STATE OF WISCONSIN                    :  
  IN SUPREME COURT 
 
 
Donald Rumage,  
 
          Plaintiff-Appellant, 
 
     v. 
 
Robert M. Gullberg, Janet Gullberg,  
Advantage Bank F.S.B., and The Bank of  
Elmwood,  
 
          Defendants-Respondents. 
 
 
¶1 
PER 
CURIAM 
 
(on 
motion 
for 
reconsideration).   
Plaintiff-Appellant Donald Rumage moves for reconsideration of 
our decision in Rumage v. Gullberg, 2000 WI 53, 235 Wis. 2d 279, 
611 N.W.2d 458, on grounds that the court overlooked a 
controlling fact appearing in the record.  Rumage argues that 
Reinier Kemeling sold his residential property in a voluntary 
private sale, during a mortgage foreclosure redemption period, 
in contemplation of an imminent sheriff's sale.  He argues that 
a sale under these circumstances was a sale under "compulsion," 
not an arms-length transaction under no compulsion that produces 
fair market value.

¶2 
After 
careful 
consideration, 
we 
conclude 
that 
appellant's argument is without merit in this case.  In ¶ 45 of 
the court's opinion we state:  "Judge Simanek found no evidence 
of collusion or fraud between Kemeling and Burmeister."  This 
sentence is herewith amended to read:  "Judge Simanek found no 
evidence of compulsion, collusion or fraud between Kemeling and 
Burmeister."  The record does not demonstrate that the circuit 
court's finding was clearly erroneous. 
¶3 
The motion for reconsideration is denied without 
costs.
