Patrick J. La Frankie v. Robert A. Miklich

Patrick J. La Frankie appeals from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County denying his motion for post-trial relief and granting judgment in favor of Robert Miklich (Trooper Miklich) notwithstanding a jury verdict for La Frankie on an abuse of process claim. The issues on appeal are whether the trial court erred by submitting to the jury the question of whether La Frankie was guilty of the underlying crimes of unlawful use of a credit card and forgery; and whether the trial court properly determined that Trooper Miklich is immune from suit.
