In support of this Motion, Defendants nver as follows: I. The instant action was commenced by the filing of a complaint on March 3, 1995, Defendants filed an Answer with New Maller on May 22, 1995. 2, On May 15, 1996, Defendants deposed Alfredo Santiago, a witness to this action, Following that deposition, David Lutz, eounsel for Plaintiff, inquired regarding defense eounsel's intended schedule for filing a motion for summary judgment in this mailer. Mary Ellen Fitzgerald Pina, counsel for Defendants, responded that she intended to serve a final set of discovery and that upon receipt of responses thereto, Defendants would file their motion. 3. On May 25, 1996, Defendants propounded their Request for Admissions Upon PlaintilT with Accompanying Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents (hereinafter referred to as "Defendants' Request for Admissions"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". 4. On or about June 26, 1996, Plaintifi's Answers to Defendants' Request for Admissions (hereinafter referred to as "Plaintifrs Answers") were received by defense counsel. A copy of Plaintifi's Answers is attached hereto as Exhibit "B". 5. By letter dated July 3, 1996, defense counsel advised Mr. Lutz that several of the answers provided were not responsive to, or failed to adequately respond to, Defendants' requests. Accordingly, it was requested that Mr. Lutz provide supplemental responses to the requests specifically addressed in that correspondence. A copy of the July 3, 1996 correspondence to Mr. Lutz is attached hereto as Exhibit "C", 6. On July 22, 1996, having received no response to the July 3, 1996 correspondence, defense counsel again wrote to Mr. Lutz, requesting that the supplemental discovery responses be provided by July 29, 1996. A copy of the July 22, 1996 correspondence is attached hereto as Exhibit "D". 7 On July 24, 1996, Mary Ellen Fitzgerald Pina received a voicemail message from Deborah in Davis Lutz's office, in whieh she stated that Plaintifi's counsel was working on the responses and that he hoped to fax the supplemental responses to defense counsel on July 29, 1996. See, Affidavit of Mary Ellen Fitzgerald Pinn, ~ 6 , nttached hereto as Exhibit "E". -2. , ~ 8. Ms, Pina returned Debornh's cnllthnt nllemoon, nnd stnted thnt if Mr. Lutz had nny problem serving the supjllementnl responses by the estnblished deadline, he need Ii " I merely contact her to discuss nltcmnte nrrangements for providing the responses. See, Exhibit "E", ~ 7. 9. By July 31, 1996, having neither received the supplementnl responses nor henrd from Mr. Lutz regarding when snid responses would be provided, Ms, Pinn placed n cnllto Plaintiff's counsel nnd wns ndvised thnt he wns unnvailable. Ms, Pinn then spoke with 10. On August 6, 1996, more thnn n month following the initinl request for Deborah, who stnted that Mr. Lutz had dictated the responses. but it was uncertnin when they would be served ns his secretary hnd a backlog of dictntion tapes, Debornh assured Ms, Pinn thnt the supplementnl response would be served as soon ns they were transcribed. See, Exhibit "E", ~ 8. supplementnl responses, Ms. Pinn lell n messnge for Dnvid Lutz inquiring ns to when Plnintiff's supplemental responses would be provided. In response to that cnll, Mr. Lutz lell a message on Ms. Pina's voicemnil in which he indicated that he had dictatcd furthcr responses, but thnt he was confident that they would not be fully ncceptable and, therefore, she should proceed to file n motion to compel. See, Exhibit "E", ~ 9, II. During a telephone conversntion later that allemoon, Ms. Pina advised Mr. Lutz that she would wait to receive Plaintifi's supplemental responses before filing a motion to compel, as she preferred to allemptto resolve the dispute voluntnrily. Ms. Pina further stated that she found it necessary to impose n dendline for the production of the supplemental responses due to the fact that Mr, Lutz had recently tilcd n Praecipe Listing Case for Trinl; however. she wns ngreeable to extending that deadline in order to give him the time he necded to adequately respond to the discovery requests, Mr, Lutz indicated thut he .3. wanted defense counsel to "get going" with l1Iing the motion for summary judgment, to which Ms. Pina responded that the sole reason for the delay was the outstanding discovery responses, See, Exhibit "E", ~ 10. 12. Plaintifl's Supplemental Answers to Defendants' Request for Admissions (hereinafter referred to as "Plaintifl's Supplemental Responses") were served on or about August 9, 1996, A copy of Plaintiffs' Supplemental Responses is allached hereto as Exhibit "F". 13. By leller dated August 28, 1996, Ms, Pina advised Mr. Lutz that several of Plaintilrs Supplemental Responses were not responsive to, or failed to adequately respond to, Defendants' Request for Admissions, Accordingly, defense counsel requested that supplemental responses be provided by September 6, 1996, A copy of the August 28, 1996 correspondence is allaehed hereto as Exhibit "a", 14. On September 13, 1996, Ms. Pina received correspondence from Mr. Lutz acknowledging receipt of the request for supplemental responses and forwarding a Praecipe for Listing Case for Trial. A copy of Mr. Lutz's leller, dated September 10, 1996, is allached hereto as Exhibit "H".I 15. As of the date of the l1Iing of this motion, PlaintilT has failed to supplement any of his responses as requested by defense counsel in its August 28, 1996 correspondence. See, Exhibit "E" 13. 16. For the reasons set forth in detail in the accompanying Memorandum of Law in Support of Defendants' Motion to Compel Discovery Responses, Plaintiff is obligated to supplement his responses to the following requests propounded by Defendants on May 25, I In this correspondence, Mr. Lutz mistakenly refers to Ms. Pina's "August 26, 1996 correspondence"; the correct date of that correspondence is August 28, 1996. .4. 1996: Request for Admission Nos, 2, 5, 6, 7,10, 17 and 18; Interrogatory No. I(b); and, Request for Production of Documents No.3.

Inc, LUIS SANTIAGO IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CIVIL ACTION - LAW vs. KENNETH LEISENRING and WASTE MANAGEMENT OF PENNSYLVANIA, INC, NO, 95-1158 ., MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY RESPONSES I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND On May 25, 1996, Dcfcndants Kenncth Leisenring and Waste Management of Pcnnsylvania, Inc, (hereinafter referred to as "Defcndants") scrvcd Dcfcndants' Rcquest for Admissions Directed to Plaintiff with Accompanying Intcrrogatories and Request for Production of Documents (hcreinafter referrcd to as "Defendants' Request for Admissions" or "Defendants' discovery"). The discovery propounded by Defendants was specifically fonnulated to narrow the issues to be presented to this Court in connection with the motion for summary judgment to be Iile by Defendants, As set forth in greater detail in the accompanying Motion to Compel Discovery responses. Plaintill. hus failed to adequutely respond to Defendants' Request for Admissions. For the reasons set forth below, Defendants I ~ I, 1.1 seck a order from this Court compelling Plaintiff to fully respond to Defendants' discovery. II. LEGAL AIWlJMENT A. PLAINTIFF'S FAILURE TO FULLY RESPOND TO DEFENDANTS' DISCOVERY REQUESTS IS IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE REGARDING DISCOVERY. Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure (hereinafter referred to as "Pa. R.C.P.") 400 I et seq. set forth the type and scope of discovery which is permissible in a civil action. The purpose of discovery as established by those rules is to prevent surprise and unfairness, thus allowing for a fair trial on the merits, Commonwealth v. Kauffman, 413 Po. Super. 527, 605 A.2d 1243 (1992); Clark v. Hoerner, 362 Pa, Super. 588, 525 A,2d 377 (1987); Kaminski v. Employers Mut. Casualty Co., 338 Pa. Super. 400, 487 A.2d 1340 (1985). The rules of discovery arc intended to prevent trial by ambush. Clark v, Hoerner, 362 Po, Super. 588, 525 A.2d 377 (1987). A second aim of discovery is to expedite and facilitate, rather than delay and burden, the progress of litigation. Commonwealth v. Kauffman, 413 Po. Super. 527, 605 A.2d 1243 (1992); Cosner v, Ricci, 45 D & C2d 286 (1968); Culler v. CUller, 23 D & C2d 257 (1961). With regard to requests for admissions, specifically, the "prime purpose [thereof] is to be construed os in the aid of the preparation and argument of [a] motion for summary judgment," Glaudel v, Bossert, 51 D & C2d 251, 255 (1971). As a general principle, the rules governing discovery should be liberally construed. Sznrmaek v. Welch, 456 Pa. 293, 3]8 A.2d 707; Zahler v. Ford Molor Co., 6 D & C3d 79 (1976); Glisson v. Carlin. 34 D & C2d 433 (1964), -2- Pa.R,C.P. 4003,1 establishes the permissible scope of discovery. That rule reads, in pertinent part, as follows: (a) Subject to the provisions of Rules 4003.2 to 4003.5 inclusive and Rule 40\\. a party may obtain discovery regarding any maller, not privileged, which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action, whether it relates to the claim or defense of the party seeking discovery or to the claim or defense of any other party, including the existence, description, nature, content, custody, condition and location of any books, documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable maller, The permissible methods of obtaining discovery, as set forth in Pa, R,C.P. 400\(d), include wrillen interrogatories, requests for the production of documents and requests for admission, Pursuant to Pa, R.C.P. 4005, interrogatories may relate to any mallers which can be inquired into under Rules 4003.\ through 4003,5 inclusive. Pursuant to Pa. R.C,P. 4014, a party may serve upon another party a wrillen request for the admission of the truth of any matters within the scope of Rules 4003.\ through 4003,5 inclusive set forth in the request that relate to statements or opinions of fact or of the application of law to fact, As set forth in greater detail in Sections 11(8) - (F), below, Plaintiff has failed to fully and accurately respond to Defendants' discovery requests which seek information clearly within the scope of permissible discovery as set forth in Pa, R.C,P. 4003.1. For ., example, PlaintilT has failed to sufficiently respond to certain of Defendants' interrogatories to which he has raised no objection. This is impermissible under Pa, R.C.P. 4006(a)(2), ~, Kern v, Bethlehem Steel Co., 2\ D & C3d 163 (1981 )(stating that in order to justify the failure to sufficiently respond to an interrogatory, a party must file appropriate objections or IIpply for a protective order,) Further, PlllintilT has violated the rules governing discovery by responding to certain Requests for Admission by directing Defendants to curlier, nonresponsive nnswcrs, Sl:J:, Mnrtin v, Enston Pub, Co., 85 F.R,(), 312 (1980)(holding thnt II -3. ~, pnrty cnnnot nnswcr one interrogntory simply by referring the opposing pnrty to nnother equn\1y unresponsive answer.) Accordingly, Defendnnts nre entitled to an ordcr compe\1ing Plaintiff to fu\1y and accurately respond to the discovery requests outlined below. 8. PLAINTIFF MUST ADMIT OR DENY THE EXISTENCE OF SPECIFIED EVIDENCE. Pa. R,C.P. 4104, goveming requests for admission, rends, in pertinent pnrt, as fo\1ows: (b) ". The answer shn\1 admit or deny the mntter or set forth in detail the reasons why the answering pnrty cannot truthfu\1y do so. A deninl sha\1 fnirly meet the substance of the requested admission, and when good faith requires that a party qualify his answer or deny only a part of the matter of which an admission is requested, he sha\1 specify so much of it as is true and qualify or deny the remainder. An answering pany may not give lack of infonnation or knowledge as a reason for failure to admit or deny unless he states thnt he has made reasonable inquiry and that the infonnation known or readily obtainable by him is insufficient to enable him to admit or deny. 1. Request for Admission No.2, Defendants' Request for Admission No, 2 reads as fo\1ows: "Plaintiff has no evidence that he was not doing work for Waste Management on the day of the accident described in the complaint." (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintil1's original response states: "It is admitted that my employer, CapilOl Area Temps, assigned me to do work for Waste Management." (See, Exhibit "B",) Plnintill's supplemental response states: "It is admitted that 1 perfonned services for Waste Manugement on the day of the accident as 1 was directed by my employer." (See, Exhibit "F".) Request for Admission No, 2 usks thnt I'luintiff udmitthut he hus no evidence thnt he wus not doing work for Wuste Munugement on the dnte in question. Both Pluintifl's originnlund supplclllcntul rcsponses fuilto udmit or dcny whcthcr I'luintirf hus the spccificd -4- evidenee; ruther, they state the identity of the party for whom Plaintiff eontends he was working on the day in question. Pn, R.C,P, 40]4 requires, first, that Plaintiff either admit or deny the faet stated and, second, if the response is a denial, that the denial fairly meet the substance of the requested admission. The response provided by Plaintiff fails to comply with either of these requirements of Rule 4014, Accordingly, Plaintiff should be compelled to specifically admit or deny that he has no evidence that he was not doing work for Waste Management on the day of the accident deseribed in the complaint. 2. Request for Admission No. 10. Defendants' Request for Admission No. ]0 reads as follows: "Plaintiff has no evidence that, on the day of the accident deseribed in the complaint, a representative or employee of a company other than Wasle Management monitored his job performance." (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintifrs original response states: "See Plaintil1's Response to Request for Admission Nos. 11 and 2. It is assumed that Defendant Leisenring watchcd me perform the work." (See, Exhibit "B".) Plaintil1's supplemental response reads: ,"To Mr. Santiago's knowledge, only Defendant Leisenring watehed him perform the work during the time period before the subject motor vehicle accident." (See, Exhibit "F".) For the reasons diseussed in section II(B)(I), above, Plaintifrs response is inadequate; specifically, it neither admits nor denies the fact set forth in the request, and the stated response does not fairly meet the substance of the requested admission, Accordingly, Plaintiff should be compelled to specifically admit or deny that he has no evidence that, on the day of the accident described in the complaint, a representative or employee of a company other than Waste Management monitored his job performance. 1 Plaintifrs response to Request for Admission No, I reads ns follows: "It is admitted lhnt I wns directed by Capitnl Aren Temps, my employer, to report to Wnste Management to do work liJr that company." (See, Exhihit "B".) -5. Defendants' Request for Admission No. 18 reads as follows: "Plaintiff 3. RCQucst for Admission No. 18. has no evidence that, on the day of the accident described in the complaint, representatives or employees of any company other than Waste Management eontrolled the manner in which he pcrfomled the job to which he was assigned." (See, Exhibit "A",) Plaintifrs original response reads: "See response to request for admission no. 17". The referenced response reads "My employer, Capital Area Temps would direct when to report and where to go, Waste Management assigned me to go with Defendant Leisenring." (See, Exhibit "B".) Plaintifl's supplemental response was merely a reiteration of his original response. (See, Exhibit "F".) For the reasons discussed in section I1(B)( 1), above, Plaintifl's response is inadequate; speeifically, it neither admits nor denies that malter set forth in the request, and the stated response docs not fairly meet the substance of the requested admission, Accordingly, Plaintiff should be compelled to specifically admit or deny that he has no evidence that, on the day of the accident described in the complaint, representatives or employees of any company other than Waste Management controlled the manner in which he perfonned the job to which he was assigned. C. PLAINTIFF MUST SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY THE WITNESSES WHICH HE GENERICALLY REFERS TO IN HIS I>ISCOVERY RESPONSES AS "OTHER EMPLOYEES OF CAPITAL AREA TEMPS". I. InterrollntOl:Y No. Hb), Defendants' Interrogntory No. \(b) directs PlaintilT to state the facts upon which he relies to support his answers to Request for Admission Nos, I and 2. (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintifrs supplemental response reads: "See the employment personnel files .6. maintained by Cupital t.reu Temps. Secondly, Brian J. Gaughan, as well as other employees of Capital Area Temps, and Mr. Santiago will testify about Capital Area Temps' control of Mr. Santiago in directing the location of where he would work on a given day." (See, Exhibit "F".) Pa. R,C.P. 4003.1 specifically provides that the identity and location of persons having knowledge of any discoverable maller is within the scope of permissible discovery. Based upon his response to Interrogatory No, I(b), it is evident that Plaintiff intends to rely upon employees of Capital Area Temps to support his claim that he was doing work for that entity on the date of the subject accident, Pursuant to Pa, R.C,P. 4003.1, Defendants are entitlcd to the identity and location of those other Capital Area Temps employees to which Plaintiff referred in his response to this interrogatory. Accordingly. Plaintiff should be compelled to provide the name and address of the other employees of Capital Area Temps to which he referred in his response to Interrogatory No. l(b), 2. Request for Admission No.6. Defendants' Request for Admission No.6 reads as follows: "Plaintiff has no evidence that, while performing his job at Waste Management on the day of the accident described in the complaint, his supervisor was a representative or employee of a company other than Waste Management." (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintifl's original response reads: "Denied. See answer to no,S." The referenced response reads as follows: "My supervisors were employees from Capital Area Temps, my employer, Persons at Capital Area Temps directed me to go to Waste Management on the morning of the subject accident. While on the job, I followed the directions of Defendant Leisenring," (See, Exhibit "B",) Plaintifl's supplemental response reads: "Denied. See answer to no. 5.~ The evidence will be 1 The response to no. 5 rcmained thc SUIllC in Pluintll1's supplemcntul rcsponses, -7- the testimony from Brian J. Gaughan, other employees of Capital Area Temps that directed Mr. Santiago and Mr. Santiago," (See, Exhibit "F".) For the reasons discussed in section 1I(C)(t), above, Plaintiffs response is inadequate; specifically, it fails to adequately identify the "other employees of Capital Area Temps" referred to in that response. Accordingly, Plaintiff should be compelled to provide the name and address of the persons referred to in his response to Request for Admission No. 6. D. PLAINTIFF MUST ADMIT OR DENY THE FACT THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF CAPITAL AREA TEMPS WAS ON-SITE AT WASTE MANAGEMENT ON nm DATE OF THE ACCIDENT. 1. Request for Admission No.7. Defendants' Request for Admission No.7 reads as follows: "On the day of the accident described in your complaint, there was no representative of Capitol Area Temporary Services on-site at Waste Management who acted as a supervisor of the Capitol Area Temporary Services temporary workers working at Waste Management or who instructed the temporary workers ",ith regard to how they were to perfonn their job at Waste Management." (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintiffs original response reads: "I don't think unyone from Capital Area Temps was at Waste Management, but I am 1I0t positive." (See, Exhibit "B".) As stated in Section II(B), IIbove, Pa. R.C,P. 4014 states thai an answering party "may not give lack of infonnation or knowledge as a reason for failure to admit or deny unless he states that he has made reasonable inquiry alld that the infonnation known or readily obtainable by him is insunicientto enable him to IIdmit or deny." In the present case, Plaintiff has flliled to either IIdmit or deny the muller set forth in Request for Admission -8- No.7. Further, Plnintiff hns fniled to indiente thnt he hns mnde n rensonnble inquiry nnd thnt the informntion known or rendily obtninnble by him is insufficient to ennble him to admit or deny. Thus, Plnintiffs has failed to comply with the requirements of Pa. R.C.P. 4014. Accordingly, Plaintiff should be compelled to provide a full and accurate response to Request for Admission No.7, either admitting or denying the maller contained therein, or attesting that he has made a reasonable inquiry nnd thnt, bnsed thereon, he is unable to either admit or deny thnt no representative of Cnpital Aren Temps was on-site nt Wnste Manngement on the date of the subject incident. E. PLAINTIFF MUST ADMIT OR DENY FACTS REGARDING THE ENTITY WHICH SUPERVISED AND CONTROLLED HIS WORK ON THE DATE IN QUESTION. 1. Request for Admission No.5. Defendants' Request for Admission No.5 reads as follows: "While performing your job nt Waste Mnnagement on the day of the accident described in your complaint, your supervisor was a representntive or employee of Waste Manngement." (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintill's response reads: "My supervisors were employees from Capitnl Area Temps, my employer. Persons at Capitnl Area Temps directed me to go to Waste Manngement on the morning of the subject nccident. While on the job, I followed the directions of Defendant Leisenring." (See, Exhibit "B".) Plnintiffs supplemental response consists of merely a reiteration of his original response. (See, Exhibit "F".) Plaintiffs response fails to either admit or deny the fnct set forth in this request for admission. Further, even if the response is deemed a deninl. it fails to fairly meet the substance of the requested admission. Specifically, the requested admission is tlmt mill.!: performinl1 his iob at Waste Mnnnl1ement, his supervisor was a representative or employee of .9- Waste Management. Thus, the requested admission is limitcd to the time period while PlaintilT was performing his duties at Waste Management. Given the scopc of the rcquest, the fact that persons from Capital Arca Temps directed PlaintilT to go to Waste Managemcnt that morning is irrelcvant. Accordingly, Plaintiff should be compelled to either admit or deny the matter set forth in Request for Admission No.5, and if the response provided is a denial, to have the same address specifically the basis for the denial that the person who supcrvised him during the period that he performed his duties at Wastc Management was an employce or representativc of that entity. 2. Request for Admission No. 17. Dcfendants' Request for Admission No. 17 reads as follows: "On the day of thc accident described in your complaint, representatives or employees of Waste Management controlled the manner in which you performed the job to which you were assigned." (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintill's rcsponse reads: "My employer, Capital Arca Temps would direct me when to report and whcrc to go. Waste Managemcnt assigncd mc to go with Dcfendant Lcisenring." (Sec, Exhibit "B".) Plaintiffs supplemental responsc was merely a reiteration of his original rcsponsc. (Sce, Exhibit "F".) For the reasons discussed in section I1(E), above, Plaintill's rcsponse is inadequate; specifically, it fails to admit or deny thc matter set forth in that requcst, and if thc response is dccmed a denial, it fails to fairly meclthe substance of thc requested admission. Accordingly, PlaintilT should be compelled to either admit or deny thc mattcr sct forth in Request for Admission No. 17, and if the rcsponsc providcd is a dcnial, to havc the same address specifically the basis for the denial that a representative of Waste Management controllcd the manner in which he performed thc job to which hc was assigncd subsequent to his arrival at the facility on thc datc of the accident. F. PLAINTIFF MUST PRODUCE ALL ImSl'ONSIVE DOCUMENTS. I. Request for Produetion of Documents No.3. Defendants' Requesl for Production of Documents No.3 seeks thc production of any and all documents that are relevant to or upon which PlaintilT relied in preparing his responses to Request for Admission Nos. 5 and 6 and Interrogatory No.3. (See, Exhibit "A".) Plaintill's original rcsponse rends: "See answer to Interrogatory I(c)." Thc refercnced response reads: "Brian J. Gaughan." (See, Exhibit "B".)

Cumberland County C,C,P" No, 95-1158 Our File No, 15411 P22 Dear Mr. Lutz: I have received and reviewed Plaintiffs Answers to Dcfendants' Request For Admissions Directed to Plaintiff with Accompanying Interrogatories and Request For Production Of Documents. Severnl of the answers provided are not responsive to, or fail to provide an adequate rcsponse to, the respective request. Accordingly, I am requesting that you provide an amended or supplcmental rcsponsc to Ihc rcquests outlined bclow. ReQucst For Admission No, 2 This request asks that you admit that plaintiff has no cvidence that he IVas not doing work for Waste Management on thc day of Ihe accident described in the complaint. Plaintiff responded as follows: "It is admitted that my employcr, Capitnl Area Tcmps, assigned me to do work for Waste Management," The answer provided is not responsive to the request, which asks whethcr plaintiff has any evidence of the specified fact. Further, it is contradictory to plaintiffs answcr to the prior request for admission, in which plaintiff stated that, on thc date in question, he went "to Waste Munngement 10 do work for that company," (emphasis added.) The only appropriate response to this request is either un unequivocal admission or ,unequivocal denial. Please provide the applicable response, and, if that is a denial, provide a response to Intcrrogatory No, I (b), which asks for all facts which plaintiff relies upon to support the response to Request For Admission No, 2, and a response to Requcst For Production of Documents No, I, .' I"~ ."..,.,,',11I~~"r.a..<-~#..'...,.. .._,...-...-~..~-, iN ~_~~. . ", .. , , . Interrol(atory No. 1 (;!) This interrogatory asks for thc namc of thc cntity for which plaintiff contends he was working on thc datc of the accidcnt. Plaintiffs rcsponsc. "Capital Arca Tcmps was my employer", is not responsive to thc specific qucstion posed, Furthcr, the stat cd rcsponse is contradictory to plainllffs response to Request For Admission No. I, that lIe went "to Waste Managemcnt to do work for that company." Kindly providc an amended response cithcr admitting or denying that plaintiff was working for Wastc Managemcnt on the date of the accident, Reouest For Admission No, 5 I i l I I I I I I I I I I I I I This request seeks an admission thet, while performing his job at Waste Management on the day of the accident, plaintiffs supervisor was a representative or employee of Waste Management, Plaintiff responded as follows "My supervisors were employees from Capitol Area Temps, my employer, Persons at Capitol Area Temps directed me to go to Waste Management on the morning of the subjcct accidcnt. While on thc job, I followcd the directions of Defendant Leisenring." The inquiry contained in this request, as to whcther plaintiffs supervisor was an employee or representative of Waste Management, is limited to the time period while plaintiff was performing his job at Waste Management. Thus, the fact that a representative of Capitol Area Temps directed Luis Santiago to report to Waste Management that morning is irrelevant. Kindly provide an amended responsc either admitting or denying that the person who supervised plaintiff while performing his iob at Waste Management on the day of the accident was a representative or employec of Waste Managemcnt. By the term "supervisor," Wastc Management means the person who oversaw, directed or managed the work performed by Luis Santiago at Waste Management on thc date of the nccident, Requcst For Admission No.6 This rcquest seeks an admission that plaintiff has no evidence that, while performing his job at Waste Management on the day of thc accident dcscribed in the complaint, his supervisor was a representative or employce of a company other than Waste Management. For the reasons set forth in the discussion of Request For Admission No, 5, above, plaintiffs response, "Denied, See answer to no. 5", is non-responsive. Further, the response fails to indicate whether plaintiff has any evidence to support his contention, Kindly provide a supplemental response, cither admining or denying that plaintiff has no evidence to establish that his supervisor whilc performing his job at Waste Management was a representative or employee of a company other than Waste Management, .

Plaintiff supplied the same response as was provided to Request For Admission No, 9, The answer provided is not responsive to the requcst, which asks whcther plaintiff has any cvidencc of the spccificd fact. Furthcr, for the reasons sct forth in the prcccding discussion rcgarding the response provided to Requcst For Admission No.9, thc answer to the present rcquest is non-responsive. Kindly provide an amended response to this requcst, either admitting or denying that plaintiff has no evidencc that a rcpresentative of a company other than Waste Management monitorcd his job performance on thc date in question. Intcrrol!atorv and Request For Production of Documcnt!i No.5 Thcse items request that, if plaintiifs response to Request For Admission Nos. 9 and 10 are anything other than an unequivocal admission, the information outlined therein be provided. As plaintiffs response to Requcst For Admission Nos, 9 and 10 were not an unequivocal admission, kindly provide all information requested in Interrogatory and Request For Production Of Documents No.5. Reouest For Admission No. 17 This request seeks an admission that on thc day of the accidcnt, representatives or cmployees of Waste Managemcnt controlled the manner in which plaintiff performed the job to which he had been assigned by Wastc Managcmcnt. Plaintiff responded as follows: "My employcr, Capitol Area Temps would direct when to report and wherc to go. Waste Managemcnt assigned me to go with Defendant Leisenring," This rcquest sceks the identity of thc pcrson(s) who controlled the work that plaintiff performed for Wastc Manajement, That a rcprcsentativc from Capitol Area Temps may havc directed plaintiff to report to Waste Managcmcnt and thc time at which he was to report is completely irrelevant to thc qucstion as poscd. The question is who controlled the manner in which plaintiff performed the work he performed on behalf of Waste Managemcnt. Kindly provide an amended response, cithcr admitting or dcnying that a representativc of Waste Management controlled the manner in which plaintiff performed the job to which hc had been assigned by Waste Management. By the term "controlled", Waste Management means directed or regulated the manner in which plaintiff performcd the job which Waste Management assigncd him to perform.

Welker, Prothonotary of Cumberland County, on July 18, 1996, I was surprised to leam that you had filed this praecipe, in light of the fact that you are aware of our intention to file a motion for summary judgment which could, potentially, dis~ .~ol of this action. For the reasons set forth in greater detail below, we do nnt concur with your assessment that this mailer is ready for trial. When we met for the deposition of Alfredo Santiago on May 15, 1996, I advised you that we intended to file a motion for summary judgment, but that additional discovery needed to be taken prior to the filing of that motion, On May 25, 1996, I propounded Defendants' Request for Admissions Directed to PlaintilT with Accompanying Interrogatories and Request for Production of Documents. Plaintiffs responses thereto were received on or about June 26, 1996, By leller dated July 3, 1996, I set forth in detail the insufficiency of the responses provided to approKimate1y thirteen of defendants' requests, and asked t11at supplemental responses be provided, As of the date of this leller, I have received no response to my July 3, 1996 correspondence, The discovery propounded by defendants on May 25, 1996 relates specifically to the issue forming the basis of the motion for summary judgment which defendants intend to file in this mailer. As outlined in my leller of July 3, 1996. defendants are entitled tp , . , David Lutz, Esquire July 22, 1996 Page 2 supplemental responses to several of the requests contained in that set of discovery. Kindly provide the same by Monday. July 29, 1996, or I will file a motion to compel further responses.

ESQUIRE I, Mary Ellen Fitzgerald Pina, Esquirc, having been duly sworn according to law, depose and state that the following arc true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief: I, I am counsel for Defcndants, Kenncth Leiscnring and Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Ine" in this maller, 2, On May 25, 1996, I scrved upon Plaintill's counsel Defendants' Requcsts for Admission with Accompanying Interrogatorics and Request for Production of Documents, 3. Plaintiff's responses thereto were received in this office on or about June 26, 1996, 4. On July 3, 1996, I forwurded a Icttcr to Duvid Lutz, counsel for Luis Santiago, outlining in detail the inadequucy of Pluintifl's rcsponscs, unu rcquesting tllUt , PlaintilT supplement his responses, A copy of the July 3, 1996 correspondence is ullached as Exhibit "e" to the instant motion to compel discovery responses. 5. On July 22, 1996, huving received no responsc from Mr. Lutz to my July 3, 1996 correspondencc, I forwarded another leller to Plaintifl's counsel requesting thut he provide supplemental responses by July 29, 1996, 6, On July 24, 1996. I received a voicemuil message from a woman who identified herself as Deborah from David Lutz's office. Deboruh indicated that Mr, Lutz was currcntly preparing the supplemental responses and thut he hoped to fax them over to our office by July 29, 1996, 7. Later that afternoon, I contacted Deborah und stated that if Mr, Lutz had any problem serving the supplemental responses by the established deadline, he need merely contact me to discuss ulternate arrangements for providing the responses, 8. By July 31, 1996, having neither received the supplemental responses nor heard from Mr. Lutz as to when I might expect to receive the same, I placed a call to Plaintill's counsel. Mr, Lutz was not available, and, therefore, I again spoke with Deborah, who advised that David Lutz had dictated the supplemental responses, but that his secretary had a backlog of eighttapcs of dictation and, therefore, she could not estimate when they would go out, She further indicated that the responses would be mailed out as soon as they were transcribed. 9. As of August 6, 1996, I hud yet to receive Plaintil1's supplemental responses, On that date, I left a Inessuge for Mr, Lutz to contact me to discuss when I could expect to receive the responses, In response to my cull, Mr, Lutz left a message on my -2- , ."" _. . ,... ,.,-- ,,' . ~ ,". ,,'" ," ..,----;-'-.~-"'~. ...:...:.-....;:..~-~ t. \ i voice mail in which he stated that he had dictated further responses but that he "was confidcnt that they would not be fully acceptablc; therefore [I] should proceed to tile a motion to compeL" i 10. Later that afternoon, I contacted David Lutz and advised him tlmt I would not file a motion to compel until I had reviewed Plaintiffs supplemental responses, as I would prefer to allempt to resolve the discovery dispute voluntarily between the parties. further stated that I found it necessary to establish a deadline for the production of the supplemental responses due to the fact that he had recently filed a Praecipe Listing Case for trial; however, I was agreeable to extcnding that deadline in order to give him the time he needed to adequately respond to the discovery requests. Mr. Lutz stated that he wanted me to "get going" with filing thc motion for summary judgment, to which I rcsponded that the solc reason for the delay was the outstanding discovery responses, 11. On August 28, 1996, after reviewing Plaintiffs supplemental discovery responses, I again wrote to Mr, Lutz outlining the insufficiencies of thc responses provided, and requesting that he supplement the responses by September 6, 1996, 12, On September 13, 1996, I reccived a leller from David Lutz acknowledging receipt of my August 28, 1996 correspondence and forwarding a Praecipc for Listing Case for Trial. \' -3- . 13, As of lhe date of the filing of this motion, I'laintiO' has fuiled to provide supplemenlal discovery responses, ~~, ~~:/;J. ~.dat'?( ?,!",,: MAR~ ELLEN p~ ZGERALD PINA, ESQUIRE SWORN TO AND S~SCRIBED befor me this / 7 I ;:c., day of Tf ~ .1996. /ok Notary Public NOTARIAL S::AL ADEUNE VIGGIANO, Notal'!

It is admitted that Plaintiff has not filed a second supplement to his responses as it is the Plaintiff's position that the responses filed thus far are sufficient.

Also, "Donna" at capital Area Temps would pay Mr. santiago for his services. 16. Denied.

Accordingly, Plaintiff is barred from recovery against DefenJant Leisenring in accordance with Section 72 of the Act, which governs the liability of a fellow employee with regard to injuries for which the claimant has been compensated under thc Act. Section 72 provides that a co-employee may not be held eivilly liable to the injured cmployee lor injuries sustllined as II result of the co-employee's ..2.. .", ". negligent conduct.

(n) If Waste Management was displeased for any reason with the performance of the temporary employee providcd by CAT, they could contact CAT and requcst a repllleement. (See, Exhibit "M", page 44, Iincs 16-19.) 14. The issue of whcthcr an employer is a "statutory employer" for purposes of the Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Act is properly the subjcet of a motion for summary judgment, and the question as to "whether the facts as they arc dctermined to exist constitute an employment relationship is strictly a question of law," Wilkinson v. K.Mart, 412 Pa. Super. 434, 438, 603 A,2d 659, 661 (1992) (quoting Keller v. Old Lveominll Township, 286 Pa. Super. 339, 345,428 A.2d 1358, 1361 (1981)); Enl1lish v. Lehil!h County Authority, 286 Pa. Supcr. 312, 322, 428 A.2d 1343, 1348 (1981). 15. The I'ennsylvanill Supreme Court, in JFC Temps. Inc. v. Workmen's Compenslltion Appeals BOllrd ((.indsay lInd G&R I'aekinll), _ I'a. _, 680 A.2d 862 (1996), recently addressed the issue of which entity constitutes the statutory employer in situations whcre a temporary placement ugeney provides 1I worker to another company to perform a job lor that entity. The JFC Temps. Inc. court eonlirmed that, applying the "borrowed servllnt" doctrine, the party which hlls the right 10 control the manncr in which the -9- worker pcrforms his duties is thc statulory cmploycr. A copy of the JFC Temps. Inc. decision is allllchcd hereto liS Exhibit "N". 16. Applying the borrowcd servnnt doctrine, Wuste Manllgement was Luis Santiago's statutory employer as of the date he sustaineu thc work-reluted injuries forming the basis of this lawsuit. Accordingly, Plaintiff's c1l1ims lIgainst Waste Management arc barred by the provisions of the Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Act, 77 Pa.C.S.A. * I jj~, pllrticularly the cxclusivity provision eontaincd in Section 481. 17. Furthermore, as Plaintiff was an cmployee of Waste Management on the dute in question, Defendant Leiscnring was his co-employee. Section 72 of the PWCA provides that a co-cmployee may not be hcld civilly Iillble to thc injured employee for injuries sustained as a rcsult of the co-employee's negligence. Accordingly, Plaintifrs claims against Defendant Leiscnring arc barred by Section 72 of the Act. 18. In anticipation of filing this motion, Defendants served discovery upon Plaintiff to have him admit facts and disclose all of his evidcnce regarding the malleI' at issue. ( See, Exhibit "F".) Plaintifrs original rcsponses were insufficient and, therefore, in a leller detailing the inadequacy of the rcsponscs, Defendants requestcd that supplemental responses be provided. Over five weeks later, and aileI' several rcmindcrs from Dcfendants' eounscl, Plaintiff scrvcd supplcmental answers, which failed to remedy the inadequacies of the original responscs. Defendants again provided Plaintift's counsel with a dctailed lIceounting of the insufficiency of several responses and requested that Plaintiff provide complete responses to the diseovcry. Plaintiff's responsc, rather than to provide further information, was to file a trial praecipe. Immediately thercaller, Dcfendants filed a motion lor morc sufficient answers to the their discovcry and a December 5. 1996 hellring on that motion has been sct by The Honorable Kcvin A. Hess. A copy of Delendunts' motion and the order scheduling the -10- December 5, 1995 hcaring datc lire allachcd hcrcto as Exhihit "0".

INTRODIICTION This case arises out of injuries sustained by Plaintiff, Luis Santiago, on April 13, 1994 while he was working lor Defendant, Waste Management of I'ennsylvanill, Inc. (hcreinaller "Wastc Management"). Mr. Santiago had bccn placed at Wastc Managcment by Capitol Area Temps, Inc. (hereinaftcr "CAT"), a tempornry plaecmcnt agency, and had been assigned by Waste Management to aid O'1e of its employees. Defcndant Kenneth Leiscnring, in the collection of rceyclable trash of eustomcrs situllted 1I10ng one of Waste Managcmcnt's designated routcs. This job rcquircd that Plaintiff ride in a Waste Manugementtruek, which was being operatcd by Mr. Leiscnring. The day of thc aeeidcnt was thc Iirst day of Mr. Santiago's assignment at Waste Management. That morning, he rcportcd to ClIrlton Scott, the supervisor of Wastc \ \ ............, . .~, Management's Camp Hill fucility, who 1Illvised him of the joh hc wus to pcrfi>rlllund thc employee with which he would work thut dllY. Mr. SlIntiugo lInd Kenncth Leiscnring thcn set out on their assigncd route. At the lirst stop, Delendunt Leisenring cxplllined to I'luintilT specilieally how he was to pcrform the job, und then delllonstrntcd the sUllle lilr him.

SUMMARY OF AIWIJMENT Plaintifrs civil action uguinst Waste Management is precluded by the Pennsylvllnia Workmen's Compcnsation Act, 77 Pa.C.S.A. ~ I ~ Sl:Q.. (hereinafter "PWCA" or the "Act"), which accords immunity to the statutory employer with r~gard to work-related injuries sustained by an employee. Applying the "borrowed servant" doctrine, Plaintiff is deem cd an employee of Waste Managcment, as it controlled both the work pcrformed by Mr. Santiago and the manncr in which it was performed. Thercforc, Waste MlInagement is cntitled to immunity from suit by Plaintiff in accordance with the exclusivity provision of the PWCA. Furthermore, Plaintifrs civil action against Kenneth Lcisenring is precluded by section 72 of the Act, which addrcsses the liability of fellow cmployees with regard to work-rclated injuries. That section provides thut a co-employee may not be held civilly liable to the injured employee for damages IIrising out of injuries sustaincd as 1I result of the co-employee's ncgligence. Based upon the forcgoing, Waste Management and Kenneth Leisenring arc immune from all eivillillbility in connection with the personal injuries sustained by Luis Santiago on April 13, 1994.

In the typienl employment situlltion, the detcrmination of who constitutes the statutory employer is clcar cut. However. in situations where lIn employce is placed by one entity, such liS a temporary employmentugcncy, with lInother cntity for whom that employee pcrforms a job, the question arises as to which entity constitutes the cmployer for purposes of the PWCA. It wus in responsc to this dilemmu thalu doctrinc known as the "borrowed servant" or "borrowed employee" doctrine was developed. The "borrowed servant" doctrine provides that "one who is in the general employ of one cmployer may be transferred to the service of another in such a manner that the employce bceomes an employee of the second employcr." Red Linc Exprcss Company. Inc. v. Workmen's Compensation Appcal Board ~), 138 Pa. Commw. 375, 380, 588 A.2d, 90, 93 (11)91).

Commw. 469,475,434 A.2d 228, 230 (1981), The test for detennining whether a worker rcmains an cmployee of his original employcr or becomes the employee of the borrowing entity was set forth by the Superior Court in Wilkinson v.

[Citations omilled; emphasis in the originul] Mutllre v. Anl:c1o, 373 Pa. 593, 97 A.2d 59 (\ 953). Wilkinson, 603 A.2d at 661. In Wilkinson, the plaintiff was cmployed by Trunseo lind, pursuant to u contract betwecn Transeo and K-Mart, was loaned to K-Mart to opcrate one of its trucks. While unloading a K-Mart truck, Mr. Wilkinson was injured when thc parcels in the truck fell on top of him. The plaintiff subscquently liIed suit against K-Mart, allcging that K-Mart was negligent in thc manner it which it loaded the truck. The Supcrior Court affimlcd the grant of K-Mart's motion lor summary judgmcnt, concluding that K-Mart WllS Mr. Wilkinson's statutory employer, and, therefore, was immune from civil liability arising out of thc plaintifrs work-rclated injuries. At the outset of its analysis, the Wilkinson court noted as follows: Although opinions eonsidcring the mallcr frequently mention such items as which employer uetually hired the scrvant, and which paid his wages, and which issued his W-2 Form, these arc pcriphcrnl mallcrs and not controlling. [citations omitted.] ({lither. "(t]he true measure remllins the common law definition of the master-servant rellltionshlp ... whether ... he continues IIl1ble to the direction and control of his mllster. or becomes subject to thllt of the pllrty to whom he is lent or hlred."[eitations omitted,] W. (emphasis added.) Focusing on thc sole dctenninative issue of which pllrty hlld the right to control the work pcrformcd by the plaintifl: the Wilkinson court eoneludcd that K-Mart eonstitutcd Mr. Wilkinson's employcr lor purposes of thc I'WCA. The court outlincd several luctors in s~pport of its conclusion. As lIn initilllmllller, the trucks driven by plllintiff bore the K-Mart -7- . ,', . " " .." ...~~----;~.., , . .. . . ",--, logo and were loaded solely with K-MlIrt ellrgo. Furthcr, pursulInt to the contruet exccutcd by K.Mart and Transeo, K-MlIrl retllined the right to dispatch, dircet the louding IInd unlollding of vehicles, select the routes, und direct the drivers liS to pick-ups, deliveries lInd other malleI's related to the dlly-to-day operution of the trucks. BlIsed upon thcse Iiletors, the court concluded that Mr. Wilkinson was 1I borrowcd cmploycc subject to the control of K-Murt in the performance of his duties. Accordingly, K-Mllrt, as the statutory cmployer, was immune from civil liability pursuant to the Act. The test relied upon by the Wilkinson court had previously bcen applied by the Superior Court in Enlllish v. Lchillh County Authority, 286 PlI. Super. 312, 428 A.2d 1343 (1981). In Enlllish, Kelly Scrviees ("Kelly") entercd into lIn agreement with the Lehigh County Authority (the "Authority"), pursuant to which it supplied temporary laborers to collect sewage samples at The Authority's sewage plllnt, Upon receiving a request for a laborer, Kelly instruetcd Mr. English to report to the Authority for a job assignment. When he arrived at the plant, an cmployce of the Authority directed him to a metering station, whcre he was to collect sewage samples. Mr. English wus found dead in the sewage pit at the end of his shin, apparently due to the inhalation of noxious fumes. A civil action subscquently initiated by the decedent's filmily gavc rise to the qucstion of which entity, Kelly or the Authority, was Mr. English's statutory employer lor purposes of the PWCA. Applying the test sctlorth above, the En\llish court granted the Authority's motion for summary judgmcnt based upon the borrowed scrvunt doctrine. In support of its dceision, the court emphasized that once Kelly providcd the workers with a job assignment, Kelly's control over the workers eellsed. In this regard, the court mllde the following obscrvation: -8- Although Kclly LlIhor hlld uhnost uhsolutc control over which of its workcrs would scrvice the nccds of which of its eustomcrs, it hnd no signilieuut eoutrul over the munncr in which thc workcrs ellrried out the work to which they wcrc ussigncd. Thus, for eXlImple, while Kelly LlIbor wus responsible Ihr plueing [the pluintiftl into the servicc of the [dclendllntl, once hc urrived Kclly Lubor did not purport to instruct [the plllintilll on how he should carry out the dcfendant's sewllge tcsting program. Thllt was clearly the province of the [dclendllntl. Kelly LlIhor had no supervisory pcrsonnel of uny kind lit the job sitc; nor did it con tempi lite training its workcrs to pcrform the vurious tusks to which it ussigncd at the request of its eustomcrs. Enl:lish, 428 A.2d at 1349. Thus, as Kelly had no control over thc munner in which thc tcmporary employecs curried out thc job to which thcy wcrc assigned, Kclly could not qUlllify as Mr. English's employer within the meuning of the Act. In its opinion, the Enl:lish court cxpressly rejcetcd the pluintift's argumcntthatthe fllct that Kelly issucd the deecdcnt's pllycheek, withheld 1I11 taxes, paid thc applicable unemployment tax, maintained the ncecssury workcr's eOl11pcnslltion insurllnce and retllincd the right to hirc, lire and removc him from 1I job, led to thc conclusion that it was the decedent's statutory employcr. In response, thc court notcd that lilt hough Kelly assumed responsibility lor tax withholding lInd thc maintenanec of worker's compensation insurance,)t billed its customers, including the Authority, al a rate which covcred the employec's salary as wcll as all of the aforementioncd dcduetions und expenses. Furthermore, the court noted, such factors did not alter the conclusion that the Authority l11uintaincd control over the temporary laborers assigned to it.

' .., \ . L';'..... ~. ,-"'--:--;-:=.:::=:--="::::~ . .' : . -'...... Temps. Inc. Court opincd that the luw governing the borrowcd employce is well-established, and that the tcst for dctermining whether a scrvllnt furnishcd by one pcrson to another beeomcs the cmployee of the person to whom he is loaned is whether the cmployee passcs undcr thc control of the borrowing entity with rcgard to the work to bc done und the manner of performing it, regardless of whether the control is uctulIlly excrciscd. Other factors may be eonsidcred whcn dctcrmining which pllrty is the statutory employer, but, in the words of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, the "overriding factor" is the right to control the performanec of the work. JFC Temps. Inc., 680 A,2d at 865. In that case, Alonzo Lindsay applied for u position with JFC Temps, Inc, ("JFC"), a temporary plaeemcnt agency. After reviewing his qualifications, JFC sent Mr, Lindsay to G&B Packing ("G&B") to work us atraetor-trllilcr driver. Shortly thcreafter, while exiting the cab of a G&B truck, Mr. Lindsay slipped and fell. He subsequently developed blot clots which necessitated the lImputation of his leg. Mr. Lindsay liIed 1I claim petition seeking eompcnsation from JFC, lInd the temp ugency joined G&B as an additional defendant. The workcr's compensation referee concluded that thc injuries were work-related and that JFC was responsible for paying Mr. Lindsay's eompcnsation benelits. On appeal, the Workmen's Compcnsation Appcals Board (hereinl1l1er "WCAB") concluded thut as the control and supcrvision of Mr. Lindsay's performllnee as 1I truck drivcr was in the hands of G&B, that entity was responsiblc for the pllymcnt of workers' compensation benclits. The Commonwclllth Court revcrscd the dccision of the WCAB, holding that JFC was Mr. Lindsay's employer lind, thcrclorc, was responsiblc paymcnt of his workers' eompcnsation bcnclits. -10- ~, The record considered by the Pennsylvania Suprcme Court in detcrmining which entity, JFC or G&B, was Mr. Lindsay's statutory cmp10yer eontuincd thc following fnets. When G&B requested that JFC supply a temporary employce (hercinallcr "temp"), thcy had no input into which temp was assigncd for the task. Furthcr, if G&B was not pleascd with the perfommnee of the temp, they could requcst that JFC provide 1I rcp1aeemcnt but could not lire the tcmp. Each morning, Alonzo Lindsay reported to G&B's Operations MlInagcr, who adviscd him of his schedulcd hours, providcd him with keys to a truck and indiented thc locations to which hc was to mllke delivcries. Although G&B hlld the right to select which route Mr. Lindsay would travel, it did not excrcise tlmt right. Upon completion of his assigned tasks, Mr, Lindsay reported back to G&B. With regard to JFC's involvement with Alonzo Lindsay subsequent to his placemcntllt G&B, the record revealed that no representative of JFC was ever on-site at G&B. However, if Mr. LindsllY WllS unable to work on any given day, he was to contact JFC and thcy would send a replacement to G&B. Finally, JFC determincd and paid Mr. Lindsay's salary, 1I1though his time slips were completed and signcd by a rcprcsentative of O&B. Aller outlining the facts set lorth above, the JFC Temps. Inc. court opincd that "[n]otwithstanding the fact that some factors weigh lIgainst linding G&B the responsible employer, the right to control the performllnee of the work is the overriding factor," .!EC Temps. Ine., 680 A.2d at 865 (emphusis lidded). Further, the evidcnce clearly established that it WllS O&B, not JFC, which maintaincd thc right to control the manner in which Mr. Lindsay performed his job ns 1I tractor-trniler driver. Specifically, G&B maintaincd lInd providcd the cquipmcnt Mr. Lindsuy used in cllrrying out his job, dirccted him liS to the -11- ....-., I' !' f. , 10clItions to which hc was to deliver, hlld the right to sclcct thc routcs he truvclled, cstablishcd his work hours and cvaluatcd his pcrlill'll1ance. Thus, the court eoneludcd, G&B hlld the right to eontrolthc mllnncr in which Mr. Lindsay perlimllcd his job. In its opinion, thc JFC Tcmps. Inc. court notcd thut its dccision \Vns in accord with cstablishcd case law involving thc borrowcd servant doctrine including Enlllish v. l.chillh County, which has bccn diseusscd in detail abovc. In Enlllish, the court held thatlllthough the tcmporllry ugeney retaincd somc control over the workcrs, the eompuny lor which the temp performed the work hnd sole control ovcr the manncr in which the work was carried out and, therefore, was hcld to bc the statutory employer. With regard to the issue of the excreise of control following the temp's plaecment, the JFC Tcmps. Inc. court notcd what it considcred to be of paramount importance: Similar to thc situations in English lInd Arpin, once CllIimllnt arrived at the tcmporary lIssignmcnt ..., his original employer [thc temporary employment agcncy] did not instruct him regarding the pCrfOl'll1anee of his work. In fllCt, [the temporary employmcntugcncy] hud no substantial contact with claimant othcr than proecssing his payehcek. JFC Tcmps. Inc., 680 A.2d at 866. The present case is fllctually lInlllogous to JFC Temps. Inc. und Enlllish. Mr, Santiago was chosen by CAT from its personnel pool to be sent to Waste Management's facility to perform a job for that company, The sole instructions which CAT supplied to PllIintiff was the job description and thc name of the pcrson to whom he wus to rcport upon his urrival at Waste Manllgement's fucility.l No one from CAT dirceted PlaintiO' in the mllnner in which he wus to pcrformthe job to which he WlIS lIssigncd nt Wastc Managcment; rllther, I'luintiff Sce puragrnphs H(lI), l}(a) lInd 9(b) of thc instllntmotion for sUl11mary judgment. -12- ,,-'"\ -' -, WlIS lIdviscd by CAT tllllt hc would he instruetcd liS to whut to do lInd how to pcrlorm his job by a rcprescntativc of Wllste Manllgcl11cnt.)

In fact, there was not even a reprcsentative of CAT on-site at Waste Management on the day of Plaintifrs accident.'

In addition to thc similllrities noted above, there urc othcr fnctual parnllels betwccn En~lish and the prcscnt case which deserve spccilll consideration. First is the timing of the temp's plaeemcnt with the borrowing entily. In both En\:lish and the present case, the temp sustaincd his injuries during his lirst day on thc job.1O Sceond, is the severity of the injuries sustained. Dclcndants do not dispute that PllIintiff sustaincd scrious injuries as a result of this accident. However, those sustained by the temp in En\:lish were far more severe -. they resulted in his dcath within hours. Third, is the issue of the payment of worker's eompcnsation benelits for the temporary employecs. Thc plaintiff in E1mfuh argucd that the customer of the temporary employment agency was not entitled to invoke thc tort immunity bceause it was not the one which providcd the deeellsed worker's workmens' compensation insurance nor any of the othcr employce benelits. The Supcrior Court exprcssly rejceted that argumentllnd correctly pointed out that: Thus, while [the temporary employment agency] paid its workers' wages and unemploymcnt compcnslltion tax, earricd its workers' workmcns' compcnsation insurance, and withheld fcdcral, statc and local taxes from its workers' wages, it risked 10 The fact that Plaintiff's assignmcnt at Wastc Managcment WlIS temporllry docs not affect the conclusion that Wasle Management was Mr. Santillgo's statutory employer at the time of his aeeidcnt. In order to cstablish un cmploymcnt relationship, it is not necessary that the borrowing cntity control the temporary employee's work for a signilieant amount of time. Thc determinative issuc is whcthcr thc borrowing entity had the control or the right of control over the cmployec with regard to thc work to be done and the manner in which it is pcrformcd. Virtue v.

It is cxpeetcd t11Ut Plnintin' wi\1try to frustrate Delendllnl's meritorious motion by contending thlltthere somchow arc issues of fact which nccd to be resolvcd by 1I jury. A careful review of the rceord of this ense revcnls tllllt such is not the ellse. In rClllity, the fllets arc undisputed as they pertain to the determination of what the Supreme Court in JFC Temps referrcd to as the "overriding factor" in identifying the statutory employer: which entity had the righlto eonlrolthe mllnner in which the employce pcrformed his work. The absence of any dispute regarding the relevant facts is highlightcd by the following admissions of Luis Santiago: (I) Aller his arrival at Waste Managcmcnt, he followcd thc instructions, directions and/or orders given to him by representatives of Waste Management in performing his job there. (See, Exhibit "G," answer to Rcquest for Admission number 3.) (2) While performing his job at Waste Managemcnt, Plaintiff followed the directions or Kenncth Leisenring, lIn cmployee of Waste Management.

(4) No one from CAT instructed Plaintiff in the manncr in which he was to perform the job to which he was assigncd by Waste Managcment, (See, Exhibit "G," answer to Request for Admission number 13.) (5) Plaintifi' has no evidence that, on the day of his lIeeident, there was a reprcsentative of CAT on-site lit Waste Management who acted as a supervisor of the CAT temporary workcrs or who instructed the temporllry workcrs with regard to how they were to perform thcir job at Waste Managcment.

Despitc the torcgoing, Plnintilr contends that Brian Gnughan of CAT was the one who eontrollcd the mllnner in which he carried out his work for Waste Management on the day of the accident. However, Mr. Gaughan's own testimony reveals thllt hc could not have controlled the I11nnncr in which Plnintiff performed his work that day beclIuse: (I) Mr. Gaughan was not prcsentllt Waste Mallagement on the date of Plaintifl's accident and has no personal knowledge of the evcnts which took place whcn Plaintiff nrrived at Waste Managemcnt's facility that day.

(2) Mr. Gaughan has no personal knowledge of the job which Plaintiff was sent to Waste Management to perform (sce, Exhibit "M," page 72, line 25, to page 73, line 6), nor of the information provided to Plaintiff by 11 represcntativc of CAT regarding the job he was to perform there, (See, Exhibit "M," page 79, lines 5-9.) (3) Mr. Gaughan did not provide PlaintiO' with any instructions regarding the work he was to perform at Waste Management. (Sce, Exhibit "M," page 83, lincs 13-18.) (4) Aller reporting to Waste Management, any qucstions which Plaintiff had regarding the mllnner in which he was to pcrform his job wcre to be direetcd to a reprcsentative of Waste Managcmcnl. (Sce, Exhibit "M," pagc 59, lines 1-18.) (5) The hours Plaintiff worked on the date of the aeeidcnt wcre determincd by Waste Management. (See, Exhibit "M," page 80, line 15, to pagc 81, line 10,) (6) Waste Managcment determined the route which Plaintiff workcd on the date of his necidenl. (Sce, Exhibit "M," pagc 97, Iincs 17-20.) -17- (7) Thcre was not II representative of CAT on-site at WlIste Managcment on n dnily basis to instruct or direct the tcmporary employees how to pcrform their job al Waste Mnnagement. (Scc, Exhibit "M," pllge 59, line ] 9, to puge 60, line 2.) It is disingenuous for Plaintiff to suggest that Brian Gaughan was the one who controlled the manner in which Mr. Santiago performed his work for Waste Management on the date of the accident when Mr. Gaughan had no knowledgc of the job Plaintiff was sent to Waste Management to pcrform. WIIS not prescnt at Waste Manllgement on thc day of the accident, has no pcrsollul knowledge of the events which took place, did not provide Plaintiff with any instructions regarding his work at Wastc Managcmcnt and admilled that the questions which Plaintiff had regarding the manner in which he was to perform his job were to be direetcd to a reprcsentalive of Waste Managemcnt. Plaintiff might also allemptto frustratc this meritoriolls motion by contending that it should be denied bccause it is supported by testimony evidence, citing the Nanty-Glo rule. Penn Center HOllse. Inc. v. Horfmlln, 520 Pa. 17],553 A. 2d 900 (1989). Any such contention by Plaintiff is misplaced for two reasons: (I) the motion is also supported by admissions made by Plaintiff in his discovery responses and (2) the key tcstimonilll evidence upon which Defendants rely is tcstimony of PlaintifTs own witnesses which supports the conclusion that WlIste Mllnagemcnt, not CAT, controlled that manner in which Plllintiff perfornled his work for Waste Manugemcnt on the day of thc accident. For example, as noted IIbove, Plnintifr has stated in his discovery rcsponses that Brian Gaughlln was the person who Mr, Santiago contends eontrollcd the munncr in which he pcrformcd his job nt WlIste MlInagement on the dllY of the accident. Mr. Gnughnn's -IS- -, testimony is cited to show tllllt hc could not possibly hllve controllcd the nuulller in which Plaintiff performcd his work lor WlIste MlInllgcmentlls Mr. Gaughan was not present lit Waste Manllgemcnt on the dllY of thc lIceidcnt, did not provide lIny instruction to Plaintiff about his job there and did not cven know the job that Plaintiff was sent to WlIste Manllgemcntto perform. As the Supremc Court observed in Penn Ccnter House: The Nanty.Glo rulc mCllns thllt: "Testimonial affidavits of thc movinll pllrty or his witnesses, not documcntary, even if uneontrudieted, will not afford sufficicnt basis for the entry of summary judgment, since the crcdibility of the testimony is still a matter for the jury." [citlltion omilled] Penn Center Housc, 553 A. 2d lit 903. (cmphasis add cd) The Nanty-Glo rule is not violatcd in the instllnt motion bccause the testimonial evidcnce on which Defcndants rely is thc testimony of thc opposing party and his witnesscs, not the that of lhe moving Pllrties lInd their witncsscs. The testimony of Defendant Leisenring is mentioncd only to show what Plaintin'did on the day of thc accident. Therc is no dispute that Plaintiff took his dircetions from Mr. Leisenring and Was Ie Managemcnt. Indccd, Plaintiff has frecly lIdmilled tllllt aileI' he arrived al Waste Management, he followed the instructions, directions and ordcrs given 10 him by representativcs of Waste Managcment in performing his job therc lInd that hc followcd the directions of Kenneth Leiscnring. The rccord of this case supports summary judgment in fnvor of Dclendllnts cven if the tcstimony of Kcnneth Leiscnring is not considered. .Il)- . ......_, ~. 4. Scetion 72 of thc Pcnn~)'lvllnill Workmcn's Compcnslltlon Act Immunlzcs Kcnncth Lclscnrinll from Lillblllty for Pllllntlfrs InJurics. Section 72 of the PWcA. which governs the liability of lellow employees, rcads as follows: If disability or death in compcnsuble undcr this act, 1I person shall not be liable to anyone at common law or otherwisc on lIeeount of such disability or death for any nct or omission occurring while such person was in the slime employ liS the person dislIbled or killed, execpt lor intcntional wrong.l~ As has bcen establishcd lIbove, PluintilT wns an cmployee of Waste Managcment on the day he sustained the injuries fornling the basis of this luwsuit, Thus, as Mr. Leisenring was Plaintiff co-employee, he cannot, pursuant to Section 72 of the Act, be held liable to Plaintiff unless he intentionally eommillcd the act resulting in I'laintifi's injurics. Plaintiff has not alleged, nor can he establish, that the subject aecidcnt resultcd from conduct on the part of Kcnneth Leisenring which rose to a levcl greater than negligence. Accordingly, Defendant Leisenring is immune from liability in the prescnt case by operlltion of Section 72 of the Act. V, CONCLUSION For the forcgoing reasons, Defendunts Waste Managcmcnt of Pennsylvania, Inc. and Kenneth Leiscnring arc entitlcd to judgment in their favor and ugainst Plllintiff Luis Santiago. As cstablished above, Waste Management wns Plaintifi's stututory cmployer at the time of thc aeeidcnt forming the basis of this lawsuit.

I was employed by Waste Management of Central Pennsylvania, a division of Waste Management of Pennsylvania, Inc. on April 13, 1994. 2. Luis Santiago worked with me on that date. 3. At the beginning of t~e work day, Mr. Santiago was told to go work with me by Carlton Scott, Resident Supervisor, of Waste Management of Central Pennsylvania. 4. Mr. Santiago and I spent the day collecting recyclable trash of customers of Waste Management of Central Pennsylvania in the area of York, Pennsylvania, using a truck owned by Waste Management of Pennsylvania. Inc. 5. The customers whose recyclable trash we collected lhat day were located on collection routes that had been established by Waste Management of Central Pennsylvania. 6. When Mr. Santiago and I arrived at the first trash that we were collecting on that day, I told Mr. Santiago about the manner in which he was to perform ihe work he was to do that day. 7. I told Mr. Santiago to put the papcr recyclab1es in the back of the truck's container. I also told Mr. Santiago 10 put all of the rest of the recyclables in the front part ,.."'""~ of the truck's container. I showed Mr. Santiago how to do the work hc WIIS to do that dny by demonstrating it myself. 8, From timc to time throughout the day, I observed how Mr. Santiago was doing the work. Mr. Santiago did the work as he had been directed by me. I did not have to correct any of hIS work nor tell him to do the work differently. If Mr. Santiago did not do thc work correctly, I would have told him to do it the right way. 9. I told Mr. Santiago when to get into the cab of the truck whcn we werc going to the recycling center or to another portion of the collection route. 10. When it was not evident when we stopped, I told Mr. Santiago to get out of the cab of the truck and to resume collecting when we reached another part of the collection route. 11. In the morning, we st9.pped at a store. I told Mr. Santiago that he could get out of the cab and purchase some refreshmcnt at the store, If he so desired. 12. I had previously been instructed by the managcmcnt of Waste Management of Central Pennsylvania that the recyclab1es were to be dumpcd at the recycllns center at Recycle America, York ana, PA. 13. I told Mr. Santiago to wail inside the cab of the truck when I sot out of the cab to unlatch the doors for dumping at the Recycle Amcrlca re~'}'cllnll center and when I wcnt to get the dump slips there. 14. From the time that Mr. Santiago was told by Carlton Seollto 110 work with me at the beginning of the work dllY, up until the time of an accident that occurred In the afternoon, Mr. Santiago WIIS told what to do in pcrformlng his work hy mc In my capacity as an employee of Waste Managcmcnt of CClllrnll'cllnsylvania. ! a . .

The facts in English are nearly identical to the facts in this action, In that case, the plaintiff was employed by Kelly L~bor, a temporary employment agency, and was assigned by Kelly to perform work for the defendant, The plaintiff was injured and sued the defendant. The trial court granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment because it concluded that the defendant was the plaintiff'S statutory employer under the Act, On appeal, the plaintiff argued that Kelly, and not the defendant, was his statutory employer because Kelly: (1) paid his wages, unemployment compensation taxes, and workmen's compensation insurance; (2) retained the right to fire or discipline him; (3) had exclusive control over his job assignmcnts; and (4) ~ithheld his taxes from his wages, Nevertheless, the court held that **3 (a]lthough Kelly Labor had almost absolute control over which of its workers would service the needs of which of its customers, it had no significant control *102 over the manner in which the workers carried out the work to which they were assigned, Thus, for example, while Kelly Labor was responsible for placing (the plaintiff] into the service of the (defendant], once he arrive,j Kelly Labor did not purport to instruct (the plaintiff] on how he should carry out the (defendant's] sewage testing program, That was clearly the province of the (defendant], Kelly Labor had no supervisory personnel of any kind at the job site; nor did it contemplate training its workers to perform the various tasks to which it assigned them at the request of its customers, English, 286 Pa.Super, at 323-24, 428 A,2d at 1349, In this case, Square D had the right to control both Plaintiff's work and the manner in which it was performcd.

[Def,'s Statem~nt of M,F, at P 29]; [Daniel virtue Dep, at 50-51J, These facts conclusively establish that Square D controlled both the nature of Plaintiff's work at the time of the accident, and thr manner in which he performed it, [6][7] Plaintiff contends that there was no employer-employee relationship because Square D's control over him was temporary, This argument is without merit, It was not necessary for Square D to control Plaintiff's work for a signifJcant time in order to establish an employment relationship, Rather, the crucial consideration is who "had control or the right of control over the employee as to the work to be done and the manner of its performance at the time of the accident," Walton v, Harold M, Kelly, Inc" 216 Pa,Super, 26, 32, 269 A.2d :147, 349 (1!l70) (citation omitted) (emphasis added), Thu3, entities who borrow laborers from temporary employment agencies can be statutory employers, and thus immune from suit under section 481 of the Act, even if they exercise control for only a short time, See, e,g" English, 286 Pa,Super, at 324, 428 A,2d at 1349, **4 [8][9] Plaintiff also attaches significance to the fact that Olsten accepted responsibility for the accident with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry, paid Plaintiff's medical expenses, and, at the mandate of a Worker's Compensation Judge, provided his workmen's compensation benefits, That argument is misplaced, The parties are not bound by their characterization of the relationship, Rather, "the determining factor is the actual conduct of the parties." Wilkinson, 412 Pa,Super, at 440, 603 A,2d at 662 (citing Red Line, 138 Pa,Commw, at 383, 588 A,2d at 94), Accordingly, even where it is agreed that the borrowed employee is to remain in the employ of the lending employer, courts have nevertheless concluded that the borrowing employer is the employer for workmen's compensation purposes, Id. Additionally, the fact that Olsten accepted responsibility and paid Plaintiff's medical expenses and compensation benefits does not affect our determination that Square D was his statutory employer, See supp v.
