C.F.R. §§ 201.151(a), 201.160(b), 201.220(b).

5 Because service was accomplished through serving the Nevada Secretary of State, a copy

of the OIP was also thereafter mailed, by registered mail, to Respondent’s last known address. 

See Nev. Rev. Stat. § 14.030(1), (4). The statute provides that Respondent has 40 days from the 

date of the mailing to participate in the proceeding. Nev. Rev. Stat. § 14.030(4). According to 
2

Accordingly, Respondent is ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE by April 29, 2024 why the 

registration of its securities should not be revoked by default due to its failure to file an answer or

otherwise to defend this proceeding. Respondent’s submission shall address the reasons for its 

failure to timely file an answer and include a proposed answer to be accepted in the event that the 

Commission does not enter a default against Respondent. When a party defaults, the allegations 

in the OIP will be deemed to be true and the Commission may determine the proceeding against 

that party upon consideration of the record without holding a public hearing. 

If Respondent fails to respond to this order to show cause, it may be deemed in default, 

the proceeding may be determined against it, and the registration of its securities may be 

revoked.6 Upon review of the filings in response to this order, the Commission will either direct 

further proceedings by subsequent order or issue a final order resolving the matter.

The parties’ attention is directed to the e-filing requirements in the Rules of Practice.

We also remind the parties that any document filed with the Commission must be served upon all 

participants in the proceeding and be accompanied by a certificate of service.8

For the Commission, by the Office of the General Counsel, pursuant to delegated 

authority.
