v.
CIVIL ACTION - LA W
TIMOTHY HOLTZMAN and WEST
SHORE SUNSET DISTRIBUTORS, INC.,
d/b/a EAGLE OAK FURNITURE, INC.,
Defendants
NO. 01-3426 CIVIL TERM
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS
AND NOW, comes Defendant Timothy Holtzman, by and through his attorneys,
Cunningham & Chernicoff, P.C., and files his Preliminary Objections to the Complaint filed by
Cumberland Publishers, Inc. d/b/a The Sentinel, and in support thereof avers as follows:
PARTIES
1. Cumberland Publishers, Inc., d/b/a The Sentinel is a Pennsylvania corporation with
a principal place of business at 457 East North Street, P.O. Box 130, Carlisle, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania 17013.
2. Named Defendant, Timothy Holtzman ("Defendant Holtzman"), is an adult
individual currently residing at 220 North York Street, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania 17055.
3. Named Defendant West Shore Sunset Distributors, Inc., d/b/a Eagle Oak
Furniture, Inc. ("Eagle Oak") is a Pennsylvania corporation formerly having its registered office
at 2320 North Second Street, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania 17110.
BACKGROUND
4. On or about June 25, 2001, Plaintiff filed its Complaint against the above named
Defendants for the collection of money allegedly owed by Defendants to Plaintiff.
5. In its Complaint, Plaintiff generally alleges that one or both of the Defendants
entered into either a written or oral agreement with the Plaintiff whereby Plaintiff agreed to
publish advertisements for the benefit of Defendant West Shore Sunset Distributors, Inc.
6. Plaintiff's Complaint does not identify which of the Defendants is party to the
alleged contract or agreement with Plaintiff, nor does the Complaint attach a copy of the alleged
contract or state with specificity the material terms of such alleged contract.
COUNT I
INSUFFICIENT SEE OF A PLEADING - Pa.R.C.P.I028(a)(3)
7. Paragraphs 1 through 6 are incorporated herein by reference as if more fully set
forth.
8. Plaintiff has failed to inform Defendant Holtzman with sufficient accuracy and
completeness, the specific basis upon which recovery is sought. Specifically, paragraph 6 of
Plaintiffs Complaint states that the Plaintiff published advertisements for one of the Defendants
in its publication. However, such averment fails to state which ofthe Defendants received the
benefit of the publication. The averment also fails to state which of the Defendants allegedly
made the request.
9. Plaintiffs Complaint also fails to set forth whether the alleged agreement or
request for publication referred to therein and allegedly made by one or both of the Defendants
was oral or written, and if written, where such agreement may be inspected and copied.
10. Plaintiffs Complaint also fails to set forth with sufficient specificity the terms of
the alleged agreement or "request" in order to establish the grounds of the alleged liability by
either or both Defendants.
11. If Plaintiff is alleging that a contract or agreement exists (a fact that cannot be
determined from the face of Plaintiffs Complaint and is therefore expressly denied for purposes
of this pleading) by and between Plaintiff and Defendant Eagle Oak, and that such contract or
agreement forms the basis of its Complaint, then Plaintiff also seeks to "pierce the corporate
veil" of Eagle Oak in order to recover damages from Defendant Holtzman, individually.
Plaintiff has failed to plead, however, the elements necessary to "pierce the corporate veil", as
demonstrated by the lack of specific facts in the Plaintiff's Complaint evidencing same.
12. In the absence of an agreement between Plaintiff and Defendant Holtzman,
individually, Plaintiff cannot sustain its cause of action against Defendant Timothy Holtzman
unless it pleads the elements necessary to pierce the corporate veil. Plaintiff has failed to plead
the elements necessary to pierce the corporate veil.
13. Because of the failure of Plaintiff's Complaint to inform Defendant Holtzman with
accuracy and completeness, of the specific basis upon which recovery is sought, Defendant
Holtzman is unable to adequately respond to the allegations raised by the Plaintiff in its
Complaint.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Timothy Holtzman, respectfully requests that this Honorable
Court dismiss the Plaintiff's Complaint as it pertains to Defendant Timothy Holtzman,
individually, with prejudice and further award Defendant Timothy Holtzman all such other relief
as is proper and just.
COUNT II
FAILURE OF A PLEADING TO CONFORM TO LAW OR RULE OF COURT-
Pa.R.C.P.I028(a){2)
14. Paragraphs 1 through 13 are incorporated herein by reference as ifmore fully set
forth.
15. Plaintiff's Complaint references a "request" that was allegedly made by one or
both of the Defendants to Plaintiff for the publication of certain advertisements. Again,
Plaintiff's Complaint fails to identify, with sufficient specifically, the nature of the alleged
"request", whether it was oral or written, who made the alleged request and when such "request"
was allegedly made.
16. The Plaintiff has also failed to provide in its Complaint any specification of what
"advertisements" were purchased including the nature and substance of the alleged
advertisements. No copies of such advertisements are attached to Plaintiff's Complaint.
17. The Plaintiff has failed to state in its Complaint the date(s) that the
"advertisements" were allegedly purchased.
18. Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 10 19(a) the material facts on which a cause of action or
defense is raised shall be stated in a concise and summary form.
19. Because the Plaintiff has failed to specifically plead the advertisements allegedly
purchased and/or the services allegedly provided by the Plaintiff, and the nature and timing of
the alleged agreement, contract, or "request" forming the basis of Plaintiffs Complaint,
Defendants cannot properly investigate or respond to Plaintiff s claim.
20. Plaintiff has also failed to attach to its Complaint a copy of any allegedly written
requests which forms the basis of the Plaintiff s cause of action.
21. Pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. 1019(h) a pleading shall state specifically whether any claim
or defense set forth therein is based upon a writing. If so, the pleader shall attach a copy of the
writing, or the material part thereof, but if the writing or copy is not available to them, it is
sufficient to so state, together with the reason, and to set forth the substance of the writing.
22. The alleged "request" allegedly made by one or both of the Defendants in this
matter is material to the cause of action and thus, in accordance with Pa.R.c.P. 1019(h), must be
attached as an exhibit to the Plaintiffs Complaint.
23. The Plaintiff has neither attached copies of the writings upon which it bases its
purported allegations for breach of contract, nor has Plaintiff offered an explanation that its
claim is based on oral communications.
24. Because Plaintiff has failed to attach copies of the purported writings upon which
Plaintiff bases its cause of action, Plaintiff s Complaint fails to conform to law or rule of Court.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Timothy Holtzman, respectfully requests that this Honorable
Court dismiss the Plaintiffs Complaint as it pertains to Defendant Timothy Holtzman,
individually, with prejudice and further award Defendant Timothy Holtzman all such other relief
as is proper and just.
COUNT III
DEMUR - PURSUANT TO Pa.R.C.P.I028(a)(1)
LACK OF JURISDICTION OVER DEFENDANT
25. Paragraphs I through 24 are incorporated herein by reference as if more fully set
forth.
26. Plaintiff, Cumberland Publishers, Inc. d/b/a The Sentinel, filed its Complaint in the
Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania against Timothy Holtzman at
West Shore Sunset Distributors, Inc., d/b/a Eagle Oak Furniture, Inc.
27. In its Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that it published advertisements in its
publication, presumably, for the benefit of Defendant West Short Sunset Distributors, Inc., d/b/a
Eagle Oak Furniture, Inc.
28. Timothy Holtzman, individually, is not a party to any contract, agreement,
understanding, or request to or with the Plaintiff which forms the basis of the Plaintiffs cause of
action as set forth in its Complaint.
29. The Complaint filed by Plaintiff does not allege that Timothy Holtzman,
individually, is party to any contract, agreement, understanding, or request in connection with
Plaintiffs publication of advertisements for the benefit of Defendant West Shore Sunset
Distributors, Inc., d/b/a Eagle Oak Furniture, Inc.
30. Plaintiff has failed to set forth, with sufficient specificity, any legal grounds giving
rise to a cause of action against Timothy Holtzman, individually.
31. This Court does not have jurisdiction over Timothy Holtzman individually in this
matter, in light of the fact that Timothy Holtzman is not a party to any contractual agreement,
request, or understanding which allegedly forms the basis of Plaintiffs Complaint against West
Shore Sunset Distributors, Inc., d/b/a Eagle Oak Furniture, Inc.
WHEREFORE, Defendant Timothy Holtzman, respectfully requests that this Honorable
Court dismiss the Plaintiffs Complaint as it pertains to Defendant Timothy Holtzman,
individually, with prejudice and further award Defendant Timothy Holtzman all such other relief
as is proper and just.
