MOT1:0N OF NINE N1:NETY-NINE, INC., HUMMELSTOWN
QUARRIES, INC., BARBARA McK. MUMMA
AND L1:SA M. MORGAN FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
Nine Ninety-Nine, Inc., Hummelstown Quarries, Inc.,
Barbara McK. Mumma and Lisa M. Morgan, by and through their
undersigned counsel, hereby move this Court pursuant to
Pennsylvania Rule of civil Procedure 4012(a) for a protective
order, and in support thereof avers as follows:
1. On or about, January 28, 1991, Robert M. Mumma, II
("RMM II"), by his counsel, mailed to George W. Hadley, the
1227
r
accountant for Nine Ninety-Nine, Inc., Hummelstown Quarries, Inc.
and affiliated businesses, a subpoena and notice of deposition in
the above-referenced actions. The notice 'also included a request
that Mr. Hadley produce for inspection voluminous documents as
specified in Amended Schedule A attached to the notice. (The
notice and Amended Schedule A are attached hereto as Exhibit A) .
2. The documents referenced in paragraphs 1, 2, 4, and
6 through 10 of Amended Schedule A, inclusive, and all documents
referenced in paragraph 11 of Amended Schedule A with respect to
Nine Ninety-Nine, Inc. and Hummelstown Quarries, Inc., have
already been produced to RMM II in response to a subpoena duces
tecum served upon Mr. Hadley on or about June 22, 1990. RMM II
requested and received copies of all documents referenced in
those paragraphs. As a consequence, production of these
documents to RMM II at this time would be both wasteful and
'duplicative.
3. paragraph 11 of Amended Schedule A additionally
requests production of "[a]ll documents that relate to
pennsy Supply, Inc., Elco Concrete Products, Inc., and all other
wholly- or partly-owned subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries of Nine
Ninety-Nine, Inc.. "None of the subsidiaries or sub-
subsidiaries of Nine Ninety-Nine, Inc. is a party to any of the
above-captioned actions.
4. Among the documents responsive to the overbroad and
burdensome request in paragraph 11 are documents containing
highly sensitive and confidential business and financial data.
See Affidavit of Lisa Mumma Morgan ~ 14 (attached hereto as
1228
Exhibit B); Affidavit of George W. Hadley (attached hereto as
Exhibi t C).
5. RMM II is not an officer, director or shareholder
of either Pennsy Supply, Inc. ("pennsy") or Elco Concrete
Products, Inc. ("Elco"). See Affidavit of Lisa Mumma Morgan ~ 4.
5. Through certain of his own businesses, i.e. Kimbob,
Inc. ("Kimbob"), Adams County Asphalt Co. ("ACA") and MCDermitt,
Inc. (IMcDermitt"), RMM II acts as a direct and substantial
competitor of both Pennsy and Elco. See Affidavit of Lisa M.
Morgan, ~~ 6-13. As a consequence of the status of RMM II as a
competitor, production of confidential business information with
respect to these companies poses the threat of serious and
irreparable harm to the companies. See 'Affidavit of Lisa Mumma
Morgan ~ 14; Affidavit of George W~ Hadley ~ 5.
6. All documents that fall within the scope of
paragraphs 14, 18 and 22 of Amended Schedule A have previously
been produced to RMM II. As a consequence, production of these
documents to RMM II at this time would be both wasteful and
duplicative.
7. Paragraphs 12 and 13 of Amended Schedule A request
production of documents, including a so-called "01d Castle" file,
relating to a proposed sale of 999, pennsy Supply, Inc. and
related assets to an Irish company. Paragraph 16 requests all
documents prepared for or by and all correspondence with Mr.
Joseph Hochreiter, who was retained for purposes of negotiating
with the Irish Company. The documents sought by these paragraphs
are therefore duplicative of those requested in paragraph 3,
1.229
which requests production of "[a]ll documents that refer to or
that were prepared in connection with the proposed sale of the
shares of Nine Ninety-Nine, Inc., and other Mumma family-owned
assets to an Irish company."
8. In addition to being duplicative of documents
requested by RMM II, the documents requested by paragrapbs 12, 13
and 16 are irrelevant to any issues in the above-captioned
action. The Irish company withdrew from all negotiations to
purchase the assets more than seventeen months ago, in large part
due to interference and harassment by RMM II. Moreover, these
requests represent simply another attempt by RMM II, as the owner
of businesses operating in direct competition with pennsy and
Elco, to obtain through abuse of the discovery process highly
sensitive and confidential information regarding the Mumma family
businesses.
9. Paragraph 15 of Amended Schedule A requests
production of "[a]ll documents that relate to Union Quarries,
Inc. from January 1, 1985 to the present." This request fails to
identify the requested documents with the specificity required
under Pa. R. civ. P. 4009. Moreover, the request is so obviously
overbroad that. many of the documents that fall within its rubric
will bear neither the slightest relevance to the instant action
nor any possibility that the information contained therein will
lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.
10. Paragraph 17 of Amended Schedule A requests
production of "[a]ll documents pertaining to any informal or
formal valuation of any of the assets of in the Estate or the
1230
Marital Trust created under the Will of Robert M. Mumma." This
request is overbroad and unduly burdensome in that it requests
valuations without any limitation upon either the date or the
nature of the valuation. Moreover, except for the valuation of
the Union Quarries stock, in ~one of the above-captioned actions
does there exist any material issue as to the valuation of assets
held by the Estate or the Marital Trust. Such valuation, to the
extent that any question arises, is properly an issue for the
Estate accounting before the Orphan's Court.
11. Paragraph 19 requests production of "[a]ll notes
prepared by Mr. Hadley or other members or employees of Lucker,
Kennedy at or in connection with meetings with Mumma family
members since April 1986.. "This request is so obviously
overbroad that many of the documents that fall within its rubric
will bear neither the slightest relevance to the instant action
nor any possibility that the information contained therein will
lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Moreover, all such
notes relating to meetings discussing the MRA Agreements or the
liquidations of Kim and Pennsylvania Supply companies previously
have been produced to RMM II.
12. Paragraph 20 of Amended Schedule A requests
production of "[a]ll documents dated from January 1, 1986 to the
present pertaining to federal or state taxes payable by or
potentially payable by the Estate of Robert M. Mumma, 999 or any
of its subsidiaries, including tax returns." The amount of any
taxes paid by the Estate is plainly without the scope of the
above-captioned action. Moreover, this request represents simply
1.231.
another attempt by RMM II, as the owner of businesses operating
in direct competition with pennsy and E1co, to obtain through
abuse of the discovery process highly sensitive and confidential
information regarding the Mumma family businesses.
13. Paragraph 21"of Amended Schedule A requests
production of "[a]ll documents pertaining to meetings or planned
meetings with Mrs. B. McClure or Mrs. B. McK. Mumma to discuss a
possible sale of E1co Concrete Products, Inc." Any proposed sale
of Elco Concrete Products, Inc. is wholly irrelevant to any
material issue in the above-captioned actions.
14. Each paragraph of Amended Schedule A requests
production of documents which would include documents protected
from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege and/or the
accountant-client privilege.
15. In at least two of the above-captioned actions,
RMM II has alleged that documents and information within the
scope of Amended Schedule A improperly has been withheld from
him. Thus, to require disclosure of that information in
discovery would, in effect, rule upon the merits of RMM II's
claim.
WHEREFORE~ Barbara McK. Mumma, Lisa M. Morgan, Nine
Ninety-Nine, Inc. and Hummelstown Quarries, Inc. respectfully
request that this Court enter an order in the form attached
protecting them from abusive, wateful, burdensome and/or improper
discovery.

AFFXDAVXT OF LXSA MUMMA MORGAN
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANXA
55.
COUNTY OF DAUPHXN
.
.
I, Lisa Mumma Morgan, depose and state as follows:
1. I am Vice-President and General Counsel of Pennsy
Supply, Inc. ("pennsy").
2. Pennsy is a materials supplier which does business
in Dauphin, Cumberland, York, and Perry Counties.
3. Elco Concrete Products, Inc. ("Elco") is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Pennsy. Elco is a materials supplier which
does business in Dauphin and Lebanon Counties.
4. Robert M. Mumma, II ("RMM II") is neither an
officer, a director nor a shareholder of pennsy or Elco.
5. RMM II is the owner of several businesses. Among
these are Adams County Asphalt Co. ("ACA"), Kimbob, Inc.
("Kimbob") and McDermitt, Inc. ("McDermitt"). ACA, in turn, owns
the Fiddlers Elbow quarry near Hershey in eastern Dauphin County,
and McDermitt operates a concrete plant on that site.
6. In numerous instances, and with increasing
frequency, RMM II's businesses have bid against Pennsy or Elco in
direct competition for contracts to supply building materials for
various projects in Dauphin, Cumberland, York, Lebanon and Perry
Counties. In fact, in telephone directories within the area of
competition, advertisements for RMM II's companies often appear
side-by-side with those of pennsy or Elco. See Exhibit D to
1245
.
Motion of Nine Ninety-Nine, Inc., Hummelstown Quarries, Inc.,
Barbara MeR. Mumma and Lisa M. Morgan for Protective Order.
7. with respect to the supply of concrete, RMM II's
businesses have bid in direct competition with pennsy on numerous
projects, including, inter alia, the following: Middletown Area
High School, J.N. Hall Technical Center, Central Dauphin East
High School and a post office facility in Dauphin County.
8. In addition, as a general contractor RMM II has on
at least one occasion, i.e. a major parking facility at the
Hershey Medical Center, refused to allow delivery of pennsy
concrete to the jObsite despite the fact that the subcontractor
had ordered its concrete from Pennsy. RMM II's actions resulted
in the loss of the contract by Pennsy.
9. RMM II's businesses have also bid other concrete
jobs within Pennsy's usual area of operations, including, inter
alia, several jobs for M & M Development Corporation. In fact,
McDermitt was the only supplier allowed to submit bids for the
concrete on the projects.
10. RMM II's businesses also compete with Pennsy in
the aggregate and blacktop markets.
11. RMM II competes indirectly with pennsy for
aggregate and blacktop jobs by bidding, through Rimbob and ACA,
as a general contractor for paving and excavation projects in
Cumberland, Dauphin and Perry Counties. ACA materials are used
on those projects for which RMM II is awarded general contracts.

~246
12. RMM II competes directly with Pennsy in the
blacktop and aggregate markets in instances in which pennsy bids
on projects as a general contractor. ACA has bid directly
against pennsy on jobs for, inter alia, Silver Springs Township,
Middle Paxton Township, Upper Allen Township, Borough of Palmyra
and Borough of Marysville.
13. RMM II's businesses also compete directly with
Elco. McDermitt has bid against Elco for concrete on jobs for,
inter alia, Fort Indiantown Gap and weis Market Addition. on
both of these jobs, McDermitt revised its initial bids in
response to bids made by Elco.
14. The documents that RMM II seeks to obtain from
George W. Hadley, the accountant for both pennsy and Elco,
contain highly sensitive and confidential data, including
production cost information and customer lists. This material
relates solely to the operations of pennsy and Elco. If revealed
to a direct and substantial competitor such as RMM II, this
information could prove extremely damaging to pennsy and Elco.
Among other things, the information would allow RMM II to
calculate precisely the amount which Pennsy, in light of its
prOduction costs, would need to bid for a given job. The
information would also aid RMM II in penetrating the market
shares of pennsy and Elco.

AFFIDAVIT OF GEORGE W HADLEY, JR.
STATE OF NEW YORK
ss.
COUNTY OF ERIE
I, George W Hadley, Jr., depose and state as follows:
1. I am a certified public accountant with the firm of Lucker,
Kennedy & Felmeden in Buffalo, New York.
2. I am the certified public accountant for Nine Ninety-Nine, Inc.
("999") and the subsidiaries and sub-subsidiaries thereof, including pennsy
Supply, Inc. ("pennsy") and Elco Concrete Products, Inc. ("Elco").
3. I have in my possession approximately fifty thousand documents
relating to the financial and business affairs of 999, Pennsy and Elco.
4. The documents in my possession contain information with respect
to Pennsy and Elco relating to, inter alia, the following:
a. customer lists;
b. volume of business by customer;
c. volume of sales, in dollars and quantities of products, by
individual pennsy or Elco location or operation;
d. profitability by location or operation;
e. pricing by location, products and quantities;
f. production costs by location or operation;
g. equipment by location or operation;
h. raw material reserves;
i. selling prices of products;
j. compensation arrangements for key employees.
:1249
5. The information referenced in paragraph 4 represents
confidential and highly sensitive business information with respect to Nine
Ninety-Nine, Inc. and subsidiaries. Based on my experience, I am confident
that such information would be greatly desired by a competitor of the businesses,
useful in competing with the company and subsidiaries, and, if produced to a
competitor, would raise the possibility of substantial prejudice to Nine
Ninety-Nine, Inc. and subsidiaries future business activities.
Further this affiant saith naught.
