          him a liar, harassed him in other ways, belittled him, derided              
          him, and threatened him.                                                    
               When asked, the board refused to turn over to petitioner any           
          financial information related to the maintenance of the balconies           
          in Phase II.  According to petitioner, "the harassment became so            
          bad that in September of 1996, I filed an action pro se against             
          the homeowners association."  According to petitioner, the suit,            
          filed in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of            
          California, was "in direct response to the extensive harassment             
          and retaliation that I and my family had incurred as a result of            
          my inquiries."                                                              
               Information petitioner obtained in the Federal District                
          Court action convinced him that the association had mishandled              
          the finances of PV homeowners.  To follow up on his suspicions,             
          petitioner obtained to assist him a lawyer who specializes in               
          real estate law.  Petitioner wanted the lawyer to go "after the             
          homeowners association for a full accounting of their finances,             
          and also related to the CC&Rs."                                             
               Petitioner's real estate attorney caused the Federal suit to           
          be dismissed without prejudice.  In late 1997 petitioner pursued            
          alternative dispute resolution under California law.  Petitioner            
          filed suit for declaratory relief in State court when the                   
          association refused to participate in mediation.  The suit in               
          State court asked for nullification of the "new" CC&Rs, a stop to
