Defendants.

CV-S-97-00750-PMP (LRL)

STIPULATED FINAL ORDER
FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION
AND SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS
FOR MONETARY RELIEF AGAINST
DEFENDANT ROSARIO "RAY"
FILOSI

Plaintiff, the Federal Trade Commission ("Commission"), commenced this action by filing its complaint against defendants Dayton Family Productions, Inc., J. J. Dayton Associates, Inc., High Voltage Pictures, Inc. aka High Voltage Entertainment, John Rubbico, individually and doing business as J J Family Film Productions, John Iavarone, Glen Burke, Ignacio Jimenez, Kevin Roy, and Fred Davidson. The Commission later amended its complaint to name American Family Productions, Inc., American Family Consultants, Inc., Reunion Management, Inc., Icon Management Services, Inc., Aztec Escrow, Inc., Raymond Filosi, and Richard S. Hart as additional defendants. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants engaged in unfair or deceptive acts or practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act ("FTC Act"), 15 U.S.C. § 45, and the Telemarketing Sales Rule ("TSR"), 16 C.F.R. Part 310, and seeks a permanent injunction and monetary relief pursuant to Section 13(b) of the FTC Act and the TSR. The Commission and defendant Rosario "Ray" Filosi (“defendant Filosi”) hereby stipulate to the entry of this Final Order for Permanent Injunction and Settlement of Claims for Monetary Relief Against Ray Filosi ("Order"). Being advised of the premises, the Court finds:

1. This is an action by the Commission instituted under Sections 5 and 13(b) of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 45 and 53(b), and the TSR, 16 C.F.R. Part 310. The amended complaint seeks both permanent injunctive relief and consumer redress for alleged unfair or deceptive acts or practices by the defendants in connection with the promotion of investments in films.
2. The Commission has the authority under Section 13(b) of the FTC Act and the TSR to seek the relief it has requested.
3. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this case and has jurisdiction over defendant Filosi. Venue in the District of Nevada is proper, and the complaint states a claim upon which relief may be granted against defendant Filosi under Sections 5 and 13(b) of the FTC Act and the TSR.
4. The activities of defendant Filosi are in or affecting commerce, as defined in 15 U.S.C. § 44.
5. Defendant Filosi neither admits nor denies the allegations set forth in the amended complaint.
6. Defendant Filosi waives all rights to seek judicial review or otherwise challenge or contest the validity of this Order. Defendant Filosi also waives any claim that he may have held under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412, concerning the prosecution of this action to the date of this Order. Defendant Filosi shall bear his own costs and attorneys fees.
7. This action and the relief awarded herein are in addition to, and not in lieu of, other remedies as may be provided by law, including both civil and criminal remedies.
8. Consistent with the principles set forth in United States v. Halper, 490 U.S. 435 (1989), defendant Filosi, by signing and stipulating to this Order, acknowledges and agrees that this civil action has not placed him in jeopardy and that this Order does not preclude subsequent criminal action against him.
9. Entry of this Order is in the public interest.
