                SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
                         Washington, D.C.


LITIGATION RELEASE No. 14974 / July 9, 1996

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION V. HARVEY P. TABB, ET AL.,
Civil Action No. C-95-03459-CW (N.D. Cal. Sept. 29, 1995)

     The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the
filing of a motion in the above action seeking an order adjudging
defendants Harvey P. Tabb, Donald R. Golan, American Ticketing
Systems, Inc., Business Investment Group, Inc. and Socal Ameritix
Limited Partnership (collectively, "defendants") in civil
contempt.  The Commission's Motion alleges that defendants have
continued to offer and sell unregistered securities in violation
of an Order of Permanent Injunction, issued by the Court in this
action against defendants.  The Order of Permanent Injunction
permanently enjoined defendants from future violations of the
registration provisions of the federal securities laws [Sections
5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act")
and Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange Act")].  The Commission's motion seeks the imposition
of daily fines until the defendants have demonstrated that they
are in full compliance with the Order of Permanent Injunction.

     As discussed in Litigation Release No. 14671, October 2,
1995, this action involves the alleged fraudulent offer and sale
of a series of unregistered limited and general partnership
interests by the defendants.  In its Complaint, the Commission
sought a permanent injunction against the defendants,
accountings, disgorgement plus prejudgment interest and civil
penalties pursuant to Section 20(d) of the Securities Act and
Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.
