negotiate for, or otherwise making unavailable or denying, a dwelling
on the basis familial status, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 3604(a), and
by making statements indicating a preference, limitation, or
discrimination in the rental of a dwelling on the basis of familial
status, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 3604(c).

controversy should be resolved without further litigation. Therefore,
without a trial or adjudication on the merits, the parties have
consented to this Order, as indicated by the signatures appearing
below.

law.
