Miller vs. Ellis228

Lehigh 7-17 op

DAVID MILLER vs. CRAIG ELLIS

Criminal History Record Information Act—Discovery— Civil Litigation—Negligence—Expungement.

Plaintiff filed a negligence case against Defendant arising from a motor vehicle accident. Plaintiff sought discovery of criminal records that may have contained information as to Defendant’s behavior and physical condition at the time of the accident. Defendant objected to Plaintiff ’s request and sought a protective order. Defendant argued the records were not releasable per the expungement language of the Pennsylvania Criminal History Record Information Act (“CHRIA”) because the records had been expunged. Plaintiff challenged this argument.

The Court rejected Defendant’s argument. The Court concluded that CHRIA did not apply because Defendant is not a criminal justice agency and any information in his possession cannot be protected by the CHRIA even if such information would be pro-tected if it was sought from a criminal justice agency. Further, the Court reasoned that, even if the CHRIA did apply, investigative information relating to the accident is not ex-pungable under CHRIA. The Court noted that the purpose of the CHRIA is not to protect legitimate evidence, relevant to a negligence case, from being obtained by a plaintiff. Ad-ditionally, the Court reasoned that while expungement provides an individual with some protection from the difficulties that may result from an arrest record, it cannot entirely protect a person from the consequences of that person’s actions.

Accordingly, the Court held that a protective order was not warranted.

In the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County, Pennsylva-nia—Civil Division. No. 2018-C-0189. David Miller vs. Craig Ellis.

Neil e. DurkiN, esquire, on behalf of the Plaintiff.

Matthew P. hall, esquire, on behalf of the Defendant.

JohNsoN, J., October 26, 2018.

I. INTRODUCTION

Before the Court for consideration is the Motion of Defendant, Craig Ellis, for Protective Order filed on June 5, 2018. A Hearing was held on September 13, 2018.

Issue Presented

A. Whether Defendant Is Entitled to a Protective Order Limiting the Scope of Discovery by Precluding Information Related to the

Expunged Record of Defendant From Being Sought or Exchanged Through All Aspects of Discovery?

II. DISCUSSION

In Pennsylvania, the retention of criminal records is governed by the Pennsylvania Criminal History Record Information Act

10

Miller vs. Ellis 229

Lehigh 7-17 op

(“CHRIA”), 18 Pa. C.S. §§9101 et seq. Defendant relies upon the Expungement section of the CHRIA as the basis of his argument for a protective order against responding to particular discovery requests propounded on him by Plaintiff. The CHRIA defines “expunge” as:

(1) To remove information so that there is no trace or indication that such information existed; (2) to eliminate all identifiers which may be used to trace the identity of an in-dividual, allowing remaining data to be used for statistical purposes; or (3) maintenance of certain information required or authorized under the provisions of section 9122(c) (relat-ing to expungement), when an individual has successfully completed the conditions of any pretrial or posttrial diversion or probation program.

18 Pa. C.S. §9102. The CHRIA further provides:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the prosecuting attorney and the central repository shall, and the court may, maintain a list of the names and other criminal history record information of persons whose records are re-quired by law or court rule to be expunged where the indi-vidual has successfully completed the conditions of any pretrial or post-trial diversion or probation program or where the court has ordered expungement under this section. Such information shall be used solely for the purposes of determin-ing subsequent eligibility for such programs, identifying persons in criminal investigations or determining the grading of subsequent offenses. Such information shall be made avail-able to any court or law enforcement agency upon request.

18 Pa. C.S. §9122. The CHRIA defines “criminal history record information” as:

Information collected by criminal justice agencies con-cerning individuals, and arising from the initiation of a criminal proceeding, consisting of identifiable descriptions, dates and notations of arrests, indictments, informations or other formal criminal charges and any dispositions arising therefrom. The term does not include intelligence informa-tion, investigative information or treatment information, in-

11

Miller vs. Ellis230

Lehigh 7-17 op

cluding medical and psychological information, or information and records specified in section 9104 (relating to scope).

18 Pa. C.S.A. §9102.

It is important to remember to whom the subject discovery requests have been made. They have not been made to a “criminal justice agency”; they have been made to the Defendant. The CHRIA defines “criminal justice agency” as:

Any court, including the minor judiciary, with criminal jurisdiction or any other governmental agency, or subunit thereof, created by statute or by the State or Federal consti-tutions, specifically authorized to perform as its principal function the administration of criminal justice, and which allocates a substantial portion of its annual budget to such function. Criminal justice agencies include, but are not lim-ited to: organized State and municipal police departments, local detention facilities, county, regional and State correc-tional facilities, probation agencies, district or prosecuting attorneys, parole boards, pardon boards, the facilities and administrative offices of the Department of Public Welfare[] that provide care, guidance and control to adjudicated delin-quents, and such agencies or subunits thereof, as are declared by the Attorney General to be criminal justice agencies as determined by a review of applicable statutes and the State and Federal Constitutions or both.

18 Pa. C.S. §9102 (footnote omitted).

Defendant is clearly not a criminal justice agency and any information in his possession cannot be protected by the CHRIA, even if such information would be protected if sought from a criminal justice agency. Thus, the CHRIA does not determine the answer to the issue raised in this particular motion.

Further, assuming arguendo that the CHRIA is applicable, the CHRIA specifically excludes “investigative information” from this definition, which is defined as “information assembled as a result of the performance of any inquiry, formal or informal, into a criminal incident or an allegation of criminal wrongdoing and may include modus operandi information.” Id. The statute is clear;

12

Miller vs. Ellis 231

Lehigh 7-17 op

the transformation from investigative information to criminal his-tory record information only applies to: (1) identifiable descriptions, (2) dates and notations of arrest, (3) criminal charges, and (4) dispositions. After the initiation of criminal proceedings, investiga-tive information that does not fall into one of the above categories is not expungable under the CHRIA. In Doe v. Zappala, 987 A.2d 190 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2009), defendant was charged with murder and sought to preclude the use of investigative materials from a previ-ous murder case against him in which he was acquitted and his record expunged; however, the court found that the investigative materials were not subject to the expungement and were admis-sible. Similarly, in this case, the investigative information relating to the accident is not expungable under the CHRIA.

It is also important to remember what the issue in this motion is not. It is not whether the discovery sought is admissible at trial. It is not whether a particular answer or answers to discovery re-quests are sufficient. It is whether the discovery sought could reasonably lead to relevant evidence. The discovery requested could reasonably lead to relevant evidence such as the blood alco-hol level of the Defendant at the time of the accident, identities and contact information of witnesses, statements made by the parties and/or witnesses and/or other physical evidence.

In this case, Defendant seeks to invoke the expungement of his criminal record to prevent Plaintiff from developing any evi-dence of Defendant’s drunk driving and behavior in injuring Plaintiff. That is not the purpose of the CHRIA. The purpose of expungement is to protect an individual from the difficulties and hardships that may result from an arrest on record including the harm to one’s reputation and opportunities for advancement in life. However, although expungement affords an individual some protection from the difficulties and hardships that may result from an arrest on record, it cannot entirely protect him from the conse-quences of his prior actions. Commonwealth v. Butler, 448 Pa. Superior Ct. 582, 672 A.2d 806 (1996). Expungement means that the criminal record is expunged, not that the event underlying the criminal charge is erased as if it never took place. The purpose of the CHRIA is not to protect legitimate evidence, relevant to a negligence case, from being obtained by a plaintiff.

13

Miller vs. Ellis232

Lehigh 7-17 op

We find that the information Plaintiff seeks in his discovery requests is not protected under the CHRIA. Therefore, a protec-tive order is not warranted in this case.

III. CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, the Motion of Defendant, Craig Ellis, for Protective Order filed on June 5, 2018 is DENIED.

ORDER

AND NOW, this 26th day of October, 2018, upon consider-ation of the Motion of Defendant, Craig Ellis, For Protective Order filed on June 5, 2018, after hearing held September 13, 2018, and for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Opinion;

IT IS ORDERED that said motion is DENIED.
