WHEREAS on February 26, 2009, defendant Robert C. Brown and relief defendant Duane 

Eddings were indicted by a Grand Jury in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

California for four counts of mail fraud [18 U.S.C. § 1341], eight counts of wire fraud [18 U.S.C. § 

1343] and 10 counts of engaging in monetary transactions over $10,000 in property derived from 

specified unlawful activity [18 U.S.C. § 1957]. The indictment alleges essentially the same 

misconduct alleged in plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“Commission”) complaint in 

this action. 

WHEREAS on September 23, 2009, the Commission filed a Case Management Statement, 

which, among other things, informed the Court that Brown and Eddings had been indicted, and 

suggested that the Court continue the Case Management Conference for an additional six months. 

WHEREAS on September 29, 2009, the Court continued the Case Management Conference 

until April 7, 2010; 

WHEREAS criminal defense counsel for Mr. Brown is in the process of negotiating a plea 

agreement with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California, and expects 

Mr. Brown to enter a change of plea in the criminal case on April 6, 2010, with sentencing to occur 

12 to 15 weeks later. 

THEREFORE, the Commission and Defendants stipulate and agree, and ask the Court to 

adopt as its order the following: 

The case management conference currently set for April 7, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. be continued 

until October 13, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. 

The parties’ joint case management conference statements shall be filed on or before October 

6, 2010. 

DATED: March 30, 2010 Respectfully Submitted,
