UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. ELLIS (2020)

Thomas G. Ellis, Thomas H. Vetter, and Charel Winston appeal the district court's order granting summary judgment to the Securities and Exchange Commission in its civil enforcement action and ordering disgorgement of all ill-gotten funds.^* We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Sec. & Exch. Comm'n v. North Star Fin., LLC, No. 8:15-cv-01339-GJH (D. Md. Aug. 16, 2019). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

FOOTNOTES

FOOTNOTE.   Although North Star Finance, LLC, and Goodwill Funding Inc. were listed on the notice of appeal, those entities are not permitted to proceed pro se on appeal. As neither entity is represented by counsel in this court, we have not considered any claim as to them.
