LAW NO: 94.4621 CIVIL TERM JOANNE H. PAINTER, VI. NELLS FOOD STORES and SVANO ASCANI, Defendant ~ AND NOW, comes Joanne H. Painter, Plaintiff in the above-captioned action, by her attorneys, Flower, Morgenthal, Flower & Lindsay, and states the following causes of action against Defendants: 1. Plaintiff is Joanne H. Painter, an adult Individual residing at 105 East Main Street, P.O. Box 65, Plainfield, Pennsylvania 17081. 2. Defendant, Neils Food Stores, is a Pennsylvania corporation having a principal place of business at Stonehedge Plaza, 950 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17013. 3. Defendant, Svano Ascanl, is an adult individual whose present or last known address Is 500 Cambria Avenue, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania. 4. At all times relevant hereto, Defendant, Svano Ascani, has been the store manager of Defendant, Neils Food Stores at the Stonehedge Plaza location, 950 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. 5. On August 17, 1993, Plaintiff went to Defendant Neils Food Stores, to shop for groceries and other items, accompanied by a friend, Jill Wilkins, and their children. 2 C:\Wf'1 1\I'I~g\Scnlin".(\'mr 6. Plaintiff, prior to August 17, 1993, had been a regular customer at Defendant Neils Food Stores. 7. After Plaintiff and her friend had selected their desired groceries and other Items for purchase, they went to the check-outline, with Jill Wilkins, proceeding through the line first. 8. After Jill Wilkins had completed checking out and paid her bill, she waited with the women's children as Plaintiff presented her purchased items for payment. 9. At the beginning of the check-out process, Plaintiff Informed the check.out clerk, believed to be named Rachel, that Plaintiff had both food stamps and coupons to be credited against the purchase. 10. The cierk totaled the groceries and informed Plaintiff of the amount due as reflected on the cash register tape. 11. Plaintiff realized that the food stamps had not been credited, so at Plaintiff's request, the clerk re-totalled the groceries and Plaintiff gave the food stamps to the clerk. 12. After giving the clerk the food stamps, Plaintiff asked the cierk whether the coupons had been credited in the total (and after once more examining the cash register tape), the cierk told Plaintiff that she should not owe as much as shown by the receipt. 13. At that point, the clerk, Rachel, called the head cashier, to come to her aisle and the two discussed the receipt; the name of the head cashier is believed to be Jody Minnich. 14. As Plaintiff continued to wait at the check-out point, the clerk and head cashier discussed the register receipt for 5 to 10 minutes, after which the head cashier took the receipt over to the main store desk, which is located near the check-out aisles. 1 (. C:\Wf'II\I'I~g\Scnlin",(\'mr 15. At the main desk, the head cashier conferred with unknown store employees for another 10.15 minutes, during which Plaintiff continued to wait at the check-out aisle. 16. After said discussions, the head cashier returned to the check-out aisle, handed the clerk a doliar food stamp coupon, and told the clerk that Defendant Neils Food Stores owed Plaintiff a dollar food stamp in change. 17. At that point, the clerk began to question the determination, but the head cashier cut off her question In an angry manner, repeating that Plaintiff was owed a dollar food stamp coupon. 18. In compliance with the head cashier's orders, the clerk gave the Plaintiff the dollar food stamp and the register receipt. 19. At that point, Plaintiff, who had observed the angry discussion between the clerk and the head cashier, questioned the head cashier's determination because she believed that she should actually owe more money than she had paid; but Plaintiff was once again reassured by the head cashier that she was owed a doliar food stamp coupon in change. 20. At that point, after having waited at the cher:k-out aisie for neariy 1/2 hour after the groceries had been totaled, acquiesced in the determination of the head cashier. 21. Piaintiff's groceries were bagged, and a bag-boy, employed by Defendant Neils Food Stores, helped Plaintiff carry her groceries to her car, and Plaintiff and the bag boy placed the groceries in the car trunk. 22. During the process of placing the bagged groceries into her car trunk, Plaintiff inadvertentiy also placed her car keys in the trunk, which was then closed, locking the keys inside. 23. After realizing that her car keys were in the trunk, Piaintiff, Jill Wilkins, and their children, re-entered the store, where Piainliff approached the main desk and asked to use the .1 /' '-, C:\Wf'\ 1\I'I~g\Scnlin,I,( '.n" telephone. After an unsuccessful attempt to call her husband, to oblain an alternate set of keys, Plaintiff calied several locksmiths unlil she found one who would come to open the car trunk. 24. While at the main desk of Defendant Neils Food Stores, and calling several locksmiths, Plaintiff was approached by the head cashier (who had ordered the doliar food stamp refund) who stated: "you didn't pay your bill." 25. Shocked and surprised by that statement, Plaintiff showed the cash register receipt to the head cashier, stating that she had in fact paid her bill, and furthermore, reminded the head cashier that it was the head cashier herself who had determined what Plaintiff owed. 26. Ignoring Plaintiff's explanation, the head cashier stated that Plaintiff had not paid for cigarettes she had purchased and told Piaintiff that Plaintiff owed $24.00. 27. In response, Plaintiff pointed out to the head cashier that the cigarettes purchased did not total $24.00, but the head cashier continued to voice her assertion that Plaintiff owed $24.00 without giving a further explanation. 28. After briefly continuing the discussion with the head cashier, Plaintiff, who was by now confused and suspicious of the head cashier's arbitrary assertion, and remembering the treatment of the check-out clerk by the head cashier, requested that she be allowed to continue searching for a locksmith. Plaintiff stated that she was willing to work out the discrepancy, if there was one, but the head cashier abruptly left the area while continuing to examine the register receipt. 29. Finally, Plaintiff was successful in having a locksmith come to the parking lot of Defendant Neils Food Stores to open the car trunk, but because of a severe thunderstorm, Plaintiff, Jill Wilkins and their children, waited in the mezzanine portion of the store. ,< (. HI. c:\wI" 1\I'Jd~\Scnlin",(\.m' 30. While waiting in the mezzanine portion of Defendant, Neils Food Store during the thunderstorm, Plaintiff became aware that a number of employees of Defendant Neils Food Store were staring at her and quite clearly talking about her. 31. At the same time, Plaintiff observed the head cashier speaking with a man who appeared to be a manager or supervisor, In the same general section of the store where Plaintiff waited, 10 or 15 feet away from Plaintiff. 32. Plaintiff could not overhear the conversation between the head cashier and the supervisor or manager, but it was apparent that they were discussing her; and at the conclusion of that discussion, the manager or supervisor, shrugging his shoulders and spreading his arms apart said "there is nothing we can do" and walked away. 33. Due to the aforementioned thunderstorm, a number of other Neils' customers were waiting In the entry section of the store, near Plaintiff and her friend and children. To protect the customers from the rain, a defendant of Neils Food Stores was holding the automatic doors closed in order to stop the wind from blowing wind into the store. Plaintiff, talking to Jill Wilkins, stated that they and their children would need to run to the car because of the rain. In an apparent response to Plaintiff's innocent statement to Jill Wilkins, the Neils' employee holding the doors, under his breath, but in a voice loud enough to be heard generally by those present, said, "I'd run too If I hadn't paid for my groceries." 34. Plaintiff overheard the statement as did a number of the other customers who turned toward her. In addition, another customer who was an acquittance of Plaintiff, approached Plaintiff asking why the Neils' employee had made such a statement. 10 C:\Wf'11 \1'1~~\Scnlincl.(\.m' 35. As a result of the employee's statement and the attention it focused upon her from other customers, Plaintiff was extremely embarrassed and shocked by the comment. 36. No employee of Defendant Neils Food Stores approached Plaintiff Immediately after the comment was made to discuss the matter with her further, although she was aware that she was still being discussed by various employees by the way they looked at her. 37. After the locksmith had finally opened Plaintiff's car trunk and retrieved her keys, Plaintiff drove the car to the front loading area of the store to pick up her children and her friend. 38. After the children were in the car, and as Plaintiff began to drive away, another cashier, an employee of Defendant Neils Food Stores, suddenly approached the car and through the window asked Plaintiff if she was going to pay her bill. 39. By this time, Plaintiff, thoroughly disgusted with the shoddy treatment she was receiving from the employees of Defendant, Neils Food Stores, informed the cashier that she had paid, but that she was in the store on an almost daily basis and would be willing to discuss the situation some other day; and without further conversation, Plaintiff drove away from the store and proceeded to her home. 40. The next day, August 18, 1993, after attending some morning classes, Plaintiff, who was still disturbed by the events of the previous day, decided that she would stop at Defendant Neils Food Stores to discuss the matter with someone in charge; but before going to the store, she went home to complete a few household chores. 41. While she was home doing said chores, Plaintiff heard a knock on her door, looked out the window and saw a young boy in a van, parked in front of her home; and at the door, 7 , C:\Wf'1 1\I'I~~\Scnlin,I,C\.m' Plaintiff recognized Defendant, Svano Ascanl, whom she knew to be the manager of Defendant Neils Food Stores at the Stonehedge Mall location. 42. Plaintiff answered the door, and Defendant, Svano Ascani, in a hostile and aggressive manner, Immediately began accusing Plaintiff of not paying her bill and claiming that she owed $22.00, instead of the $24.00 claimed to be owed by the head cashier. 43. Confused by the changed total of the demand made by Defendants, Plaintiff asked Defendant, Svano Ascanl, to explain the discrepancy but he did not do so In a satisfactory manner. 44. Defendant, Svano Ascani, continued to speak with Plaintiff in a hostile and aggressive manner, and the discussion between them became more and more heated. Defendant, Ascani, finally stated that Plaintiff had four (4) days to pay the bill, and if the bill was paid in four (4) days, the amount owed would only be $18.00, which he said was the amount the cashier was short at the end of the previous day. Defendant, Svano Ascani, further threatened that if Plaintiff did not pay, "I can make a lot of trouble for you, I am sure you don't want that." 45. Plaintiff asked Defendant, Svano Ascani, if his statement was a threat, after which he replied that he was willing to call the food stamp office and falsely claim that Plaintiff had attempted to buy cigarettes with food stamps, thereby threatening Plaintiff's eligibility for food stamps; and in addition, he stated that, if she did not pay, he would file a report with the Pennsyivania State Police. At that point, extremely upset by Defendant, Svano Ascani's comments and threats, Plaintiff decided to end the conversation, and she shut her front door. However, Defendant, Svano Ascani, did not leave, instead striking the door and yelling in a loud voice, clearly audible to anyone in the surrounding area, that he would "make trouble," "take you to court," and "call the police." Plaintiff kept the door closed and finally Defendant, Svano Ascani, left the residence. . c:\wl" 1\I'I~g\Scnlln<l,I\.m' 46. Fifteen to thirty minutes after Defendant, Svano Ascanl, departed her residence, and after Plaintiff had gone outside to play with her children In the front yard of her residence, a Pennsylvania State Police officer approached Piaintiff, Informing that Defendant Neils Food Stores, had charged her with retail theft; and further, the officer stated to Piaintiff that she could either pay her bill to Neils Food Stores or he would be forced to place her In custody. 47. Plaintiff confused with the officer's demand, and shepherding her children inside, sought refuge In her home, after which the officer began pounding on the front door, stating that he would have to arrest her if she did not comply with his orders. 48. During these events, Plaintiff's children, who were with her in the home, became terrified and confused by the incident, perhaps fearing that they would also be arrested. 49. In response to the officer's actions, Plaintiff telephoned the Pennsylvania State Police Barracks at Carlisle, which dispatched another officer to the scene; upon arrival, the second officer presented Plaintiff with a Summons and both officers then departed. 50. Following this incident, although extremely distraught, fearful, embarrassed, and confused, Plaintiff nevertheless attempted to reconcile the dispute without resort to the legal system, returning to Defendant Neils Food Stores, and attempted to see a manager; however, a manager was unavailable, she was told. 51. The following day, August 19, 1993, Defendant, Svano Ascani, telephoned Plaintiff and stated that he would be willing to forget the incident if Plaintiff would pay the $18.00. 52. By now, completely overwhelmed by the events of the previous two days, Plaintiff went to Neils on August 20,1993 to pay the $18.00; but upon going to the main desk of the store, 'J ,. c:\Wf'1 1\I'I~g\Scnlin,I.(\.m' she was told that the manager was not available and that In any case, she owed $26.00, again without receiving any explanation of the change in demand. 53. Having been turned away by Defendant Neils Food Stores, on each of three separate attempts to end the dispute amicably, that Is by capitulating to the change In demands, Plaintiff retained counsel and attended a District Justice hearing on the retail theft charges. 54. The citation Issued by Trooper Daniel Housel on the charges brought by Defendant, charged Defendant with retail theft under the Pennsylvania Crimes Code, stating, as to the nature of the offence, that "Plaintiff did remove groceries from Defendant Neils Food Stores without paying the balance of $24.93." Said citation therefore stated yet another amount claimed to be due, without explanation. A copy of said citation is attached hereto, made a part hereof and marked Exhibit "A." 55. As a result of the charges against her, the Plaintiff was required to go to the Carlisle State Police Barracks and be fingerprinted. 56. On May 23, 1994, after an unexplained delay in the prosecution, a hearing was held before District Justice Susan K. Day at her office at 229 Mill Street, Mt. Holly Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Defendant, Svano Ascani, head cashier, Jody Minnich, Trooper Daniel Housel, and other witnesses were present on behalf of Defendant Neils Food Stores; but after hearing their testimony, District Justice Day dismissed all charges against Plaintiff, finding her not guilty. 57. After District Justice Day announced her verdict acquitting Plaintiff of all charges, Defendant, Svano Ascani, on his way out of the courtroom, stated loudly to those present that Plaintiff "does this for a living." Persons present who heard this comment included Plaintiff's I" 1 It' :1 i~ '/ I ,I I i \ , I \: ~ L':\Wf" 1\I'I~g\Scnlin,I,(\'m' witness, Jill Painter, Plaintiff's counsel, and numerous members of the general public who were in the District Justice's office awaiting other hearings. Once more, Plaintiff was extremely hurt and embarrassed by Defendant, Ascani's comment. 58. Despite all of the foregoing, Plaintiff returned to shop at Defendant Neils Food Stores because It was, at that time, the most convenient large food store to her home. Each time she shopped there, she was stared at, followed, and made to feel like a criminal by the Neils' employees present, who Plaintiff believed had been instructed to watch her. 59. Since the aforementioned District Justice hearing, Piaintiff has sought employment on many occasions from prospective employers such as post offices in Mechanicsburg and Carlisle, but after successfully completing several interviews with each employer, and believing herself about to be hired, Plaintiff has suddenly been turned down for employment without explanation; and she believes and therefore avers that the record of criminal proceedings brought by Defendants Is the reason for her rejections. 60. During a conversation with District Justice Day and Plaintiff's counsel, during or immediately after Plaintiff's acquittal, Trooper Housel acknowledged that retail theft charges were not appropriate based upon the evidence produced at the hearing by Defendants. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgment against Defendants in an unliquidated amount, which amount does exceed the jurisdictional amount requiring arbitration referral by Cumberland County Local Rules. II C:\Wf'1 I \1'I~g\Scnlin<U\.m' COUNT I Malicious Prosecution 61. Paragraphs 1 through 60 as set forth above are incorporated herein by reference. 62. On or about August 18, 1993, Defendants, acting through Defendant, Svano Ascani, made, and or swore to, certain criminal allegations in which Defendants falsely, maliciously, and with no probable cause accused Plaintiff of having committed the crime of retail theft. 63. On August 18, 1993, a citation was delivered to Piaintiff on the charge of retail theft, Issued by Trooper Daniel J. Housel, Pennsyivania State Police, through Susan K.

NELLS FOOD STORES AND SVANO ASCANI OUR FILE NO: 4111-93-01 Dear Mr. Yaninek: I acknowledge receipt of the Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents in the above-referenced case. My client is in the middle of a contested divorce, in which we do not represent her, and it is likely that her estranged husband has control of much of the information needed to respond to several of the Interrogatories. This would include medical bills, information regarding her workers' compensation claim against a former employer, income tax returns, and general correspondence. She will go through things at her home and let me know what items she does have, and then I shall work with her divorce attorney to try to get the additional items from the husband. In any event case, it will probably take longer than the 30 days for us to respond to your discovery requests; and I am requesting an extension until February 1, 1997 to provide our answers.

On July 8, 1997, Plaintiff's counsel filed a Response to Defendants' Motion to Compel. Recently, I filed a Reply to Plaintiff's Response. At this time, I believe that the Motion to Compel is appropriate for resolution. I do not know if the Court intends to hear oral argument on the Motion or if the Court intends to issue an order based upon the Briefs filed by counsel.

Morgenthal, Esquire vs. CIVIL ACTION - LAW .. IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA JOANNE H. PAINTER, NO.: 94-4621 Plaintiff , NELLS FOOD STORES and SVANO ASCANI, Defendants. JURY TRIAL DEMANDED REPLY OF DEFENDANTS TO THE PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO COMPEL Defendants object to Plaintiff's request to stay further discovery in this matter for a period of six (6) months. Defendants served their discovery requests in December 1996. Defendants have already waited more than seven (7) months to receive responses to the discovery requests. An additional six (6) months is unnecessary and prejudicial to the Defendants. Attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2 are the Interrogatories and the Request for Production of Documents which were served upon the Plaintiff. Interrogatory Numbers 2 through 4 inquire as to what items Plaintiff intended to purchase at Defendant's store on the day of the alleged incident as well as how Plaintiff intended to pay for these items. These Interrogatories seek information which is within the personal knowledge of Plaintiff. She should not need to review any documentary information in order to respond to these Interrogatories. In her Complaint. Plaintiff has alleged that she was humiliated, embarrassed and shocked and suffered great and lasting mental anguish. Interrogatory Number 5 has asked her to identify persons having knowledge of these facts and to identify each Defendant or agent of the Defendant who participated in the alleged conduct which caused the embarrassment, humiliation or shock. This information is also within the personel knowledge of Plaintiff Painter. Defense counsel is unaware of what "documentary information" could exist which would assist Plaintiff with her response to these Interrogatories. In addition, the Interrogatory requests the names of witnesses. Once these people are identified defense counsel will contact the witnesses to ascertain what knowledge they posses. A delay of six (6) months will only allow memories to fade or witnesses to move or disappear. In her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants acted "falsely. maliciously and with no probable cause". Interrogatory Number 6 asked Plaintiff to identify each individual who has knowledge of these facts and to identify each Defendant who participated in the alleged conduct. Once again. this information is within Plaintiff's personal knowledge. Defense counsel is unaware of what "documentary information" could exist which would assist Plaintiff in responding to this Interrogatory. Furthermore, a delay of six (6) months will allow a witness' memory to fade or the witness to move or disappear. Plaintiff has alleged a claim for lost wages or loss of earning capacity. Interrogatory Numbers 7, 8. and 9 inquire into positions that she held before the accident as well as positions which she has applied for and/or interviewed since the accident. Once again. Plaintiff has personal knowledge of this information. Plaintiff probably does not need to review records to answer it. If Plaintiff feels that the information could only be answered in a partial fashion, she can always supplement her answers at a later date. Plaintiff has alleged medical and/or psychological injury in this case. Interrogatories 10 through 12 inquire as to the name and addresses of health care providers which she has seen as a result of the incident which is the subject of this lawsuit. Although Plaintiff may not have all medical records in her possession, she should be able to identify the health care providers which she has seen and whether she Is still under the current care of that person. Once defense counsel has this information he can take any and all steps he needs to obtain a complete set of Plaintiff's medical and lor psychological records. The remaining Interrogatories focus upon various aspects of Plaintiff's damages. Once again, much of this information is within Plaintiff's personal knowledge. If Plaintiff feels she cannot completely answer the Interrogatory, she is free to GRIFFITH, STRICKLER, LERMAN, SOL YMOS & CALKINS supplement her answer at a later date. In conclusion, defense counsel believes that there is no reason for a six (6) month stay of discovery. Defendant believes that Plaintiff should be ordered to provide answers to many of the discovery requests. Plaintiff is free to supplement her answers at a later date. If Plaintiff provides answers to the discovery requests at this time, defense counsel can take steps to keep discovery moving forward. WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant the Motion to Compel. If Plaintiff fails to produce the discovery responses within the period set forth by the Court, then the Court may impose appropriate sanctions.

Cumberland County: No. 94.4621 Dear Counsel, Enclosed is a revised Notice of Arbitration Hearing in the above matter, which hearing was rescheduled from March 16, 2001 at the request of the Plaintiff. As I had mentioned in recent conversations with counsel for both parties, I have recognized in hindsight that I had no authority to grant the continuance of the March 16,2001 hearing pursuant to Pa.R.C.P, ~ 1303. Both counsel have advised that they will be guided accordingly hereafter. It is also my understanding that the rescheduled hearing date is, in any event, convenient to the calendars of counsel for both parties. Although neither of the arbitrators were contacted with regard to this rescheduled hearing date, I believe that I have provided ample notice of this rescheduled hearing. Should this revised hearing date prove inconvenient to either of the other arbitrators, I would ask that they consider obtaining substitute arbitrators if the need arises due to the long pendency of this case. Thank you for your attention and cooperation. Sincerely yours, Donald R, Dorer IW Dcll'k Enclosure . u 7:i <., c: Dirk E, Berry, Esquire ,_4. t- Lisa M.

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED REPLY OF DEFENDANTS TO THE PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO COMPEL Defendants object to Plaintiff's request to stay further discovery in this matter for a period of six (6) months, Defendants served their discovery requests In December 1996, Defendants have already waited more than seven (7) months to receive responses to the discovery requests. An additional six (6) months is unnecessary and prejudicial to the Defendants. Attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2 are the Interrogatories and the Request for Production of Documents which were served upon the Plaintiff, Interrogatory Numbers 2 through 4 inquire as to what items Plaintiff intended to purchase at Defendant's store on the day of the alleged incident as well as how Plaintiff intended to pay for these items. These Interrogatories seek information which is within the personal knowledge of Plaintiff. She should not need to review any documentary information in order to respond to these Interrogatories, In her Compleint, Plaintiff has alleged that she was humiliated, embarrassed and shocked and suffered great and lasting mental anguish, Interrogatory Number 5 has asked her to identify persons having knowledge of these facts and to identify each Defendant or agent of the Defendant who participated in the alleged conduct which caused the embarrassment, humiliation or shock, This information is also within the I I :i ., personal knowledge of Plaintiff Painter. Defense counsel is unaware of what "documentery information" could exist which would assist Plaintiff with her response to these Interrogatories, In addition, the Interrogatory requests the names of witnesses. Once these people are identified defense counsel will contact the witnesses to ascertain what knowledge they posses. A delay of six (61 months will only allow memories to fade or witnesses to move or disappear. In her Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants acted "falsely, maliciously and with no probable cause". Interrogatory Number 6 asked Plaintiff to identify each individual who has knowledge of these facts and to identify each Defendant who participated in the alleged conduct. Once again, this information is within Plaintiff's personal knowledge. Defense counsel is unaware of what "documentary information" could exist which would assist Plaintiff in responding to this Interrogatory. Furthermore, a delay of six (61 months will allow a witness' memory to fade or the witness to move or disappear. Plaintiff has alleged a claim for lost wages or loss of earning capacity. Interrogatory Numbers 7, 8, and 9 inquire into positions that she held before the accident as well as positions which she has applied for and/or interviewed since the accident, Once again, Plaintiff has personal knowledge of this information. Plaintiff probably does not need to review records to answer it. If Plaintiff feels that the information could only be answered in a partial fashion, she can always supplement her answers at a later date. Plaintiff has alieged medical and/or psychological injury in this case. Interrogatories 10 through 12 inquire as to the name and addresses of health care providers which she has seen as a result of the incident which is the subject of this lawsuit. Although Plaintiff may not have all medical records in her possession, she should be able to Identify the health care providers which sha has seen and whether she is still under the current care of that person, Once defense counsel has this information he can take any and all steps he needs to obtain a complete set of Plaintiff's medical and lor psychological records. The remaining Interrogatories focus upon various aspects of Plaintiff's damages, Once again, much of this Information Is within Plaintiff's personal knowledge. If Plaintiff feels she cannot completely answer the Interrogatory, she Is free to supplement her answer at a later date, In conclusion, defense counsel believes that there Is no reason for a six (6) month stay of discovery. Defendant believes that Plaintiff should be ordered to provide answers to many of the discovery requests. Plaintiff Is free to supplement her answers at a later date. If Plaintiff provides answers to the discovery requests at this time, defense counsel can take steps to keep discovery moving forward. WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully requests this Honorable Court to grant the Motion to Compel. If Plaintiff fails to produce the discovery responses within the period set forth by the Court, then the Cou~t may impose appropriate sanctions.
