Estate of Jameel R. Johnson, SSN 166-70-3066
No. 2005-00926
PETITION FOR APPROVAL OF WRONGFUL DBA TH SETTLEMENT
WHEREAS, Petitioner requests approval of a wrongful death settlement and sets
forth the following in support thereof:
1. On April 30, 2005, Jameel R. Johnson (Jameel), deceased, was a passenger in a motor
vehicle operated by Sergio Martinez, which was involved in an accident resulting in his
death.
2. Jameel, eighteen (18) years old at the time of his death, resided permanently with Celeste Fay
Johnson, his natural mother and administratrix of the estate of Jameel R. Johnson and, was a
full-time freshman student at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, and at all times a
dependent child of Celeste Fay Johnson.
3. The accident which occurred on April 30, 2005, resulted in the instantaneous, immediate
death of Jameel. (see Coroner's Certificate of Death attached)
4. Jameel R. Johnson died intestate.
5. The Wrongful Death Beneficiaries are listed as follows:
Celeste Fay Johnson, natural mother
and administratrix of the Estate of
Jameel R. Johnson (see attached
Certificate of Grant of Letters)
511 B Street
Carlisle, P A 17013
Freddie Johnson, Jr., natural father
of Jameel R. Johnson
P.O. Box 833
Ft. Gaines, GA 39851
6. There are no wrongful death beneficiaries who are minors or incapacitated persons.
7. After investigation of the facts surrounding this motor vehicle accident which resulted in the
death of Jameel, including the police report, witness's statements, investigation and review of
relevant Pennsylvania laws regarding negligence free guest passengers, negotiations with
State Farm Automobile Insurance Company resulted in a proposed Underinsured Settlement
for the fifty thousand ($50,000) policy limits on the vehicle owned and operated the Sergio
Martinez. (See attachments including tender offer letter and proof of policy limits)
8. Given the facts of the accident and the proof of Mr. Martinez's automobile Underinsured
Insurance policy limits, counsel believes that this policy limits tender on behalf of Mr.
Martinez by State Farm is reasonable.
9. The apportionment of the settlement proposed is that the entire amount of the proceeds be
apportioned under the Wrongful Death Settlement.
10. There are no unpaid liens, claims or debts which would attach to the estate, presently or in
the future.
11. Celeste Fay Johnson, administratrix, was granted full legal custody of Jameel in 1990 and has
a support order against Freddie Johnson, Jr., natural father, dated 12-12-92.
12. Freddie Johnson, Jr., natural father, moved to Georgia in 1990 and has had absolutely no
contact with Jameel from that time until the time of Jameel's death in 2005, and has made
sporadic support paYments to Celeste Johnson since the support order dated 12-12-92, which
paYments are presently in arrears. (see attached affidavit of Celeste Johnson 1-17-06.)
13. Given the above, it is anticipated that the distribution of settlement funds will be an issue
which will require resolution by the Court at a later date, with both parties appearing before
the Court to state their respective positions with regard to the disputed issues.
14. The position ofthe administratrix, Celeste Fay Johnson, with regard to the above issue, is
that the actions of Freddie Johnson, Jr., natural father of Jam eel Johnson, fall within the
Pennsylvania Forfeiture Statue, 20 Pa CSA. ~2016 (b) and therefore Freddie Johnson has no
right or interest in the Estate of Jameel Johnson.
15. Therefore, given that this issue will need to be resolved by the Court at a future date, the
administratrix will hold all settlement proceeds until the resolution by the Court, and only
distribute same according to a Court order after all parties have had an opportunity to appear
and argue their respective positions.
16. In the proposed Order attached, it is requested that the Court approve this settlement to the
extent that the estate be allowed to immediately obtain the funds offered by State Farm
Automobile Insurance Company. Administratrix will hold funds until the final distribution is
approved by the Court at a future date.
17. All other settlement funds obtained in this matter are being held by the administratrix until a
final Order of Court is approved at a future date and after all parties have had the ability to
appear and set forth their respective positions.
18. Counsel's contingent fee agreement is attached with a request for twenty-five (25%) for
counsel fees in this matter. Counsel has agreed to waive any costs or expenses in this matter
and therefore no itemization of costs or expense is set forth herein.
19. Given the potential conflict of interests between the parties which was subsequently
determined by Counsel, a certified letter was mailed to Freddie Johnson, withdrawing
counsel's representation of Mr. Johnson and stating that he should seek other counsel. This
Counsel will represent the administratrix before the Court at the time any future Court
proceedings on the issue of distribution of all settlement funds is scheduled.
THEREFORE, it is requested that Court approve this Order so that the Estate may
obtain the State Farm Insurance settlement proceeds and until a final distribution of any settlement
proceeds shall be approved by the Court at a future date.

PERSONALL Y came and appeared be fore me, the undersigned Notary
P'llhlic, the within named CELESTE FAY JOHNSON, who is a resident of
CUMBERLAND C01JNTY, STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, and makes this her
affirmation of belief and personal knowledge that the following matters, facts and things
~et forth are true and correct to the best of her knowledge:
I, CELESTE FAY JOHNSON, do swear and attes\ the,fo'Howing:
I am the natural mother of Jameel Johnson, who lived with m' Clnd who
10
.~
\\',\'; killed in an automobile accident on April 30,2005. .lameel was 18 years old at the
time of his death and a full-time student at Shippensburg University. lameel was born on
ALI:,lust 15, 1986. lameel's natural father is Freddie Johnson. We were married on May
8, 1986. Thereafter, we were divorced on September 2, 1993. I obtained [ulllegal
custody of .Tamed and an order for support in Pennsylvania against Freddie Johnson in
1 c;><)O afler three years of separation with Freddie Johnson, prior to our divorcJ in 1993.
Jameellived with me solely prior to his death and at all times dating ba~k to 1990, when
Freddie Johnson and I legally separated. Subsequent to our separating in 19~O, Freddie
i'
Johnson relocated to Fort Gaines, Georgia. At no time after our separation in 1990 did
.J2.m;,:d's father, Freddie Johnson, ever attempt to contact Jameel. Freddie never called "
.l.21m eel, never sent any correspondence to .Tamed, never sent any presents for Christmas
or .IamccI's birthday, never attempted to have any relationship with his son, which upset
.' Jltlmeel greatly throughout his formative years. There was no attempt at even minimal
1 j<,t:'
\t
"
III."',"''';',:

'i /7_'i-~:.
"."i
contact by Freddie Johnson with lamed. It was as if Freddie rejected Jameel as a Stm.
This was very~hard for lameel to understand growing up.
"
'"
~l also had a support order against Freddie Johnson dating back to J 990.
Freddie worked sevcraljot)'s in Georgia, but never voluntarily complied with the
.
outstanding support order. The only time I received any support was when his wages
were garnished, and then very minimal amounts were sent, sometimes years apart.
Though many attempts were made to have Freddie voluntarily send support checks to me,
these were unsuccessful and I gave up. The only support I received w~s when the States
(1;..
of Pennsylvania or Georgia pursued him through legal means. Freddie was even jailed in
Georgia due t(~ outstanding support obligations 110t being paid, It became evident to me
'"
through the ycirs that Freddie was making every effort to avoid paying any support for
Jamcel and did not'~~nt J!~eel to be a part of his life. This hurt lameel greatly and
made it finanCially and emotionally difficult for me as a single mother raising a son by
myself. (1
