragraph 39(f) and (g) are insufficient statements as a matter of law and should be
stricken from the Plaintiffs' Complaint. Said Paragraphs contain nonspecific,
boilerplate allegations of negligence which are the proper subject of a Motion to
Strike. See, Connor v. Allegheny General Hospital, 501 Pa. 306, 461 A.2d 600
(1983).
14. Similarly, the language "...but is not limited to..." contained in Paragraph 39 of
Plaintiffs' Complaint should be stricken, as a nonspecific, boilerplate allegation of
negligence and in violation of the pleading rules of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania which require a party to state the material facts upon which their
Complaint is premised. See Pa.R.C.P. 1019(a).
15. The Defendant is prejudiced by the "but not limited to" language contained in
Paragraph 39 of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint since its presence will allow the
Plaintiff to avoid the bar of the statute of limitations and assert claims at a later date
which are not time barred. See Connor v. Alle eny General Hospital, 501 Pa. 306,
461 A.2d 600 (1983).
16. Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1028(a)(2), it is proper to strike from the pleading averments
which fail to conform to law or rule of court.
WHEREFORE, Defendant, Rooney L. Felmlee respectfully requests that this Honorable
Court strike Paragraphs 39(c), (f) and (g) and strike the language "but is not limited" from
Paragraph 39 of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint. In the alternative, Plaintiffs shall file a
more specific pleading.
Respectfully Submitted,

MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS' MOTION
TO COMPEL DISCOVERY AGAINST DEFENDANTS
I. FACTS
Plaintiff incorporates by reference the facts set forth in the foregoing Motion to Compel
Discovery, as though fully set forth herein at length.
II. ARGUMENT
This case involves a claim by Plaintiffs resulting in a slip and fall against Defendants. As set
forth in the attached Motion and accompanying Exhibits, Plaintiffs have propounded Supplemental
Requests for Production of Documents upon Defendants, Woodrich Enterprises, Inc., Rooney L.
Felmee, Richard A. Woodruff, Sr., and Richard A. Woodruff, Jr. These Supplemental Requests were
served upon Defendants on March 10, 2006. Defendants have not sought a Protective Order nor
responded to Plaintiffs' discovery requests.
ATTORNEY FOR PLAINTIFF
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY
The mandates in Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure are clear on this point. Rule
4006(a)(2) provides:
Each interrogatory shall be answered fully and completely
unless objected to, in which event the reasons for the
objection shall be state in lieu of an answer. [...] The answering
party shall serve a copy of the answers, and objections, if any,
within thirty (30) days after the service of the interrogatories.
Pa.R.C.P. 4006(a)(2). Defendants, Woodrich Enterprises, Inc., Rooney L. Felmee, Richard A.
Woodruff, Sr., and Richard A. Woodruff, Jr., have clearly failed to respond to Plaintiffs'
Supplemental Requests for Production of Documents within the thirty (30) days mandated by
Rule 4006 (a)(2).
Rule 4009.12(a) provides:
The parry upon whom the request is served shall within thirty
(30) days after the 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. Pa.R.C.P. 4009.12(a).
Again, Defendants, Woodrich Enterprises, Inc., Rooney L. Felmee, Richard A. Woodruff, Sr.,
and Richard A. Woodruff, Jr.'s failure to respond is non-compliant with the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure.
By failing to respond to Plaintiffs' Supplemental Requests for Production of Documents
propounded by Plaintiffs, Defendants, Woodrich Enterprises, Inc., Rooney L. Felmee, Richard A.
Woodruff, Sr., and Richard A. Woodruff, Jr., is acting in direct contravention to the Pennsylvania
Rules of Civil Procedure. For this reason, Plaintiffs' respectfully request that this Court enter an
Order compelling Defendants, Woodrich Enterprises, Inc., Rooney L. Felmee, Richard A. Woodruff,
Sr., and Richard A. Woodruff, Jr., to respond to the Supplemental Requests for Production of
Documents propounded by Plaintiffs, within ten (10) days of the date of this Order or suffer sanctions
upon application to the Court.
