          officer and shareholder of CSM, and Ahmed forged Elkholy’s                  
          signature on CSM’s articles of incorporation.                               
               Ahmed also forged Elkholy’s signature and used Elkholy’s               
          name on other CSM documents in order to obtain for CSM a Medi-Cal           
          provider number and an employee ID number, to obtain credit from            
          vendors, to file corporate Federal income tax returns, and to               
          open bank accounts.                                                         
               From the summer of 1996 through April of 1998, Elkholy,                
          without being made aware of his nominal “ownership” interest in             
          CSM, provided certain consulting services to CSM for which he               
          received from CSM payments of $2,000 a month.                               
               In September of 1996, Ahmed opened another pharmacy under              
          the K & M name as a “closed-door” pharmacy in the same                      
          neighborhood as Ahmed’s other pharmacies and as the CSM medical             
          clinic.  This third pharmacy did not have walk-in customers or              
          regular business hours.  Instead, this pharmacy operated as an              
          overflow pharmacy for the other two pharmacies.                             
               Whenever the other pharmacies had a backlog of prescriptions           
          to fill, Ahmed would contact an on-call pharmacist who would come           
          into the closed-door pharmacy and fill the prescriptions which              
          the other pharmacies were not able to fill.
