                                                         CA No. 00CV 218B

   CONSENT ORDER

   On November 17, 2000, the United States commenced this action on
   behalf of Wendy A. Sheridan and her minor child Dalton James Spence
   ("Complainants"). At all times relevant to this case, Defendants Larry
   Barone and Lucy Barone ("Defendants") were owners of the residential
   rental property located at 1018 East 24^th Street, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
   The Defendants own several residential rental properties in Wyoming.

   The United States brought its Complaint pursuant to section 812(o) of
   the Fair Housing Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 3612(o). The Complaint
   alleges that the Defendants discriminated against the Complainants by
   refusing to rent or negotiate for, or otherwise making unavailable or
   denying, a dwelling on the basis of the Complainants' familial status,
   in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 3604(a), and by representing, because of
   the Complainants' familial status,that a dwelling was not available
   when such dwelling was in fact available, in violation of 42 U.S.C.
   3604(d).

   Defendants have denied the allegations set forth in the Complaint.
   Specifically, they deny that they refused to rent or negotiate for, or
   that they otherwise made unavailable or denied, a dwelling on the
   basis of the Complainants' familial status. Defendants further deny
   that, because of the Complainants' familial status, they represented
   that a dwelling was not available when such dwelling was in fact
   available.Defendants deny that they have violated any provision of the
   Fair Housing Act.

   The parties agree that, in order to conserve time and expense, the
   controversy should be resolved without further litigation. Therefore,
   without a trial or adjudication on the merits, and without admission
   of liability by the Defendants, the parties have consented to the
