JOHN J. DOUGHERTY, Appellant v. KAREN HELLER, Appellee
CHIEF JUSTICE SAYLOR, JUSTICE WECHT, AND JUDGES COLINS, FRIEDMAN, LEADBETTER, BROBSON, AND STRASSBURGER Appeal from the Judgment of the Superior Court entered on 8/14/14 at No. 1333 EDA 2012 affirming the order entered on 4/11/12 in the Court of Common Pleas, Civil Division, Philadelphia County at No. 00699 December Term 2009
CONCURRING AND DISSENTING OPINION
SENIOR JUDGE FRIEDMAN
I join in parts I, II, and III of the majority opinion. I respectfully dissent from part IV of the majority and join the dissenting opinion of Judge Colins.
I write separately only to emphasize that based on the parties' protracted adversarial history, Appellant's fears are real and not speculative. From the evidence presented, I would conclude that because the harm alleged is more likely than not to occur, Appellant has established good cause, thus warranting the limited protective order requested.
