Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

As the plaintiff in a small claims court civil case (state of PA), I received a letter from the defendant's attorney requesting all relevant paperwork. Do I need to comply? I am under the impression that "discovery" is not required in this court and am confused as how to respond. Thank you for the help.

There is no pre-trial discovery in small claims court. I assume you mean DJ court. However, you will need to provide to the other atty in advance all documents you intend to submit into evidence at trial. Good luck!
