LITIGATION RELEASE No. 15016 / August 14, 1996

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION V. HARVEY P. TABB, ET AL.,
Civil Action No. C-95-03459-CW (N.D. Cal. Sept. 29, 1995)

     On August 2, 1996, the Honorable Claudia Wilken, United
States District Court Judge, entered an Order adjudging
defendants Harvey P. Tabb, Donald R. Golan, American Ticketing
Systems, Inc., Business Investment Group, Inc. and Socal Ameritix
Limited Partnership (collectively, "defendants") in civil
contempt.  The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
and the defendants had stipulated to the entry of the Order.

     The Order found that defendants had continued to offer and
sell unregistered securities in violation of an Order of
Permanent Injunction issued by the Court in this action against
the defendants.  The Order of Permanent Injunction, entered on
October 4, 1995, permanently enjoined the defendants from future
violations of the registration provisions of the federal
securities laws [Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of
1933 ("Securities Act") and Section 15(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")].  In lieu of the
imposition of civil fines or other penalties against defendants
for their civil contempt, the Order requires that the defendants
provide the Commission with a cash receipts schedule, on a
monthly basis, for a period of six months.   

     This action involves the alleged fraudulent offer and sale
of a series of unregistered limited and general partnership
interests by the defendants.  In its Complaint, the Commission
sought a permanent injunction against the defendants,
accountings, disgorgement plus prejudgment interest and civil
penalties pursuant to Section 20(d) of the Securities Act and
Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.
