BEFORE THE IOWA CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION

VINCENT LEWIS, Complainant, and IOWA CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION,

vs.

HURL KNIGHT, Respondent.

DECISION AND ORDER

IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that:

A. The Complainant Vincent Lewis and the Iowa Civil Rights Commission have failed to prove, by the greater weight of the evidence, Complainant Lewis's allegations that Respondent Hurl Knight either rejected Lewis's offer to buy a property (a house) due to Lewis's race or compelled or coerced another to reject his offer because of his race.

B. Therefore, this complaint is DISMISSED. Signed this the 18th day of November 1993.
