THIS LAWSUIT HAD NOTHING TO DOWITH SECURITIES. RATHER IT AROSE FROM A LAPSE IN AN ACCIDENT ANDHEALTH INSURANCE POLICY DOMENY HAD PURCHASED FROM THE HARTFORDINC. CO. IN ITS CLAIM AGAINST ME, DOMENY ALLEGED THAT I HAD THERESPONSIBLITY TO REVIEW AND DID REVIEW THE PROPOSED INSURANCECOVERAGE AND ALLEGEDLY ADVISED DOMENY OF ITS ADEQUACY. DOMENYSOUGHT $250,000 IN DAMAGES AGAINST ALL OF THE DEFENDANTS (OFWHICH THERE WERE EIGHT). WHEN THE CASE WAS SETTLED, I DID NOTHAVE TO PAY ANY OF THE SETTLEMENT COST. Damage Amount Requested: $250,000.00 Settlement Amount: $12,500.00 Broker Comment: ALL OF THE DEFENDANTS (EXCEPT ME) CONTRIBUTED TOTHE SETTLEMENT. I WAS NOT ASKED TO CONTRIBUTE, AS SHEARSONLEHMAN HUTTON EXPRESSED ITS CONFIDENCE THAT THERE HAD BEEN NOWRONGDOING BY ME. I CONTINUE TO BE EMPLOYED BY SHEARSON. THESUIT BY DOMENY TOOL WAS THE ONLY COMPLAINT EVER FILED AGAINSTME. EF HUTTON INVESTIGATION DETERMINED NO MISCONDUCT BY ME.
