CIVIL ACTION ~ LAW
IN RE: PRETRIAL CONFERENCE
Present at a pretrial conference held February 20, 2002, were Edward E. Knauss, IV,
Esquire, attorney for the plaintiff, and Jefferson J. Shipman, Esquire, attorney for the defendant.
This case arises out of an accident which occurred on March 8, 2000, on State Route 114
in Silver Spring Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The accident occurred at the
intersection of 114 and Sporting Green Drive, which is the entrance to the Wal-Mart Shopping
Center offthe Carlisle Pike. A vehicle driven by the defendant made a left turn in front of the
plaintiff causing a collision. Mr. Shipman was not prepared to stipulate with regard to the matter
of negligence at the pretrial conference.
This otherwise uncomplicated trial should be of no more than two a~d one-half days'
duration. Both Mr. Knauss and Mr. Shipman have other cases on the civil list which have been
held over from the last term and which, presumably, have priority.
