JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
MOTION OF DEFENDANT WILLIAM RUMMEL
TO CONSOLIDATE PURSUANT TO PA. R.CIV. P. NO. 213~
AND NOW, comes Defendant William Rummel, by and through his
counsel, Reynolds & Havas, a professional corporation, and files
this Motion to consolidate the above-captioned actions, assigning
the following reasons:
1. On March 29, 1994, a vehicle operated by William
Rummel, Defendant in both of the above-captioned actions, was
involved in a motor vehicle accident on Route 944, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania.
2. The other vehicle involved in the above-described
accident was operated by Lawrence Whitley, Plaintiff at
Cumberland County Docket No. 96-00443.
3. Susan Schorr, Plaintiff at Cumberland County Docket No.
95-1178, was a passenger in the vehicle operated by Plaintiff
Lawrence Whitley (Docket No. 96,00443).
4. Plaintiff Schorr and Plaintiff Whitley both allege that
they were injured as a result of the negligence of Defendant,
which negligence is alleged to have caused the aforesaid motor
vehicle accident.
5. Plaintiff Schorr and Plaintiff Whitley are represented
by John D. Briggs, Esquire, in their respective actions.
6. Defendant Rummel is represented in both actions by Rolf
E. Kroll, Esquire.
7. Pa. R.Civ.p. No. 213(a) provides:
In actions pending in a county which involve a
common question of law or fact or which arise
from the same transaction or occurrence, the
court on its own motion or on the motion of
any party may order a joint hearing or trial
of any matter and issue in the actions, may
order the actions consolidated, and may make
orders that avoid unnecessary costs or delay.
8. The above-captioned actions arise out of the same motor
vehicle accident, involve the same Defendant, and Plaintiffs were
in the same vehicle at the time of the accident.
- 2 -
:'
9. Therefore, the above-captioned actions involve a common
question of law or fact and arise out of the same transaction or
occurrence.
10. Moreover, in the interests of judicial economy and to
avoid the possibility of inconsistent verdicts, jury confusion,
and the duplication of effort and expense, the above-captioned
cases are properly consolidated for the purposes of trial.
WHEREFORE, Defendant William Rummel prays that this
Honorable Court enter an Order consolidating these cases for
purposes of trial pursuant to Pa. R.Civ.P. No. 213(a).
