States District Court for the Central
District of California.
The consent decree settles claims
against the management company of
residential properties containing

brought on behalf of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development,
(‘‘HUD’’), and the Environmental
Protection Agency, (‘‘EPA’’) under the
Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard
Reduction Act 42 U.S.C. 4851 et seq.
(‘‘Lead Hazard Reduction Act’’). The

that the defendant failed to make one or
more of the disclosures or to complete
one or more of the disclosure activities

apartments for lead-based paint and will
inspect 254 studio units within thirty
(30) days of entry of the consent decree.
Linder has agreed to abate any lead
found to be in fair or deteriorating
condition and will apply interim
controls to any paint found to be in
intact condition. All window units will
be replaced in every unit found to
contain lead, regardless of whether it is
a studio unit or not. The timing of
window replacement varies from four
(4) to six (6) years, depending on
whether the unit is a studio unit and
whether the unit houses a child or
children under six years of age.
In addition, the defendant will pay an
administrative penalty of $7,700 to the
United States and $2,300 in costs to the

permit the purchase (the Purchase) by
the respective IRAs of Paul and Lynne
Niednagel (the Account Holders) of
certain ownership interests (the Units)
from Pacific Island Investment Partners,
LLC (Pacific Island) (the issuer of the
Units), an entity which is indirectly
controlled by Daniel and Stephen
Niednagel (the Principals), both of
whom are lineal descendents of the

the Account Holders.
With respect to the information
contained in the Summary of Facts and
Representations section of the Notice,
footnote number 4 located at the bottom
of the second column on page 30638
should be corrected to read as follows:
‘‘** The Department notes that a
divergence of interests may develop
over time between (1) the IRAs and the
IRA fiduciaries in their capacities as
individuals, or (2) the IRAs and other
persons in which the IRA fiduciaries, in
their individual capacities, may have an
interest. In the event that such a
divergence of interests develops, the
IRA fiduciaries would be required to
take steps to eliminate the conflict of
interest in order to avoid engaging in a
prohibited transaction.’’
