HARRY J. MYERS,
Plaintiff
IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PA
v.
NO. 95-5097 Civil Term
KEVIN A. FREY,
Defendant
CIVIL ACTION . LAW
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
ORDER
AND NOW, this
day of
199_" upon consideration of the
motion for judgment of non pros of Defendant Kevin A. Frey, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED
that said Motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff has shown a lack of due diligence by failing to
procecd with reasonable promptitude when there is no compelling reason for thc delay in
prosccution of this maller, This delay, in excess of two years, has eaused prejudice to the
Defendant Kevin A. Frey. Also, the Writ of Summons in this casc was never served nor
reissued and has now expired. Aceordingly, judgment of non pros is hereby ENTERED in
favor of said Defendant, with prejudice.
BY THE COURT:
J.
4. A coun may take judicial notice of its own records. Hawkcv v, Worker's
Comllensation Board, 56 Pa. Commw. 379,425 A.2d 40 (1981),
5. Since Plaintill' tiled the Praecipe for Writ of Summons on September 25, 1995, he
has failed to take any substantive action in the instant case.
6. Moreover, the Writ of Summons was never scrved upon Defendant. ~ Sherill's
Return of Service attached hereto, marked as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by referenee.
7. Also, the Writ of Summons was not reissued at any time since it was initially
issued on Septembcr 25, 1995,
8. Under Pennsylvania law, a case may be dismissed for lack of activity on the
docket where: a party has shown a lack of due diligence by failing to proceed with reasonable
promptitude; there is no compclling reason for the delay; and the delay has caused prejudice to
the adverse pany. Chase v. National Fuel Gas Com., _ Pa. Super. _. _, 692 A.2d 155, 156
(1997); ~ a/so fm,n Piping, Inc. v. Insurance Comllanv of North America, 529 Pa. 350, 603
A.2d 1006 (1992).
9. Also, a dclay for a period of two years or more will be presumed prejudicial for
purposes of any proceeding to dismiss for lack of activity on the docket. Chase, _ Pa. Super. at
_.692 A.2d at 156. cilil/l! Penn Pilling, 529 Pa. at 356, 603 A.2d at 1009.
10. Also, despite the languagc of Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure No. 401 (b)(2)
staling that a writ may be reissued or a complaint rein slated at any time, a writ of summons may
be reissued, and a complaint may be reinstated, only during a period of time which, measured
- 2 -
from the datc of original issuancc of thc writ or filing of thc complianl, or thc datc of a
subsequent rcissuancc or rcinstatcment thcrcof, is nOllongcr than thc pcriod of timc rcquired by
the applicablc statutc of limitations for the bringing of thc action. Brnslow v. Swartz, 256 Super.
Ct, 189,389 A.2d 665 (1978); Bavshorc v. Jackson, 223 Pa. Super, 568, 302 A.2d 438 (1973).
II, Thc statute of limitations at 42 Pa, C.S.A. *5524 provides for a two-year statute of
limitations on actions, such as thc instant action, to recovcr damages for injury to a person
founded on negligenr.c. 42 Pa. C.S.A. *5524.
12. Therefore, lhe Writ in the inslant casc could only be reissued until Septcmber 25,
1997,
13. Becausc Septcmber 25, 1997 has passcd, thc Writ issued in this casc has expired
and can no longer bc rcissucd,
14. Also, Plaintiff has shown a lack ofduc diligence by failing to procced with
reasonable promptitude whcn thcrc is no compelling rcason for thc delay; the period of delay
excceds two years and is thereforc prejudicial to Dcfcndant Kcvin A. Frey,
IS. The Plaintifi'has failcd to takc any substantive action in the instant case since
filing the Prnecipc for Writ of Summons on Scptember 25, 1995, and thcrefore the case has been
inactive sincc thc Entry of Appcarancc of Craig A, Stonc, Esquirc, on behalf of Defendant Kevin
A. Frey on Novcmbcr 17, 1995.
16. Accordingly, Dcfcndant Kcvin A. Frey is cntitlcd 10 a judgmcnt of non pros.
- 3-
WHEREFORE, Defendant Kevin A. Frey respectfully requests that this Honorable
Court enter judgment of non pros in its favor and against PlaintilT, with prejudice.
