1   PER CURIAM  (on motion for reconsideration).   Plaintiff-Appellant Donald Rumage moves for reconsideration of our decision in Rumage v. Gullberg, 2000 WI 53, 235 Wis. 2d 279, 611 N.W.2d 458, on grounds that the court overlooked a controlling fact appearing in the record.  Rumage argues that Reinier Kemeling sold his residential property in a voluntary private sale, during a mortgage foreclosure redemption period, in contemplation of an imminent sheriff's sale.  He argues that a sale under these circumstances was a sale under "compulsion," not an arms-length transaction under no compulsion that produces fair market value. 

2   After careful consideration, we conclude that appellant's argument is without merit in this case.  In ¶ 45 of the court's opinion we state:  "Judge Simanek found no evidence of collusion or fraud between Kemeling and Burmeister."  This sentence is herewith amended to read:  "Judge Simanek found no evidence of compulsion, collusion or fraud between Kemeling and Burmeister."  The record does not demonstrate that the circuit court's finding was clearly erroneous.

3   The motion for reconsideration is denied without costs.
