In running his motel, Patel employed people to provide maid and maintenance services. Based on an initial investi- gation, it was determined that Patel failed to provide accurate information to his workers' compensation in- surance carrier. Addition- ally, Patel used a motel cus- tomer's credit card to his advantage without the con- sent of the customer. Addi- tionally, as a motel owner and operator, Patel was en- trusted by the city of Red Bluff to collect from each motel guest Transient Oc- cupancy Tax and to pro- vide such tax to the city each month. Based on an investigation, it appears that Patel significantly un- der-reported the taxes due to the city.

U.S. District Judge Gon- zalo Curiel made the an- nouncement during a hear- ing in San Diego. He did not say when he would make his decision. Curiel gave preliminary approval to the deal in De- cember. Theagreementisintended to end nearly seven years of legal battles with custom- ers who claimed they were misled by failed promises to teach success in real estate. It would settle two class- action lawsuits and a civil lawsuitbyNewYorkAttorney General Eric Schneiderman. Trumphadvowedneverto settle but said after the elec- tion that he didn't have time for a trial, even though he believed he would have pre- vailed. He acknowledged no wrongdoing. Attorneys for the custom- ers have said thousands of people would get at least 80 percent of their money back, based on the roughly 3,730 claims submitted. When attorneys reached a deal 10 days after Trump's election,Curielsaidhehoped it would be part of "a heal- ing process that this country very sorely needs." A month later, he granted the prelimi- nary approval. But two customers have objected,andCurielwillalso decide whether to allow one ofthemtooptoutandsuethe president individually. Trump has paid $25 mil- lion into escrow to settle the cases. The lawsuits allege that Trump University gave na- tionwide seminars that were like infomercials, constantly pressuring people to spend more and, in the end, failing to deliver. Sherri Simpson, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at- torney,saidsheandapartner paid$35,000in2010toenroll in Trump University's "Gold Elite" program to be paired with a mentor who would teach them Trump's secret real estate investment strat- egies. Simpson, who appeared in two anti-Trump cam- paign ads, said they got little for their money — the videos were 5 years old, the materi- als covered information that couldbefoundfreeonthein- ternet,andhermentordidn't return calls or emails. "I would like an admis- sion that he was wrong, an admissionthat,'Oops,maybe I didn't handle it as well as I should have, I didn't set it up as well as I should have, that Ididn'tmaintainitoroversee it as well as I should have,'" SimpsontoldTheAssociated Press on Wednesday. Attorneys for Trump and thosesuinghimsaythedead- linetooptoutwasinNovem- ber2015andSimpsonmissed her chance. Thirteen people opted out before that date, none of whom have shown a desire to sue the president.
