This matter having come before the Honorable Jolie Russo on Receiver’s Request for 

Approval of Twenty-Fourth Interim Fee Application (the “Fee Application”) [Dkt. 992] and the 

Court, having given all counsel an opportunity to oppose the Fee Application, and being fully 

advised in the premises, now, therefore, 

THE COURT FINDS as follows: 

A. On March 10, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filed a

complaint in this Court against the five entity defendants and three individual defendants, Robert 

J. Jesenik, Brian A. Oliver, and N. Scott Gillis.

B. On March 16, 2016, pursuant to the Stipulated Interim Order Appointing

Receiver, the Receiver was appointed as receiver for the Receivership Entity1 on an interim 

basis. On April 14, 2016, pursuant to the Order Appointing Receiver, the Receiver was 

appointed as receiver of the Receivership Entity on a final basis. 

C. Due, timely, and adequate notice of the Fee Application was given, and such

notice was good, sufficient, and appropriate under the circumstances. No other or further notice 

of the Fee Application is or shall be required. 

D. The Court having reviewed the Fee Application, and having considered any

objections filed to the Fee Application, and it appearing that the relief sought in the Fee 

Application is in the best interest of the Receivership Entity and its estate, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED AND DECREED as follows. 

1. The Fee Application is approved in its entirety, and the Receiver is authorized to

immediately pay the interim fees and expenses described therein. 

2. All objections to the Fee Application that have not been withdrawn, waived,

settled, or expressly reserved pursuant to the terms of this Order are hereby overruled. 

1

 Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Order shall have the meanings ascribed 

to them in the Fee Application.
