7. On September 13, 2006, Defendants' counsel again sent an electronic mail

DEFENDANTS' MOTION
FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT
AND NOW, come Defendants Gary L. Johnson and D. M. Bowman, Inc., by their
attorneys, Johnson, Duffie, Stewart & Weidner, P. C. who move this Honorable Court for a
Partial Summary Judgment based upon the following:
1. This matter arises out of a motor vehicle accident that occurred on April 11,
2004.
2. At the time of the accident, Plaintiff National Indemnity Company insured a 2003
tour bus owned and operated by Hua Mai Express, Inc.

3. The policy of insurance from National Indemnity Company covering the Hua Mai
Express, Inc. bus was a Georgia Insurance policy.
4. Following this Pennsylvania accident, Plaintiff National Indemnity Company paid
first-party (PIP) medical and wage loss payments on behalf of Fung Wong Hung, Kin Chun
Cheng, Qin Zhang, Qiao Zhiang and Qi Ji Huang. These first-party medical and wage loss
payments were paid under New York Motor Vehicle No-Fault Insurance Law.
5. There was no legal basis for Plaintiff National Indemnity Company to have paid
any New York no-fault or first-party benefits as a result of this accident.
6. The State of Georgia does not require first-party (PIP) coverage and the National
Indemnity policy written under Georgia law for Hua Mai Express, Inc. did not have no-fault,
first-party or PIP coverage.
7. Pennsylvania does not permit subrogation of first-party (PIP) payments. 75 Pa.
C.S.A. §1720.
8. Any payments made by the Plaintiff under New York no-fault or first-party (PIP)
law were voluntary payments and are not legally recoverable in this case.
