Morgan ("Lisa"), as trustee of the Marital and Residuary Trusts established pursuant to the will of her late father, Robert M. Mumma, Sr. ("Mr. Mumma, Sr."), respectfully moves as follows for dismissal of objections filed by Robert M. Mumma, II ("Robert II") to accounts filed by Lisa with respect to her actions as trustee during the period from July 18, 2010 through December 31, 2012 (the "Accounts"): 1. Pursuant to this Court's November 7, 2013, Order referring Robert II's objections to the Accounts to him for a hearing and report, Auditor Anthony L. DeLuca held hearings on September 29 and September 30, 2014.� 2. At the conclusion of the hearings, Auditor DeLuca stated that he wanted to receive proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law from the parties. It was agreed that within 30 days of the receipt of the transcript that Mrs. Morgan would submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to professional fees, and that Mr. Mumma, II would on that same schedule file proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law on all other issues. Each party ' Robert II is the only objector to the Accounts. � would then have 30 days in which to file responsive proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. (N.T. at 401-02). 3. The court reporter sent the transcript of the second session of the hearing to counsel on October 16, 2014. 4. On November 10, 2014, Lisa filed proposed findings and conclusions regarding the reasonableness of professional fees paid by the Trusts during the period covered by the accounts. 5. As of now, Robert II has filed neither proposed findings and conclusions as to issues other than the reasonableness of professional fees paid by the Trusts nor responsive proposed findings and conclusions regarding the reasonableness of professional fees. Nor has he sought an extension to file such documents. 6. Robert II's unexcused failure to comply with the instructions and time period established by Auditor DeLuca regarding the filing of proposed findings and conclusions constitutes an abandonment and/or waiver of his objections. WHEREFORE, Lisa respectfully requests that the Court dismiss Robert II's objections to and confirm the Accounts as filed. Respect�ully s bmitted, \ / By:—�\,��)�' Ivo V. Otto, III, Esquire George B.
