Supreme Court I.D. No. 25476
Date: October 23, 1998
NEW MATTER IN THE NATURE OF A PETITION FOR NON PROS
4, The above-referenced paragraphs arc incorporated by reference as though same were
set forth at length herein.
5, Upon infonnation and bclief, respondents believe this matter arose out of a incident
alleged to have occurred on April 12, 1993 in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. A true and correct copy
of petitioners' Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit "A",
6. The dockets reflect that a Praecipe for Writ of summons was issued on April 6, 1995,
7, The SherifTs return indicates that the Writ of Summons was served upon respondents
on April 13, 1995.
8, A Complaint was filed simultaneously with Petitioners' Petition for Rule to Show
Cause on October 23, 1998. There has been no docket activity from April 26, 1995, the date ofthe
SherifTs return, until the simultaneous filing of the Complaint and Petition on October 23, 1998,
9. There has been nearly three and a half years of docket inactivity, While petitioners,
allege that Roberta Gonzales sought treatment for her injuries related to this incident and also
developed cancer, there is nothing to suggest that petitioners could not pursue their claim.
10. The three and a half year delay in filing the Complaint has resulted in actual prejudice
to the respondents. Our Supreme Court has recently held that actual prejudice must be shown in
order to sustain a Petition for Non Pros. Jacobs v. Halloran. et aI., PICS case no. 98-0733-09-00
(Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, Eastern District, April 2, 1998).
II. The Jacobs Court, relying on is earlier decision in James Brothers Comoanv v. Union
Bankinl! and Trust Comoanv of Dubois, 432 Pa. 129, 132,247 A.2d 587, 589 (1968), stated that
prejudice could be established by the death or the absence of a material witness.
12. Upon infonnation and belief, respondents aver that petitioner Roberta Gonzales is
