THE DEFENDANT

2. Stephen J. Fischer resides in Los Angeles, California. Until 1999, Fischer held securities licenses and acted as a registered representative.

FISCHER HAS VIOLATED A COMMISSION ORDER

3. On April 18, 2001, the Commission issued an Order Making Findings And Imposing Remedial Sanctions And Cease-And-Desist Order As To Stephen J. Fischer ("Order") in an administrative proceeding in which Fischer was a respondent. Among other things, the Order required Fischer to pay a $5,000 civil penalty to the United States Treasury. Pursuant to the Order, Fischer was required to pay $3,000 of the penalty by May 18, 2001, and the remaining $2,000 of the penalty by July 17, 2001. Fischer consented to the Order and had actual notice of it. Nevertheless, Fischer has failed to pay any portion of the $5,000 penalty.
