UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

MICHAEL L. BUESGENS,

 Petitioner, 

v. 

WILLIAM J. DALEY,

 Respondent.

No. 07-9574

ORDER

Before TACHA, BRISCOE, and TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judges.

Michael Buesgens seeks review of an October 1, 2007 letter that he received from

William Daley, Regional Counsel for the Fort Worth, Texas, Regional Office of the United

States Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”). The October 1, 2007

letter was sent in response to a September 26, 2007 letter from Petitioner Buesgens.

This court lacks authority to consider the petition for review. The October letter that

Petitioner received is nothing more than general correspondence sent by the Fort Worth,

Texas, Regional Counsel for HUD in response to Petitioner’s letter. Contrary to Petitioner’s

belief, Respondent’s October letter does not constitute a final order for which review may

be sought under 42 U.S.C. § 3612(i). Section 3612(i) of the Fair Housing Act authorizes

judicial review where the Secretary of HUD issues a charge of discrimination and where that

charge is adjudicated in an administrative proceeding before an administrative law judge.

Such did not occur in this case. The court lacks jurisdiction. 

The petition for review is DISMISSED for lack of appellate jurisdiction. All pending

motions are DENIED.
