STATE OF MAINE SUPERIOR COURT
SAGADAHOGC, ss. CIVIL ACTION
DOCKET NO. CV-21-11
ANGELA H. VAN DER WEF,

Plaintiff,

Vv.

WOOLWICH BAKER DRIVE, LLC, ORDER ON OUTSTANDING MOTIONS
and
THE TOWN OF WOOLWICH,

Defendants

INTRODUCTION
There are four motions pending before the court. First, there is defendant

Woolwich Baker Drive, LLC9s ( and forbidding her from relying on

any evidence not already produced.

° There is some confusion on Ms. Van Der Wef9s side as to whether her husband is a party to this
case. He was not a plaintiff at the beginning of the lawsuit, and no motion to amend to add him
was ever made. Especially considering his efforts to evade being deposed, the court includes him
in the sanction and forbids Ms. Van Der Wef from calling him at trial.

11
Motion for Final Hearing

The Van Der Wef9s motion for a final hearing does not comply with the rules of

procedure. In essence, the Van Der Wefs state that they believe they have done all they

need to do and that this case should be set for a hearing so it can be over with. To the

extent that there will be a bench trial in this case, the motion is moot. The matter will be

set for trial regarding the unresolved Counterclaims in due course.

It is hereby ORDERED:

Defendant Woolwich Baker Drive, LLC9s Motion for Summary Judgment as to plaintiff
Angela Van Der Wef9s Quiet Title action is GRANTED.

Defendant Woolwich Baker Drive, LLC9s Motion for Summary Judgment as to liability
on Count V of its Counterclaim is GRANTED.

Defendant Woolwich Baker Drive, LLC9s Motion for Sanctions is GRANTED IN PART.
The Court sanctions plaintiff Angela Van Der Wef for her misconduct in the discovery
process by forbidding her from calling any witnesses at trial other than herself, or
introducing any evidence not already produced. This sanction includes calling her
husband as a witness.
The matter will be set for trial in due course. A writ of possession in the underlying
Forcible Entry and Detainer action may issue forthwith.
