IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FO THE
   SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

   United States of America,
        Plaintiff,

   v.

                                                         Civil Action No.
                                                       3:00-cv-00-849-DRH

   Dennis Fournie,
   Patrick Daniels,
        Defendants.

   ___________________________________

   CONSENT ORDER

   On October 20, 2000, the United States commenced this action on behalf
   of Ms. Wanakee Holman against Defendants Dennis Fournie, the owner,
   and Patrick Daniels ("Defendants"), the property manager of 62
   Hillside Lane, Belleville, Illinois.

   The Complaint was filed pursuant to the Fair Housing Act, as amended,
   42 U.S.C. §3612(o), after the Secretary of the Department of Housing
   and Urban Development ("HUD") conducted an investigation, attempted
   conciliation without success, determined that reasonable cause existed
   to believe that a discriminatory housing practice had occurred, and
   issued charges of discrimination against Defendants Dennis Fournie and
   Patrick Daniels. The Defendants elected to have this matter resolved
   in a federal civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §3612(a).

   The Complaint alleges that the Defendants discriminated against Ms.
   Holman on the basis of her race or color by violating Section 804 of
   the Fair Housing Act, which makes it illegal to commit either of the
   following housing practices: refusing to rent or otherwise making a
   dwelling unavailable, because of race or color, 42 U.S.C. § 3604(a),
   or representing that any dwelling is not available to rent, sell, or
   inspect, when such dwelling is in fact so available, because of race
   or color. 42 U.S.C. § 3604(d). The Defendants deny the allegations.

   The parties desire to avoid costly and protracted litigation and agree
   that this action should be resolved by settlement, without a trial or
   other evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, the parties agree to the entry
   of this Consent Order, as indicated by the signatures appearing below.

   Accordingly, it is ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that:

                       SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
