In running his mo- tel, Patel employed people to provide maid and main- tenance services.

Additionally, Patel used a motel custom- er's credit card to his advan- tage without the consent of the customer. Additionally, as a motel owner and op- erator, Patel is entrusted by the city of Red Bluff to col- lect from each motel guest Transient Occupancy Tax and to provide such tax to the city each month.

PPX: November 28, at 10 am Department 1 PX: November 29, at 1:30 pm Department 1 Courtroundup By David Klepper and Elliot Spagat TheAssociatedPress SAN DIEGO President-elect Donald Trump agreed Fri- day to pay $25 million to settle several lawsuits al- leging that his now-defunct school for real estate inves- tors defrauded students who paid up to $35,000 to enroll in Trump University programs. If approved by a judge, the deal announced by New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman would set- tle a lawsuit he filed three years ago and two class-ac- tion lawsuits filed in Cali- fornia on behalf of former students. The suits alleged that Trump University failed to deliver on its promise to teach success in real estate. They accused the program of misleading students by calling itself a university when it was not an accred- ited school and by saying that Trump "hand-picked" instructors. Messages left with sev- eral of Trump's attorneys and a spokeswoman were not returned Friday. Trump has denied the allegations and said during the campaign that he would not settle. He told support- ers at a May rally that he would come to San Diego to testify after winning the presidency. "I could have settled this case numerous times, but I don't want to settle cases when we're right. I don't believe in it. And when you start settling cases, you know what happens? Every- body sues you because you get known as a settler. One thing about me, I am not known as a settler," Trump said at the time. The deal does not re- quire Trump to acknowl- edge wrongdoing. Schneiderman said the $25 million to be paid by Trump or one of his busi- ness entities includes res- titution for victims and $1 million in penalties to the state. Trump "fought us ev- ery step of the way, filing baseless charges and fruit- less appeals and refusing to settle for even modest amounts of compensation for the victims of his phony university. Today, that all changes," Schneiderman said in a statement. He called the settle- ment "a stunning rever- sal by Donald Trump and a major victory for the over 6,000 victims of his fraud- ulent university." A federal judge in Cal- ifornia had been set Fri- day to consider arguments on Trump's latest request to delay a trial until after Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20. After the settle- ment was announced, the trial was canceled. Trump's attorneys said in a court filing last week that preparations for the White House were "critical and all-consuming." Six months ago, when they unsuccess- fully sought a delay until af- ter Inauguration Day, lead attorney Daniel Petrocelli said the period between the election and swearing-in is hectic for a president-elect but that it was preferable to a trial during the campaign. "The task is momen- tous, exceedingly complex, and requires careful coor- dination involving the re- spective staffs and teams of both President (Barack) Obama and President-elect Trump," Trump's attorneys wrote. "In fewer than three months, the President-elect must be prepared to man- age 15 executive depart- ments, more than 100 fed- eral agencies, 2 million civil- ian employees, and a budget of almost $4 trillion." Trump's attorneys also raised the prospect of hav- ing the president-elect tes- tify by video recording be- fore the trial begins in the class-action lawsuit on Nov. 28.
