         UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Litigation Release No. 15301 / March 19, 1997   

SEC v. Gregg Michael Brenner and Pamela Sue Topper
(N.D. Ga., Civil Action No. 1:97-CV-0607-GET)

     The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that
on March 13, 1997, the Honorable G. Ernest Tidwell, United States
District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia, entered an
order of permanent injunction against defendant Pamela Sue Topper
("Topper"), enjoining her from violating Section 17(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.  Topper was
ordered to pay disgorgement in the amount of $8,450.00 plus
$1,183.27 in prejudgment interest within thirty days of the date
of the judgment.  Further, Topper was ordered to pay a civil
penalty under the Insider Trading Sanctions Act of 1984 in the
amount of $8,450.00 within thirty days of the date of the order.

     Topper consented to the relief without admitting or denying
the allegations set forth in a complaint filed by the Commission
on March 10, 1997.  The complaint alleged that on June 13, 1996,
Topper, as General Counsel of Medaphis Corporation ("Medaphis"),
an Atlanta-based medical services company, was in possession of
material non-public information regarding search warrants that
were executed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") on
two Medaphis offices in California.  In violation of her
fiduciary duty to Medaphis, Topper disclosed the information
about the FBI investigation to her mother and co-defendant Gregg
Michael Brenner ("Brenner").  Both individuals then sold shares
of Medaphis stock.  The complaint further alleged that Brenner
also disclosed the FBI action against Medaphis to his father and
brother, who promptly sold their shares of Medaphis stock.

     On June 15, 1995 at the close of trading, Medaphis issued a
public announcement about the FBI investigation of Medaphis.  The
price of Medaphis stock dropped sharply the next day.  By selling
their shares of Medaphis stock prior to the announcement,
Topper's mother, Brenner, Brenner's father and brother avoided
losses of approximately $94,000.
