PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY
AND NOW comes Plaintiff, Jennifer B. Rockey, by and through her counsel,
McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, and moves this Court to compel discovery responses,
and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff is Jennifer B. Rockey ("Wife"), an adult individual who currently
resides at 1704 Sherwood Road, New Cumberland, PA 17070.
2. Defendant is Robert R. Rockey ("Husband"), an adult individual with a last
known address of 907 Brandt Avenue, New Cumberland, PA 17070.
3. A Divorce Complaint was initiated in the above captioned action on June
28, 2006.
4. On December 29, 2009, Plaintiff issued a First Set of Interrogatories and
Request for Production of Documents to Defendant, a copy of which is attached hereto
and marked as Exhibit "A." These requests were forwarded to counsel for Husband,
Sam Andes, Esquire.
5. On February 2, 2010, Plaintiffs counsel sent correspondence to counsel
for Husband indicating that if the discovery responses were not received by February
12, 2010, Plaintiff would seek court intervention in this matter.
6. To date, despite extending the discovery deadline, Plaintiff has not
received a response to the discovery requests from Defendant.
7. The undersigned certifies that Plaintiffs representatives have attempted to
confer with opposing counsel in order to resolve this discovery dispute to no avail.
8. Plaintiff has and will continue to incur attorneys' fees as a result of
Defendant's refusal to provide the information needed to process this case.
9. No judge has ruled on this case previously.
10. In light of the fact that Defendant has not responded to the discovery or
Plaintiffs follow up correspondence regarding discovery and the fact that Plaintiff was
advised when Plaintiff contacted him to seek his concurrence that Defendant's counsel
2
was out of the office until next Tuesday, Plaintiff assumes that opposing counsel does
not concur.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests this Honorable Court to enter an Order
compelling Defendant to provide the information requested in Plaintiffs First Set of
Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents within 15 days of the date of
the Court's Order and ordering Defendant to pay fees and costs in the amount of $500.

PLAINTIFF'S FIRST SET OF'INTERROGATORIES AND
FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
Pursuant to Rule 4009.11 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, the above-
named Plaintiff, by and through her undersigned counsel, hereby demands that the party
to whom these Requests for Production of Documents are addressed answer fully, in
writing, and under oath, with the signed Verification attached hereto, the following
Document Requests, and make available for inspection and copying all documents
responsive to these Document Requests, within thirty (30) days as prescribed by Rule
4009.12 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.
DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
Unless negated by the context of the Document Request, the following definitions
are to be considered to be applicable to all interrogations contained herein:
(A) "Documents" is an all-inclusive term, referring to any writing and/or recorded or
graphic matter, however produced or reproduced. The term "Documents" includes without
limitation, correspondence, memoranda, interoffice communications, minutes, reports,
notes, schedules, analyses, drawings, diagrams, invoices, purchase orders, pleadings,
questionnaires, contracts, bills, checks, drafts, diaries, logs, proposals, print-outs,
recordings, telegrams, films, tax returns, and financial statements, and other such
documents, tangible or retrievable of any kind. "Documents" also include any preliminary
notes and drafts of all the foregoing, in whatever form, for example, printed, typed,
longhand, shorthand, on paper, paper tape, tabulating picture film, phonograph records, or
other form.
(B) With respect to documents, the term "Identity" means to give the date, title,
author, and addresses; "Identify" with respect to documents further means:
(i) To describe a document sufficiently well to enable the interrogator to
know what such document is and to retrieve it from a file or wherever it may be located;
(ii) To describe it in a manner suitable for use as a description in a
subpoena; and
(iii) To give the name, address, position, or title of the person(s) who has
custody of the document and/or copies thereof.
(C) Whenever the expression "and/or" is used in these interrogatories, the
information called for should be set out both in the conjunctive and disjunctive, and
wherever the information is set out in the disjunctive, it should be given separately for each
and every element sought.
(D) No answer is to be left blank. If the answer is to a Document Request or
subparagraph of a Document Request is "none" or "unknown," such statement must be
written in the answer. If the question is inapplicable, "NA" must be written in the answer.
(E) These Document Requests are continuing, and any information secured
subsequent to the filing of your answers which would have been includable in the answers
had it been known or available, are to be supplied by supplemental answers.
(F) If additional space is required for an answer, attach supplemental answer sheet
which clearly identifies the Document Request number.
(G) If you object to any Document Request, or if any information responsive to any
Document Request is withheld based on any claim or privilege or protection from
discovery of any kind, describe generally the information withheld, state the privilege being
relied upon, and identify all persons or entities who have or have had access to said
information. If you refuse to provide any document on the basis of a claim of privilege or
protection from discovery or any kind, with respect to each such document, set forth the
following information:
(1) The date of the document;
(2) its author(s);
(3) all recipients of the document;
(4) the present location and custodian of the document; and
(5) the basis for the claim of privilege or protection from discovery.
To the extent that the claim of privilege or protection applies only to a portion of the
responsive documents, all portions for which privilege or protection are not claimed must
be produced.
(H) The terms "you" and "your" include, without limitation, Defendant, and his
agents or other representatives acting or purporting to act on his behalf or at his direction.

understanding of the parties, and there are no representations, warranties, covenants,
or undertakings other than those expressly set forth herein.

provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only if made in writing and executed with

performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent default of the same or similar nature.

Agreement in lieu of and in full and final settlement and satisfaction of all claims and
demands that they may now or hereafter have against each other for their support and

whatsoever except for breach of this Agreement.

and operation.

date on which the Agreement is signed by both parties. In the event the parties do not
