THAT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE IT CANNOT STAY. I INFORMED HIM THAT HE HAS TO STRIP THAT COMPLETELY OUT AND PUT IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE. AND HE'S IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT. OKAY SO HE IS WORKING WITH US, UM. AND LEGALLY IF THERE WAS ANY WAY TO GO AFTER THIS GENTLEMAN THAT'S BEEN LEASING THESE PLACES OUT TO THESE PEOPLE. THAT WOULD BE MY ULTIMATE GOAL TO GO AFTER HIM. OKAY, WELL, UM. I'M NOT HERE TO TELL YOU HOW TO DO THAT. BUT YOU HAVE A FULLY CAPABLE VILLAGE ATTORNEY WHO WHO YOU CAN CONSULT WITH. AND I'M SURE THAT THAT OPTION MAY EXIST SO OKAY? ALL RIGHT, UM, LET LET ME JUST. RUN THROUGH SOME OF THESE PHOTOS BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE FOR THE BUILDING OFFICIAL TO ACTUALLY TELL ME THAT THAT. AND WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IN THE PHOTOS IS HAVING. A VIOLATION OF THE BUILDING. RIGHT? WELL EVERYTHING'S A VIOLATION BECAUSE NOTHING WAS EVER PERMITTED. WELL, WE'VE GOT ZONING AND WE'VE GOT PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND WE'VE GOT. THEN WE'VE GOT HOUSING ISSUES BUT SPECIFIC TO THE BUILDING CODE ITSELF. NONE OF THE NONE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE NONE OF THE APPLIANCES. NONE OF THE. FIXTURES WERE PERMANENT, RIGHT AND THAT'S YOUR TESTIMONY. YES NONE OF THEM WERE PERMITTED AND THE WIRING THAT'S THERE DOES NOT MEET THE CODE. UM, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS KITCHENS, BATHROOMS, ALL THE WIRING HAS TO BE ON A GFI OUTLET. AND THAT'S NOT THERE. UM THE MINIMUM WITH FOR A HALLWAY IS 36 INCHES. THE MINIMUM WIDTH BETWEEN KITCHEN CABINETS IS 36 INCHES, AND IF YOU CAN SEE ON THOSE PICTURES, THEY'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THAT. UM YES, I'M LOOKING AT. THE M PANEL AND THAT SHOWS WHAT WAS 22 23 INCHES RIGHT AND THE PLUMBING IS ALL ILLEGAL BECAUSE NONE OF IT EXISTED BEFORE EXCEPT FOR THERE WAS ONE BATHROOM BACK THERE ORIGINALLY. WHERE THEY EXPANDED THAT BATHROOM. AND IF YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE PICTURES, YOU CAN SEE THAT THOUGHT THE TOILETS AND THE SHOWERS ARE ACTUALLY RAISED UP AND THE REASON FOR DOING THAT IS SO THEY CAN GET PLUMBING TO RUN ACROSS THE FLOOR. AND THEN THEY DUMPED INTO THE EXISTING SEWER LINE. THAT'S THERE, WHICH IS ALL ILLEGAL. OKAY? THE UM, THE BATHROOM THAT. WAS THERE WAS PART OF THE COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENT. YES ORIGINALLY, BUT THAT'S BEEN REWORKED TO ALRIGHT. AND THAT WAS. I HAVE LOST TRACK NOW, WHICH WHICH BATHROOM WHICH HANG ON, LET ME JUST GET AWAY BACK. WOMEN. HANG ON. I'VE BEEN SWORN YOU IN YET. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL GET TO THAT LATER. OKAY ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO TELL ME, MR JORDAN? UH NO. I MEAN, IT'S LONG AS MR FENNELL IS GOING TO COOPERATE WITH US. YOU KNOW, I'LL WORK WITH HIM ON GETTING ALL THIS TAKEN CARE OF. UM BUT WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT BUILDING BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED BECAUSE WE'VE GOT AN ISSUE NOW, WITH EGRESS OUT THE BACK OF THE BUILDING. WHERE THESE APARTMENTS WERE CONSTRUCTED. YOU'VE LOST YOUR SECOND MEANS OF EGRESS OUT . THE BACK OF THE BUILDING NOW ACTUALLY WAS GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT THAT, UM. IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE WITH SOME OF THESE.
APARTMENTS. THERE WAS LIKE ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT. YOU GOT IT? YEAH, AND THAT MEANS ALSO THE SAME SITUATION. IT MUST EXIST. IF. IT DOES FOR THE COMMERCIAL SIDE AS WELL. YES YES
[00:40:08]
, THAT'S WHAT I'M REFERRING TO, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A FRONT AND A BACK ENTRANCE ON THE COMMERCIAL. AND YOU KNOW, THE ALSO WITH THOSE WHERE THEY BUILT THOSE BEDROOMS. THERE'S NO MEANS OF EGRESS FOR ANYBODY TO GET OUT OF THERE. GOD FORBID. THERE WAS A FIRE NEAR THE DOORWAY. THEY'RE ALL TRAPPED. THERE'S NO WINDOWS . NOTHING ALRIGHT. IS THE BUILDING SMOKE DETECTORS? NO.NOTHING'S THE BUILDING OCCUPIED NOW. UM THE OTHER END OF THE BUILDING IS OCCUPIED, BUT. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYBODY AT THAT BUSINESS, AND MR FINALLY WAS TALKING TO HIM BEFORE SAID THAT HE DOESN'T BELIEVE ANYBODY'S BEEN AT THAT BUSINESS FOR THE LAST THREE OR FOUR DAYS. AND THAT'S THE COMMERCIAL. SO YES. HOW ABOUT THE RESIDENTIAL SIDE? ANYBODY OCCUPYING IT? I'VE BEEN BY THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND I BELIEVE EVERYBODY'S GONE. HE CAN ANSWER THAT BETTER THAN I CAN. ALL RIGHT. DID YOU PUT SOME SORT OF A NOTICE ON THOSE DOORS ? WE POSTED A NOTICE FOR UNSAFE STRUCTURE ON THE DOORS AND THE THERE SHOULD BE PICTURES OF THAT WHICH IS GOING TO BE A SERVICE.

NO, NO OBJECTIONS. ALRIGHT SO WITHOUT OBJECTION, IT'S SO ORDERED. AND ITEMS ONE THROUGH 27 OR AN EVIDENCE AND. LOOKING AT THOSE PHOTOS, PARTICULARLY UM. FBI ANY REASON TO TELL ME THAT. THEN YOU DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THIS PROPERTY. NO I HAD NO CLUE WHEN I ORIGINALLY RENTED THESE OUT. ROBINSON UM ANYTIME I RENT THESE UNITS OUT THERE 24 FT WIDE 40 FT DEEP ONE BIG OPEN ROOM WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE TWO WALLS FOR THE BATHROOM IN THE CORNER. SO THE ORIGINAL BUILDING HAD FROM THE UNITS HE RENTED, HAD THREE BATHROOMS THAT CONSISTED OF JUST A TOILET AND A SINK. SO WHAT? WHAT? SO HE RENTED THE ENTIRE BUILDING JUST THAT JUST THE TWO UNITS ON THE END. FIVE UNITS TOTAL IN THE BUILDING, AND THE TWO UNITS HE RENTED HAD THREE ORIGINAL BATHROOMS, WHICH IS THE TOILET AND SINK. THAT'S ALL THE BATHROOMS IN THE BUILDING.
CONSISTENT. WHEN DID YOU LEASE THE PROPERTY TO HIM? RENTED ONE UNIT TO HIM AND 2014. AND I BELIEVE THAT WAS 15 808, AND THEN HE RENTED. THE SECOND UNIT, 15 798. BELIEVE IN 2000. H 17. I BELIEVE. ALL RIGHT, AND. DO YOU MAKE? UM VISITS TO THIS PROPERTY . I MEAN, YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET INSIDE EVERYTHING. HE CHANGED THE LOCKS. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS THE FRONT STORE PART AS WELL. AND ANY TIME I TRIED TO GET IN CONTACT WITH HIM, HE CLAIMS HE'S OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND HE'S IN COLOMBIA. ANY TIME I VISITED THE STORE DURING THEIR. UM WORKING HOURS. IT'S ALWAYS A DIFFERENT EMPLOYEE. THEY TRY TO CALL THEM. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T GET A HOLD OF THEM. ANY TIME I'VE GOTTEN ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES PHONE NUMBERS, I CAN CALL THEM BACK WITH A COMPLAINT OR TELL HIM I NEED TO GET A HOLD OF THEM. THEY'LL TELL ME THEY DON'T WORK THERE ANYMORE. SO I HAVE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WITH THEIR HELP. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACTUALLY ACCESS THE BUILDING. AND THAT'S WHEN WE FOUND OUT EVERYTHING THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON INSIDE. WHAT IS YOU? DO WE HAVE A GOOD RESIDENCE ADDRESS FOR YOU? YES US PALM CITY 6457. OKAY, SO YOU'RE IN THE AREA AND, UM AND DO WE HAVE A GOOD EMAIL ADDRESS FOR YOU? I DON'T KNOW IF I'VE EVER GIVEN THAT BUT I DO HAVE AN EMAIL ADDRESS. I DO HAVE I DO HAVE AN EMAIL? YES BEFORE YOU GO . I WANT YOU TO LEAVE THAT BECAUSE IF YOU WILL ACCEPT SERVICE THAT WAY. THEN WE CAN EMAIL YOU COPIES OF OKAY OF DOCUMENTS AND, UM, COPY OF WHATEVER ORDER COMES OUT OF TODAY. OKAY THAT'LL BE GOOD. ALRIGHT, SO IF YOU GET THAT OFFICER PEREZ. THAT WOULD BE GOOD, OKAY? UM. DO YOU HAVE ANY TESTIMONY THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE OR NOT? NOT REALLY. I MEAN, WE'VE TAKEN CARE OF. I CAN JUST ADD ON TO REITERATE TO ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID SO FAR. 90% OF THIS. I'VE ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF. THERE I'VE RIPPED DOWN ALL THE WALLS. THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE OF THE BUILDING. AS FAR AS THE INTERIOR. I'VE GOT A COUPLE MORE WALLS. I HAVE TO TAKE DOWN. THE BATHROOMS. I'VE GOTTEN ONE RIPPED OUT. I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO RE PLUMB EVERYTHING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL WAY IT WAS BEFORE I RENTED IT, ROBINSON. AND I'VE ALSO LET HIM KNOW THAT HE CAN'T STAY IN THE BUILDING. I SPOKE WITH HIS SON WHO SPEAKS FLUENT ENGLISH AND TOLD HIM HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE OUT THAT I NO LONGER WANT HIM IN THE BUILDING. HE ASKED ME HOW LONG. DID HE HAVE TO REMOVE HIS STUFF, AND I TOLD HIM AS SOON AS I COULD GET IT OUT. I'VE BEEN TO THIS TO THIS STOREFRONT DURING OPERATING HOURS, AND NOBODY SHOWED UP TO OPEN IT. SO SINCE THIS SINCE ALL THIS HAPPENED, NOBODY'S RETURNED TO A STORE TO OPEN IT UP. AND AS FAR AS THE EXTERIOR GOES, YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF REMODELING IT. WE JUST PUT A NEW ROOF ON THE BUILDING. I SUBMIT AN APPLICATION. SIX MONTHS AGO
[00:50:04]
TO RE ASPHALT PARKING LOT, BUT WE'RE WAITING ON ENGINEERING PLANS NOW. TO GET THAT DONE. AND SO THE EXTERIOR WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON. BUT AS FAR AS THE INTERIOR GOES EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THESE PHOTOS 90% OF IT IS GONE HAS BEEN RIPPED OUT ALREADY. SO IT SHOULDN'T 30 DAYS SHOULD NOT BE ANY ISSUE WHATSOEVER TO BRING EVERYTHING BACK UP TO THE TO THE WAY IT WAS BEFORE HE RENTED IT. ALL RIGHT, LET ME LET ME ASK YOU THIS, UM HAVE YOU ALSO STARTED? UM SOME SORT OF PROCEEDING IN THE COURT TO VICTIM. NOT YET. I WAS HOPING HE WOULD DO IT ON HIS OWN.VOLITION WITHOUT HAVING TO FILE AN ADDICTION. IF I FIND YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE VIOLATIONS , WHICH ARE MAPPED TO DO I MEAN , THEY SEEM PRETTY BLATANT TO ME, RIGHT? UM, I. I WOULD SAY THAT CERTAINLY GIVES YOU GROUNDS FOR EVICTION. OKAY, WELL, THAT'S THAT'S GOOD. BUT THAT'S A NEW TALK TO YOUR OWN LAWYER ABOUT THAT. OKAY BUT IT IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT. VIOLATIONS OR COVERED USUALLY IN JUST ABOUT EVERY LEASE I'VE EVER SEEN. PLUS, HE'S YET TO PAY THIS MONTH'S RENT EITHER. IT WAS DUE ON THE 15TH AND HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANYTHING. ALL RIGHT, UM.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO TELL ME. NO THAT SHOULD BE IT RIGHT? I DO HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
ONE IS THE YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE WAITING ON ENGINEERING FOR THE PARKING LOT. YES SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE DONE IN 30 DAYS. NO, BECAUSE I'M STILL THE ENGINEER THAT WAS OUT THERE. UM. AT THE SITE, HE SAID. I NEEDED AN UPDATED SURVEY. SO WE HIRED MIXING LAND SURVEYING. THEY WERE OUT THEY'VE DONE ON THE SITE WORK. BUT NOW WE'RE WAITING FOR EVERYTHING TO COME BACK FROM THE DRAFTSMAN. THEN THE SURVEY. THE NEW SURVEY HAS GOT TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE ENGINEER. HE STILL HAS TO DO THE ENGINEERING PLANS. AND THEN TRINITY ASPHALT HAS TO RESUBMIT EVERYTHING. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT SUBMITTED THE ORIGINAL APPLICATION.
ALRIGHT, I'M GOING THROUGH. GOING THROUGH THE VIOLATIONS THAT WERE CHARGED. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT MAY BE THE ONLY. THAT MAY BE THE ONLY ONE THAT. ACTUALLY IS GONNA TAKE SOME TIME. THAT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG PROCESS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY. THE SURVEYORS TAKING SO LONG. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S THE VIOLATION OF SECTION THREE DASH. 4.11 IT'S NUMBER 12 AND THE OKAY. THE LIST. BUT IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE COULD BE. RESOLVED PRETTY QUICKLY FROM WHERE YOU ARE. ALL RIGHT, UM ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE? THAT SHOULD BE IT. ALL RIGHT. SO, UMD YOUR TESTIMONY AS WELL, AND ALL OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THAT I'VE SEEN, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT VIOLATIONS AS CHARGED TO EXIST ON THE PROPERTY. AND I'M GONNA ORDER COMPLIANCE FOR ALL VIOLATIONS.

IS THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY AND YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY. YOU KNOW FOR WHAT OCCURS ON THIS PROPERTY. SO I THINK THERE'S GOT TO BE AT LEAST A SMALL FIND COMPONENT.
WHEN HE WOULD COME, IT WOULD BE TO THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTIES. AND IT HAS TO BE WHEN THEY'RE THERE, BECAUSE THERE WERE THERE WERE WORKING TWO O'CLOCK. DRIVER GO THERE. HE LOOKED INSIDE THE PROPERTY. THEY WILL GIVE THEM. READ, AND HE WOULD JUST LEAVE THE BAG HAD HERE. THAT'S FINE.
[01:15:07]
WELL AS AS AN OWNER. EVEN YOU KNOW, A LANDLORD OWNER HAS REASONABLE ACCESS. TWO PROPERTY THAT YOU OWN. AND I'M YOU KNOW, I. WHEN I SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT, THAT'S AS A EGREGIOUS AS THIS WAS AND I REMEMBER THIS CASE IT IT TELLS ME THAT UM. YOU KNOW, I KNOW. OWNER SEES MAYBE WHAT HE OR SHE WANTS TO SEE AND I DON'T. I'M NOT COMPLETELY SYMPATHETIC. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION AND I APPRECIATE THAT, AND I DON'T. OVER I DON'T WANT TO OVER PENALIZE YOU, BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A SMALL FINE COMPONENT. AND SO WHAT I'M GOING TO DO. UM I THERE ARE COSTS AND COSTS CERTAINLY FROM TODAY AS WELL. SO THAT WOULD TAKE PROBABLY 2, $300 AND COSTS . YEAH I'M GONNA I'M GONNA FIND THAT, UM, THAT THE VIOLATIONS NOW HAVE BEEN BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE. AND I'M GOING TO FIND YOU. I'M GOING TO FIND YOU $300, BUT I'M ALSO GOING TO AWARD COSTS IN THE AMOUNT OF $300 SO IT'LL BE $600. AND IT'S REALLY GENEROUS WHEN, WHEN MOST JURISDICTIONS WHO WOULD MAYBE KNOCK IT DOWN TO 10% THAT WOULD BE $7700. SO. SO I'M GOING TO SAY 300 COSTS. IN A $300 FINE. IN IOWA. I'LL ISSUE AN ORDER. UE DAY. IF YOU GIVE OFFICER PEREZ YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. THEN I WILL GET THAT HE MAY ALREADY HAVE IT.AND I WILL GET THAT TO YOU THAT WAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. GOOD LUCK TO YOU. GOOD LUCK.

SO CONFUSED . OKAY SO MAYBE I DO NEED TO TAKE SOME TESTIMONY. WHY DON'T YOU JUST HAVE A HAVE A SEAT UP HERE SOMEWHERE? ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD. UM MR PRESS. UM. SO WITH REGARDS TO CASE NUMBER 21 148.
THIS IS AT THE ADDRESS OF 15259 SOUTHWEST FOLKS, GRUB STREET. CITY OF INDIAN TOWN, FLORIDA.
34956. THE SITUATION HERE IS THERE WAS A DRIVEWAY THAT WAS NEWLY INSTALLED. THERE WAS A
[01:20:06]
PERMIT TAKEN OUT FOR THE DRIVEWAY. BUT THE SIDEWALK WAS REMOVED. IN THE PROCESS, AND THERE WAS NEVER, UM. IT WASN'T EVER INCLUDED IN THE PLANS THAT WAS SUBMITTED TO OUR BUILDING DEPARTMENT. THE REMOVAL OF THE ACTUAL SIDEWALK. OKAY SO AS A RESULT OF THAT THEY WERE CITED FOR FAILING TO, UM OBTAIN OR INCLUDE. THEIR REMOVAL OF THE SIDEWALK IN THEIR ORIGINAL PERMIT. UM. AND IN TURN, WERE INSTRUCTED TO REINSTALL THE SIDEWALK BASED ON INFORMATION THAT WE GOT FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AFTER HE ASSESSED THE CIRCUMSTANCE. NOW THE REASONING FOR THE CONTINUANCE IS I KNOW THAT MR RANJIT AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION AND WE'RE ALL WAITING FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM OUR PUBLIC WORKS. DIRECTOR WHO IS TO BE IN CONTACT WITH MR RANJIT VERY SOON TO DISCUSS. UM HOW THEY CAN PROCEED BECAUSE MR RANJIT HAD MADE AN INQUIRY ON WHETHER OR NOT A VARIANCE OF SOME SORT COULD BE PULLED. ALL RIGHT, SO BASICALLY YOU JUST NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO FINISH UP THE WORK. NO. YEAH WE YEAH, THAT'S THE DRIVEWAYS. NICE IT'S A PAVED DRIVEWAY. IT WAS DONE WELL, BUT THAT THE ISSUE IS THAT THE REMOVAL OF THE SIDEWALK WAS NEVER INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL PLANS HOW MUCH SIDEWALK WAS REMOVED? WAS IT THE WIDTH OF THE DRIVEWAY WITH OF THE DRIVEWAY? ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, AND SO RATHER THAN HAVE THE. HAVE YOUR DRIVEWAY, THEN THE SIDEWALK AND THEN THE DRIVEWAY APRON.CONTINUE YOU JUST PAVED THE WHOLE THING. IS THAT CORRECT? YES. OKAY? OR. I ACTUALLY A LOT OF JURISDICTIONS. UM APPARENTLY THE VILLAGES AND ONE OF THEM WILL ACTUALLY LET YOU DO THAT.
WHERE WHERE YOU CAN JUST PUT PAPERS. FOR THE FULL BLANK. I DON'T I CAN'T TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW TO COMPLY. BUT YEAH, IN FACT , I CAN TELL YOU YOU WILL ULTIMATELY, I THINK NEED TO COMPLY. I'M NOT. I'M JUST GOING TO CONTINUE THE CASE. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE IT UNTIL. THE WHAT DO YOU THINK? THE JANUARY HEARING? YEAH, I WOULD SAY SOMETHING. OKAY. JANUARY HEARING. AH, THIRD TUESDAY AS THE 18TH THAT SOUND RIGHT? YES. YEAH JANUARY, RIGHT, SO I'M GOING TO CONTINUE THIS CASE UNTIL JANUARY, 18TH. UM AND AT THAT POINT IF IT'S. IF IT'S STILL NEEDS ATTENTION IF IT'S STILL NOT IN COMPLIANCE, THEN, UM THEN MAGISTRATE WILLIAMS WILL HEAR THE CASE AND TAKE TESTIMONY AND WE'LL WE'LL GO FROM THERE SO CONTINUE TO JANUARY. 18TH AT 10 A.M. AND IF YOU'RE IN COMPLIANCE BY THAT TIME, ALL WE NEED IS, UM AH, EITHER SOME INDICATION THAT YOU'RE IN COMPLIANCE. YOU DON'T NEED TO APPEAR AT THAT POINT, BUT IF YOU'RE NOT IN COMPLIANCE THEN YOU DO NEED TO COME BACK. SO YOU WANT TO BE IN TOUCH WITH WITH OFFICER PEREZ ON THAT MATTER, OKAY, AND I I'LL SEND OUT AN ORDER AGAIN TODAY IF YOU GIVE. IF YOU GIVE US YOU OUR EMAIL ADDRESS, THEN I WILL MAKE SURE THAT WE JUST EMAIL IT TO YOU AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S EASIEST WAY TO GET THIS DONE, OKAY?
