N
that the hearing "will probably take a full day or possibly up to a day and a half", the
hearing originally reset for 10 July 2014 is continued. In the place of the hearing on 10
July 2014 the court will conduct a prehearing conference with counsel at 1:30 p.m.
in the jury deliberation room of Courtroom Number Six, assuming the jury has
completed its work, otherwise the court will relocate the conference.
The parties shall submit, prior to the prehearing conference, but no later than the
close of business on 7 July 2014, a prehearing memorandum to the Court Administrator
and serve on all other parties a copy of same. The memorandum shall set forth in the
following order:
1. A brief statement of the basic facts as Petitioner and/or Respondent
perceives them.
2. A statement as to the principle issue(s) to be decided by the court.
3. A summary of legal issues regarding the admissibility of testimony, exhibits or
any other matter for use at the hearing together with any legal authorities
relied upon for their admissions and/or use expected.
4. The identity and short statement of testimony for each witness any party
expects to calL
5. A list of exhibits with a brief identification of each in a columnar format.
6. The current status of any settlement negotiations including any statement as
to whether an alternative resolution option has been sought.
As this hearing was set to be heard in the month of June, the above information
for the pretrial memorandum will not be unnecessarily burdensome.
A tentative date for the rescheduled hearing in this matter is for 6 August 2014
at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom Number Six of the Cumberland County Courthouse,
Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The advanced scheduling of the prehearing conference may
allow the court to alter the hearing schedule as necessary to accommodate additional
time. At the prehearing conference the following shall be considered:
a. The order of testimony.
b. The narrowing of issues.
c. The entry of prehearing order to include time limits.
d. The special scheduling of any witness either party intends to call.
e. The possibility of obtaining admissions of fact and documents which will
avoid unnecessary proof.
f. Any such other matters as may aide in the disposition of the case.
2
The court shall make an order reciting the action taken at the conference, any
agreements made by the parties, and limiting the issues for the hearing to those not
disposed by admissions or agreements. Such order shall control the subsequent
course of action unless modified at the hearing to prevent manifest injustice.

Dear Marie,
Thanks for speaking with me today with respect to the above captioned Orphan's Court matter, currently set for hearing
on July 10, 2014 at 1:30pm before the Honorable Thomas A. Placey.The luly 10 hearing date was set by Judge Placey
after Attorney Roberts requested, with my concurrence, a continuance from the originally set hearing date of June 18,
2014, due to a conflict.
I spoke with you today(with Attorney Robert's concurrence)to request that Judge Placey consider, if his schedule would
permit, starting the Hearing earlier on July 10, 2014 or, a�ternatively, continuing it over to Friday,July 12, 2014. This
request was necessitated for two (2) reasons. First, because 1 believe, based upon the number of witnesses that I alone
will be calling, that the Hearing will probably take a full day or possibly, up to a day and a half. Second, because the
Petitioner lives in Florida, I am trying to avoid the cost and inconvenience to Ms.Stogsdili of making multiple trips to
Pennsylvania to attend the Hearing.
I understand that Judge Placey personally set the Hearing date and that he did so in an effort to avoid delaying the
Hearing until August, which I appreciate. However, unless the amount of time set for the July 10 Hearing can be
extended, I fear that we will be having the second day of Hearing in August anyway. Unfortunately, that would
necessitate a second trip and concomitant expense for Ms. Stogsdill.
I did not discuss moving the Hearing to August with Attorney Roberts, but I have copied him on this email and would ask
that he promptly notify the Court should he object to having the Hearing in August in the event that Judge Placey is
unable to accommodate my request for additional time in July. Alternatively, that he notify the Court of any dates in
August in which he is unavailable.The only date in August that I am unavailable is August 22, 2014 as I already attached
in Dauphin County for Hearing on another case. Otherwise, I will make myself available as the Court's calendar permits.
I apologize to the Court for the need to make this request, but in doing so, I hope to be able to avoid multiple Hearing
dates that would be spread out over time. Thank you for your consideration and courtesy in this matter. Best regards.
