Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441, Defendants John M. Lashay, Sofa t erk
Discounters, Inc. t/d/b/a Sofas Unlimited, and Sofa Discounters East, Inc., t/d/b/a
Sofas Unlimited (collectively referred to as "Defendants"), by their undersigned
attorneys, hereby remove this action from the Court of Common Pleas of
Cumberland County. Removal is based on the following:
KRLSHAR:21309.1
On or about September 25, 2002, Plaintiff D.L. Spitler Lumber
Co. Inc., t/d/b/a Sofa Selections ("Plaintiff'), commenced an action against
Defendants in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
captioned "D.L. Spitler Lumber Co. Inc., t/d/b/a Sofa Selections v. John M.
Lashay, Sofa Discounters, Inc. t/d/b/a Sofas Unlimited, and Sofa Discounters
East, Inc., t/d/b/a Sofas Unlimited," Civil Action No. 02-4602.
2. Defendants received a copy of Plaintiff s Complaint on
September 27, 2002. A copy of the Complaint is attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
On the same date, Defendants received a copy of Plaintiff s Motion for
Preliminary Injunction and Order scheduling hearing on October 10, 2002. A -
copy of the Motion and Order is attached hereto as Exhibit "B." As of this date,
the Defendants have received no other process or pleadings in this case.
3. In the Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants have
illegally infringed upon and diluted the effectiveness of Plaintiffs distinctive and
famous mark through unauthorized use of such mark on the Internet and in
advertising in violation of Pennsylvania law, 54 Pa. C.S. §§ 1123-1124.
4. In the Complaint, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants have
violated the Lanham Act, 15 U.S. C. § 1125, by intentionally misusing Plaintiff s
mark in a bad faith attempt to pass themselves off as affiliated with Plaintiff and to
KRLSHAR:21309.1
2
cause confusion among consumers as to the affiliation, connection or association
of Defendants' business.
5. Plaintiff further asserts in the Complaint that Defendants have,
intentionally and in bad faith, violated Section 1125(d) of the Lanham Act, i.e.,
The Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act of 1999, by registering, re-
registering and using Plaintiff's mark as a domain name to point consumers to its
own website with the intent to profit therefrom.
6. The Lanham Act, and all amendments thereto, is a law of the
United States.
7. Plaintiffs' action is therefore one over which the United States
District Court has original jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, which states,
in pertinent part, "The district courts shall have original jurisdiction of all civil
actions arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States."
8. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a) provides that "any civil action brought in a
State court of which the district courts of the United States have original
jurisdiction, may be removed by the defendant or the defendants, to the district
court of the United States for the district and division embracing the place where
such action is pending."
KRLSHAR:2I309.1 3
9. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b) provides that "[a]ny civil action of which
the district courts have original jurisdiction founded on a claim or right arising
under the Constitution, treaties or laws of the United States shall be removable
without regard to the citizenship or residence of the parties."
10. 28 U.S.C. § 1441(c) provides that "[w]henever a separate and
independent claim or cause of action within the jurisdiction conferred by section
1331 of this title is joined with one or more otherwise non-removable claims or
causes of action, the entire case may be removed and the district court may
determine all issues therein, or, in its discretion, may remand all matters in which
State law predominates."
11. Because this is an action over which federal district courts have
original jurisdiction, and because Cumberland County is embraced by the United
States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the action involving
both federal and pendant state claims is properly removed to the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania under 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a),
(b) and (c).
12. This Notice is timely under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(b) in that it is
filed within thirty (30) days after receipt by Defendants of a copy of the
Complaint, the first pleading from which it could be ascertained that the case is
KRLSHAR:21309.1 4
removable.
WHEREFORE, Defendants hereby remove the above action now
pending in the Court of Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania to
the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.

COMPLAINT
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, D. L. SPITLER LUMBER CO., INC. t/d/b/a SOFA
SELECTIONS, by and through its attorneys, MARTSON DEARDORFF WILLLAMS & OTTO, and
hereby avers as follows:
1. Plaintiff, D. L. Spitler Lumber Co., Inc., is a Pennsylvania corporation with a
principal place of business at 5430 Jonestown Road, Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
17112.
2. The Defendant, John M. Lashay, is an adult individual residing at 155 East Lauer
Lane, Hampden Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17011, who is the sole owner and
manager, or is the primary owner and manager, of the other two Defendants.
3. The Defendant, Sofa Discounters, Inc. t/d/b/a Sofas Unlimited, is a Pennsylvania
corporation with a principal place of business at 4713 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylania
17055, which engages in interstate commerce by operating a retail store in which sofas and furniture
are sold to the public.
4. The Defendant, Sofa Discounters East, Inc. t/d/b/a Sofas Unlimited, is a Pennsylvania
corporation with a principal place of business at 4359 Linglestown Road, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
17112, which engages in interstate commerce by operating a retail store in which sofas and furniture
are sold to the public.
5. Since January 1996, Plaintiff has operated retail stores exclusively using the name
"Sofa Selections" in Dauphin and Cumberland Counties, Pennsylvania, in which Plaintiff sells sofas
and furniture to the public and engages in interstate commerce.
6. Plaintiff competes with other retail furniture stores in Dauphin, Perry, Cumberland,
Lebanon, Lancaster, and York Counties, including Defendant Sofas Unlimited, which is engaged in
a business similar to Plaintiffs, which targets a similar consumer, and which operates stores only
a few miles away from Plaintiff s enterprises.
7. For the protection of Plaintiff and the public, on or about March 12, 1996, Plaintiff
properly registered the trademark "Sofa Selections" with the Pennsylvania Department of State
pursuant to the Pennsylvania trademark registration laws.
8. On or about November 30, 1999, Plaintiff properly registered the fictitious name
"Sofa Selections" with the Pennsylvania Department of State pursuant to Pennsylvania laws
concerning names of businesses.
9. Plaintiff has extensively used the mark "Sofa Selections" in newspaper advertising,
in radio advertisements, in television commercials, on signs identifying the location of the business,
and on all business correspondence and accounts to the point that the consuming public of
Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lancaster, Perry, and York Counties immediately associates the
term with Plaintiff s enterprise and thus the mark has become distinctive, famous, and has acquired
secondary meaning.
10. In September 1999, Defendants registered the internet domain names
"sofaselections.com" and "sofaselections.net," with Network Solutions, Inc. and listed themselves
as authorized licensees of the domain names.
i l . On or about September 10, 2002, Defendants re-registered the internet domain names
"sofaselections.com" and "sofaselections.net."
12. Defendants intentionally registered, and re-registered, these domain names, which are
identical and/or confusingly similar to Plaintiffs registered trademark, in bad faith, with the intent
to profit therefrom, and with knowledge that it would deprive Plaintiff of access to its registered
trademark for use on the Internet.
13. Since at least September 2001, Defendants have maintained an internet website
promoting the Sofas Unlimited retail stores in Dauphin and Cumberland Counties.
14. Since at least September 2001, Defendants have used Plaintiff s mark, Sofa
Selections, without permission, in the form of two domain names, "sofasections.com" and
"sofaselections.net," as website addresses for its website which promotes its competing retail stores,
Sofas Unlimited.
15. Defendants' use of Plaintiffs mark as a domain name acts to point consumers
interested in learning about Sofa Selections directly to the website promoting Plaintiffs primary
competitor, Defendants' retail stores, Sofas Unlimited, and intentionally deceives consumers into
believing that Defendants are affiliated with Plaintiff.
16. Plaintiff is powerless to stop Defendants' use of its mark since the domain names,
"sofaselections.com" and "sofaselections.net," are controlled by a computer in the possession of
Defendants or Defendants' agents, and no two organizations can have the same domain name.
17. Since 1996, Defendants have intentionally used the trademark "Sofa Selections" in
newspaper advertising and in road signs promoting Sofas Unlimited in an attempt to confuse
consumers and dilute Plaintiffs mark.
18. On or about June 24, 1997, Plaintiff sent a cease and desist letter to Sofas Unlimited
demanding that it cease using the mark "Sofa Selections" in advertising. A copy of this letter is
attached hereto as "Exhibit A."
19. In February 2002, an agent of Plaintiff asked an agent of Defendant John M. Lashay
to surrender his registration of"sofaselections.com" and "sofaselections.net."
20. Defendant Lashay's agent indicated that Defendant Lashay refused to give up his
registration of "sofaselections.com" and "sofaselections.net" despite Plaintiff s demand.
21. In September 2002, Plaintiff sent a second cease and desist letter to Sofas Unlimited
demanding that it cease using the mark "Sofa Selections" as an Internet domain name tied to its own
website, sofasunlimited.com. A copy of this letter is attached hereto as "Exhibit B."
22. For the past five years, Defendants have demonstrated a pattern of trademark
infringement, dilution, unfair competition, and cyberpicacy by misusing Plaintiffs registered and
famous mark despite demands by Plaintiff to cease and desist.
23. In using Plaintiffs mark "Sofa Selections," Defendants have attempted to pass
themselves off as the same as, or affiliated with, Sofa Selections and trade on Plaintiffs reputation
of selling a variety of quality sofas and furniture to the public at affordable prices.
24. Defendants' use of Plaintiffs mark in connection with the sale of goods and
promotion of its business on the Internet and in advertising has been without Plaintiff s consent, has
been used in a manner likely to cause confusion, mistake, and to deceive as to the source or origin
of the goods, and constitutes illegal trademark infringement under Pennsylvania law.
25. Defendants' use of Plaintiff s mark was with knowledge of the existence of Plaintiff s
business, and with knowledge of Plaintiffs use of its mark Sofa Selections, and was done in bad
faith.
26. In using Plaintiffs mark, Defendants have willfully intended to trade on the
Plaintiff s reputation, to cause dilution to the mark, and to lure consumers to Sofas Unlimited with
the wrong impression that it is affiliated with Plaintiff, Sofas Selections.
27. In using Plaintiff s mark, Defendants have in fact diluted the effectiveness of the mark
"Sofa Selections" in promoting Plaintiffs enterprise in advertising and on the Internet.
28. Defendants' unauthorized use of Plaintiffs mark irreparably harms Plaintiff by
depriving Plaintiff of control of its reputation, by causing loss of good will and trade, by confusing
consumers, and by diluting the effectiveness of its mark.
29. Enjoining Defendants from using Plaintiffs mark, Sofa Selections, will not cause
harm to Defendant.
30. Enjoining Defendants from using Plaintiffs mark, Sofa Selections, is in the public
interest.
COUNTI
PENNSYLVANIA TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
AND NOW, comes the Plaintiff, D. L. Spitler Lumber Co., Inc., t/d/b/a Sofa Selections, by
and through its attorneys, Martson Deardorff Williams & Otto, and hereby moves this Court for a
preliminary injunction under Pa. R.C.P. 1531 enjoining and restraining Defendants pending final
hearing and determination of this action from further interfering with Plaintiff s trademark, and in
support avers as follows:
Unless Defendants are effectively restrained and enjoined from their improper
conduct, as described with particularity in the Verified Complaint filed in this case and in this
Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Plaintiff will continue to suffer immediate, substantial, and
irreparable harm by being powerless to stop Defendants unauthorized use of Plaintiffs mark.
2. Plaintiff filed his Verified Complaint on September 23, 2002.
3. Defendants' use of Plaintiff s mark causes consumers to be deceived, confused, and
misled into the belief that Defendants are affiliated with Plaintiff, Sofa Selections.
4. Defendants' continued unauthorized use of Plaintiff s mark dilutes the effectiveness
of the mark "Sofa Selections" in promoting Plaintiffs enterprise through advertising and on the
Internet.
5. Defendants' unauthorized use of Plaintiffs mark deprives Plaintiff of control over
its reputation, loss of good will and trade, and dilutes the effectiveness of Plaintiffs mark.
6. Defendants' unauthorized use of Plaintiff's mark poses a direct threat to the stability
of Plaintiffs business reputation, good will and trade, and the effectiveness of Plaintiffs mark.
7. Defendants are intentionally infringing upon Plaintiff's mark with the intent to lure
consumers away from Plaintiffs business and to Defendants' business.
8. The issuance of a preliminary injunction will not cause undue inconvenience or loss
to the Defendants, but will prevent irreparable injury to the Plaintiff, and is in the public interest.
9. Plaintiff is likely to succeed in proving at trial that the Defendants' activities are
actionable and enjoinable.
10. In support of this Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Plaintiff incorporates herein the
Verified Complaint filed in this action as if the same were fully restated at length.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court enter an Order enjoining and
restraining Defendants and their employees, agents, assigns, and successors in interest from Rather
infringing upon Plaintiff s trademark, "Sofa Selections," and retain jurisdiction of this matter to
ensure that the Court's order and decree is obeyed. Plaintiffs request that this Order specifically
enjoin, but not be limited to, Defendants' use of the trademark, "Sofa Selections," on the Internet.

CATHERINE M. SALVADOR,

IN CUSTODY
PETITION FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF
AND NOW, comes Plaintiff, Sean D. Kelly, by and through his attorneys, McNees
Wallace & Nurick LLC, and hereby files this Petition for Emergency Relief seeking
modification of the existing Order of Court and in support thereof, avers as follows:
1. The Petitioner is Sean D. Kelly (hereinafter "Father"), an adult individual who
currently resides at 4009 Caissons Court, Enola, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
17025.
2. The Respondent is Catherine M. Salvador (hereinafter "Mother'), an adult
individual who currently resides at 311 April Drive, Apartment 4, Camp Hill, Cumberland
County, Pennsylvania, 17011.
3. The parties are the parents of Trystan Noell Salvador (hereinafter "Child"),
who was born on April 30, 2002.
4. The parties attended a Custody Conciliation Conference with Dawn Sunday
on December 13, 2006.
5. On December 18, 2006, this Court entered an Order regarding custody
based on the Custody Conciliation Report. Pursuant to this Order, Mother and Father
have shared legal custody of the Child, and Father has primary physical custody of the
child. Mother's periods of partial custody are as follows:
a. Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.;
b. Thursday from 8:00 a.m. through Friday at 5:00 p.m.;
C. Alternating Saturdays from either 8:00 a.m. or 12:00 noon through
Monday at 5:00 p.m.;
d. On her non-custodial weekends, from Sunday at 6:00 p.m. until
Monday at 5:00 p.m.
A true and correct copy of the December 18, 2006 Order is attached hereto as
Exhibit "A".
6. Respondent also has two children from a prior relationship, namely Presley
Salvador, born November 17, 1992 and Cassidy N. Salvador, born December 13, 1993.
7. Father has learned that on or about June 4, 2007, Presley and Cassidy
Salvador contacted their Father, John Winner, and informed him that they had found
Marijuana in Mother's house and that they were left alone. Thereafter, the children or their
Father contacted the Camp Hill Borough Police Department and officers came to the
house and confiscated the Marijuana. It is believed that Mother has been charged with
-2-
possession.
8. Since that time, Presley and Cassidy Salvador have been removed from
Mother's custody by their Father. Mr. Winner has filed a Petition for Emergency Relief
with this Court. A copy of that Petition is attached hereto as Exhibit "B".
9. The June 4, 2007 incident is not the first time that Mother has been in
possession of Marijuana. Approximately one year ago, Father became aware that Mother
had Marijuana in her possession and destroyed it.
10. John Winner further averred in his Petition for Emergency Relief that
Mother's home was in horrible condition, and that dirty dishes and spilled food were
present in the apartment.
11. Following the Marijuana incident, on or about June 12, 2007, the Child asked
Father what a drunk is and explained that Mother has a Breathalyzer device in her car.
Father believes and therefore avers based on this conversation that the Child is being
exposed to circumstances and conditions that are inappropriate and unsafe for any child.
12. Based upon these recent events, Father believes that Mother's drug and
alcohol use has increased significantly, and as such, Father is concerned with the safety
of his Child while in Mother's custody.
13. Further, Mother's two children from her prior relationship previously provided
additional oversight of the Child while the Child was in Mother's care. With the removal of
Presley and Cassidy from Mother's custody, Father is concerned with the level of
supervision that the Child receives while in Mother's care.
14. Father believes and therefore avers that for all of the above reasons, it is not
in the best interests and welfare of the Child to be in Mother's custody during the times set
-3-
forth in the December 18, 2006 Order.
15. Counsel for Father has been advised that in response to Mr. Winner's
Petition for Emergency Relief, the Court has ordered the removal Mother's two older
children from her custody and has assigned the matter to Judge Bayley for a hearing.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Sean D. Kelly, respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to grant this Petition for Emergency Relief and enter in Order consistent with the
best interests of the child, including:
1. Retaining Father's primary physical custody of the Child;
2. Revoking Mother's periods of partial physical custody;
3. Granting Mother periods of supervised visitation with the Child every other
weekend;
4. Ordering Mother to undergo drug testing;
5. Setting a date for Hearing or Conciliation of this matter.
