this Annual Report on Form 10-K of Household Finance Corporation (the Company),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Household International, Inc., as of December 31,
2003 (successor basis) and December 31, 2002 (predecessor basis) and for the
period January 1, 2003 through March 28, 2003 (predecessor basis), for the
period March 29, 2003 through December 31, 2003 (successor basis), and for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2002 (predecessor basis),
into the Company's previously filed Registration Statements No. 333-47945, No.
333-59453, No. 333-82119, No. 333-45740, No. 333-56152, No. 333-73746, No.

Our report dated March 1, 2004 contains an explanatory paragraph that states
effective March 28, 2003, HSBC Holdings plc acquired all of the outstanding
stock of Household International, Inc. in a business combination accounted for
as a purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the consolidated financial
information for the period after the acquisition is presented on a different
cost basis than that for the periods before the acquisition and, therefore, is
not comparable.

#### Fragante *v.*City and County of Honolulu et al.

C. A. 9th Cir. Certiorari denied.
#### nion State Bank v. George E. Hutton.

Filed October 16, 1901.

No. 10,030.

1. Verdict: Instructions. The jury are bound to give their verdict in obedience to the instructions of the court.

2. Instructions: Motion for New Trial: Assignment of Error: Law of the Case. An instruction, which is neither complained of in the motion for a new trial, nor assigned for error in this court, is the law of the case.

3. Estoppel: Ignorance of Beneficiary. In order to estop a party by mere silence, it must appear that the person claiming the benefit of the estoppel was ignorant of the rights of the party against whom the estoppel is alleged.

Error from the district court for Olay county. Tried below before Hastings, J.

*Affirmed.*

*Thomas H. Matters,*for plaintiff in error.

*John O. Stevens, contra.*

Sullivan, *.J.*

George E. Hutton, who was plaintiff below, alleged in his petition that he was the owner of a bay mare which the defendant, the Union State Bank, unlawfully seized and converted to its own use. The answer was a general denial coupled with a plea of estoppel by conduct amounting to an actual or constructive fraud. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff for the sum of $22.36, and judgment was rendered on the verdict. In the fourth instruction the court said to the jury that if George E. Hutton was the owner of the mare at the time she was taken from his possession by the agents of the bank, their verdict should be for the plaintiff. Of this instruction no complaint was made in the motion for a new *trial;*and it is not assigned for error here. Under these circumstances we have no authority to review it. Whether right or wrong, it is the .law of the case and the jury were bound to render their verdict in obedience to it. *Aultman v. Reams,*9 Nebr., *665487; *Omaha & R. V. R. Co. v. Hall,*33 Nebr., 229; *World Mutual Benefit Ass’n v. Worthing,*59 Nebr., 587. The evidence warranted the jury in finding that the plaintiff was in fact the owner of the mare. The verdict can not, therefore, be condemned while the instruction under which it was given stands unchallenged.

There is another reason why the judgment should be affirmed. On the question of estoppel the defendant had the burden of proof. It was required to show, among other things, that it altered its position — that it lost some advantage, incurred expense, paid out money, parted Avith property, assumed an obligation or did, or failed to do, some other act or thing by which it was prejudiced — in reliance upon plaintiff’s conduct and in ignorance of his rights. *Burke v. Utah Nat. Bank,*47 Nebr., 247; *State v. Bank of Commerce,*61 Nebr., 22; *Lingonner v. Ambler,*44 Nebr., 316; 11 Am. & Eng. Ency. Law [2d ed.], 436. It Avas shoAvn conclusively at the trial that before the bank sold the mare it was informed of Hutton’s claim, of ownership. When it obtained this information does not appear, but we find nothing in the record upon which to ground an inference that it was obtained after, rather than before, the right to plead an estoppel had arisen. The judgment is

Affirmed.
### §1857. Fences destroyed; livestock entering

Whoever knowingly and unlawfully breaks, opens, or destroys any gate, fence, hedge, or wall inclosing any lands of the United States reserved or purchased for any public use; or

Whoever drives any cattle, horses, hogs, or other livestock upon any such lands for the purposes of destroying the grass or trees on said lands, or where they may destroy the said grass or trees; or

Whoever knowingly permits his cattle, horses, hogs, or other livestock to enter through any such inclosure upon any such lands of the United States, where such cattle, horses, hogs, or other livestock may or can destroy the grass or trees or other property of the United States on the said lands—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

This section shall not apply to unreserved public lands.

(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 788; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(G), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

#### Historical and Revision Notes

Based on title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., §111 (Mar. 4, 1909, ch. 321, §56, 35 Stat. 1099).

Minor changes were made in phraseology.

#### **Editorial Notes**

#### Amendments

1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $500" in fourth par.

116TH CONGRESS 

1ST SESSION S. RES. 444 

Condemning the VH1 television show Cartel Crew. 

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES 

NOVEMBER 21, 2019 

Mr. KENNEDY submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 

Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation 

RESOLUTION 

Condemning the VH1 television show Cartel Crew. 

Whereas the VH1 television show Cartel Crew glorifies drug 

cartels and individuals who live in luxury as a result of 

the wealth that drug cartels corruptly amass; 

Whereas there is concern that youth across the United States 

may watch Cartel Crew and come to believe that crime 

is profitable; 

Whereas the words and deeds of the cast members of Cartel 

Crew suggest that those cast members have no interest 

in separating themselves from their illicit pasts; 

Whereas the relatives of the cast members of Cartel Crew are 

some of the worst criminals in history; 

Whereas the mother of Michael Blanco, Griselda Blanco, is 

better known as ‘‘Cocaine Godmother’’, a drug lord in 

the Medellin Cartel who was responsible for nearly 200

murders while transporting cocaine from Colombia to the 

United States in the 1990s and early 2000s; 

Whereas Michael Blanco defended his mother when asked 

about her crimes, saying that she ‘‘didn’t have a choice’’, 

due to the fact that she grew up poor; 

Whereas the newest addition to the cast of Cartel Crew, 

Emma Coronel Aispuro (referred to in this preamble as 

‘‘Aispuro’’), is the wife of Joaquı ́n Guzma ́n Loera (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘El Chapo’’); 

Whereas, as of the date of the adoption of this resolution, El 

Chapo is the single most dangerous individual alive, having created the Sinaloa Cartel and led it on its destructive path of trafficking drugs and individuals for decades; 

Whereas, since establishing his crime syndicate in the late 

1980s, El Chapo has been responsible for the deaths of 

hundreds of thousands of individuals, through both direct 

violence and the devastating impact of drug addiction; 

Whereas, at one point, El Chapo was on the Ten Most Wanted Fugitive List published by the Federal Bureau of Investigation; 

Whereas Aispuro— 

(1) helped El Chapo escape from a Mexican prison; 

and 

(2) was under investigation in the United States as 

recently as April 2019; and 

Whereas Aispuro clearly intends to profit from the notoriety 

her cartel connections afford her, as she is developing a 

clothing line called ‘‘El Chapo Guzman’’: Now, therefore, 

be it 

1 Resolved, That the Senate urges VH1—

•SRES 444 IS 

1 (1) to cancel Cartel Crew; 

2 (2) to reconsider its standards when developing 

3 television shows so that victims of cartel bloodshed 

4 and destruction are not further harmed; and 

5 (3) to be a better steward of public media by 

6 refusing to spread the erroneous message that crime 

7 is profitable.

Summary: AS-IA Employee Misused Charge Card and Received 

Improper Cash Payments 

Report Date: August 5, 2020 Report Number: 17-0844 

The OIG investigated an allegation that an employee with the Office of the Assistant Secretary 

for Indian Affairs (AS-IA) may have improperly used entities that he owned or had a financial 

interest in to perform work at the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI). 

We found that the employee was involved in choosing two unregistered entities with whom he or 

other DOI staff had personal relationships and repeatedly paid them with a charge card, rather than 

establish a contract as required. The employee violated DOI policy and Federal regulations by 

misusing his Government charge card; asking for and receiving cash from the entities while they 

performed work for the DOI; issuing numerous payments to the entities with no supporting 

documentation; and submitting altered invoices during an internal charge card review as support for 

payments he made. We also found the employee personally received funds from the DOI for a 

private group he operated, and he did not file a financial disclosure as required by his position. 

The U.S. Department of Justice declined prosecution and the employee was removed from Federal 

service. 

This is a summary of an investigative report we issued to the Assistant Secretary for Indian 

Affairs.
