JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
JACOB A. SUT A,
ANSWER TO MOTION FOR ORDER DIRECTING
DEFENDANT TO PERMIT PLAINTIFF ACCESS TO PROPERTY
AT ISSUE FOR DISCOVERY PURPOSES
COMES NOW, the Defendant, by and through his attorneys Richard L. Webber, Jr.,
Esquire, and Weigle & Associates, P.c. and in support of this motion avers as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. It is admitted that Defendant filed an Answer to Plaintiff's initial Motion. It is
denied that there are eight (8) boxes in the possession of Defendant. It is admitted that
Defendant is in the possession of five (5) boxes.
4. Denied. Plaintiff is not entitled to the pre-judgment or injunctive relief that she
seeks; therefore, an inventory is not necessary for the purpose of resolution of the Motion.
Counsel for the parties arranged for Plaintiffs representative to visit the property and inspect
various items. That visit took place. Defendant provided Plaintiff's representative with the
opportunity to take pictures.
Plaintiff has not verified either of the Motions that were filed on her behalf. Plaintiff s
initial Motion fails to provide specific and sufficient allegations to support the claim that
immediate and injunctive relief is needed. Defendant denies that any such grounds exist.
Plaintiff is attempting to harass Defendant and to otherwise delay trial in this matter.
5. Denied. Plaintiff has continually engaged in fraudulent conduct, to the
detriment of Defendant. Plaintiff stole Defendant's checkbook, used his credit card without
authorization, and removed various items from Defendant's residence owned by Defendant
without Defendant's permission. Defendant therefore believes that Plaintiff will remove
WEIGLE & ASSOCIATES. RC. - ATTORNEYS AT LAW - 126 EAST KIN(; STREET - SHIPPENSBURG. PA 17257-1397
items from Defendant's residence and will otherwise engage ill conduct which is designed to
harass Defendant and which will serve no legitimate purpose.
Plaintiff has admitted to Defendant that she has committed thefts of the property of
others. In addition, Plaintiff was found in contempt of court for entering her ex-husband's
residence in violation of a Court Order.
For these reasons as well as the responses set forth in Paragraph 4 above, which are
incorporated by reference herein, Defendant avers that the proposed walk-through will be
burdensome and inconvenient to Defendant and that she is not entitled to the relief sought.
WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests that the Court deny Plaintiffs
Motion.

in support of the within Motion avers as follows:
1. After a Trial regarding the above-captioned case, the Court issued an Order dated
August 27, 2004 which addresses the Plaintiff s ability to remove her items from
Defendant's property. Order attached as Exhibit "A",
2. Paragraph 4 of said Order states that Plaintiffs property "shall be moved in no more
than three (3) days and preferably in one (1). The Defendant shall be given notice,
through counsel, of the date(s) of the intended move. . ."
3, Plaintiff did not have adequate funds to employ movers until October of2004.
4. Counsel for the parties made several attempts to arrange suitable moving dates since
October to no avail.
5. Defendant has subsequently refused to schedule moving dates due to issues unrelated
to the move.
6, Plaintiff's movers have indicated that they will require the better part of three (3) days
to complete the move.
7. Plaintiff now believes that the move cannot realistically take place until the Spring of
2005 due to the weather.
8, If Defendant would have cooperated, all of the Plaintiff's items would currently be
off of Defendant's property.
9, Plaintiff now wishes to recover several of her winter items and items she immediately
wishes to use including the following:
a. Winter clothing;
b, Toiletries;
c. Cosmetic articles;
d, Jewelry;
e. Leather hides;
f. Personal records/files;
g, TV, VCR, and TV cabinets;
h, Small refrigerator;
1. Miscellaneous tools;
J. Kitchen stove; and
k. Goat cart frame, sleigh and bird feeder.
10. Plaintiff can easily remove these items with a friend within a couple of hours.
11. Plaintiff wishes for the Court to set a date certain for the move to take place in the
Spring so that Defendant can delay no further past that point.
12. Defendant wishes to be rewarded her unnecessary attorney fees which are the direct
result of Defendant's unreasonable delay. These attorney fees will likely be in excess
of $400 by the time this matter is concluded.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court set a date certain for the
move of her property from of Defendant's property for three (3) consecutive days in the Spring;
