CIVIL ACTION - LAW
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR CONSOLIDATION
Pursuant to Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure No. 213 (a), Plaintiffs, JoAnn
Rinehart and Harry Rinehart, her husband, by and through their attorneys, HANDLER,
HENNING & ROSENBERG, LLP, by Stephen G. Held, Esquire, move this Honorable
Court to enter an Order permitting consolidation of the above-captioned pending actions
for purposes of trial and in support aver as follows:
1. Plaintiffs, JoAnn and Harry Rinehart, commenced an action, pursuant to a
Writ of Summons dated October 4, 2005, against Defendants, Stonehedge Center, LLC
r
and Wesley A. Tate t/d/b/a Lloyd's Septic Service, to recover for injuries resulting from a
premise liability incident on or about December 29, 2003.
2. Plaintiffs next commenced an action against Defendant Kimco Realty
Corporation, pursuant to a Writ of Summons dated October 13, 2005.
3. There is presently pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland
County, an action by Plaintiffs against Defendants, Stonehedge Center, LLC and Wesley
A. Tate t/d/b/al Lloyd's Septic Service (No. 05-5203), and a separate action by Plaintiffs
against Defendant Kimco Realty Corporation (No. 05-5355).
4. Both causes of action arise from the same incident, namely a premises
liability incident that occurred on December 29, 2003 at Stonehedge Square Shopping
Center located at 950 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
Defendant, Stonehedge Center, LLC owns the property where the injury occurred, and
Defendant Wesley A. Tate t/d/b/a Lloyd's Septic Service was the company responsible for
snow and ice removal at said property at the time of the incident. Subsequent to filing the
Writ of Summons against Defendants, Stonehedge Center, LLC and Wesley A. Tate
t/d/b/a Lloyd's Septic Service, Plaintiffs gained information and the belief that Defendant,
Kimco Realty Corporation was the property management entity responsible for
management of Stonehedge Square Shopping Center, and thus the entity responsible for
contracting with Wesley A. Tate t/d/b/a Lloyd's Septic Service for ice and snow removal at
Stonehedge Square Shopping Center.
5. Absent consolidation, the possibility exists for inconsistent verdicts.
6. The consolidation of these two actions will not prejudice the substantial rights
of any of the parties. It will be in the best interest of the parties and the Court to
,
consolidate and resolve both causes of action at one trial, since the two causes of action
are premised on the same incident, seek the same damages and relief and are premised
on the same theory of liability
7. Copies of this motion have been served on all counsel and parties in both
cases.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs, JoAnn Rinehart and Harry Rinehart, her husband, request
that this Honorable Court order consolidation of these cases for trial.
Respectfully submitted,
