ITEM 5. Other Events.
On December 7, 2000, a legal action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, entitled Eric Potteiger v. La Quinta Inns, Inc. and The Meditrust Companies (Civ. Action No. 00-D-2456). We were named as defendants in the complaint. The Plaintiff sought to recover the maximum statutory amount for injuries he allegedly sustained in October 2000 as a result of carbon monoxide exposure which he experienced while he was a guest at a La Quinta Inn & Suites. On November 14, 2003, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement that resolved all disputed matters.
