in the circuit court of jackson county, missouri, at independence

129. At 9 a.m. the following morning on or about 10/16/02
Ed Higgins called, leaving a tape-recorded message on
Medical Supply’s answering system identifying him as the
executive vice president of Midwest trusts for US BANK.
130. SAMUEL LIPARI, believing that the USA Patriot Act had
probably been used to reject the escrow accounts because of
his family sir name which is also the name of a small group
of Islands in the Mediterranean Sea and which ends in “ari”
like many Moslem sir names of people of Arabic descent,
activated a tape recorder with a built in microphone and
called Mr. Higgins back on the speaker phone.
131. Each subsequent call to US BANK in which Samuel Lipari
participated was also recorded by him to document what he
suspected was discrimination based on his national origin
or ethnic descent. See Attachment 1 Transcript of
Recordings.
132. Ed Higgins listened to SAMUEL LIPARI after stating he
was an attorney and how long he had been working in trust
banking, agreed with him that he saw no reason why the USA
Patriot Act would apply to Medical Supply.
133. SAMUEL LIPARI explained that Medical Supply needed
additional US Bank services including credit facilities,
receivables financing and clearing and settlement services
