Re: No loopholes in Dodd-Frank

1) Securities and Exchange Commission/Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Re: Commercial Risk (CFTC RIN

3235-AK65, SEC File Number $7-12-10)

Dear Commissioners Shapiro and Gensler: Don’t let the American Bankers Association (ABA) redefine important terms like

"commercial risk" to keep banks that engage in risky derivatives trading from complying with transparency and business

conduct requirements. Commercial risk should not be expanded to include financial risk. Accepting the ABA argument

would open the door for exemptions for risky hedge funds and insurance companies.

2) Commodities Futures Trading Commission, Re: Position Limits (RIN 3038-AD 17 )

Dear Commissioner Gensler: The CFTC needs to set strong position limits to crack down on the energy and food commodity

speculation that serves no productive purpose. I urge the Commission to define limits that will address not only manipulation,

but also excessive speculation, which will require a stricter approach.

3) U.S. Department of the Treasury, Re: FX Swaps (75 FR 66426 Document Number 2010-27274)

Dear Secretary Geitlmer: Just say "no" to foreign exchange traders who want to exempt foreign currency derivatives from the

clearing and transparency requirements of the

Dodd-Frank Act. $4 trillion dollars a day is traded in these highly-leveraged swaps and this number may increase to over $10

trillion in a decade. As the head of the Financial

Stability Oversight Board your job is to decrease risk in the system, not encourage off-book trading and opaque markets.

 Mr. Guthrie (for himself, Mr. Rogers of Kentucky, Mr. Whitfield, Mr.

following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION

 
  Recognizing the efforts of the countless volunteers who helped the 
  Commonwealth of Kentucky recover from the ice storm of January 2009.

Whereas the Commonwealth of Kentucky suffered a devastating ice storm on January 
        26, 2009, that left more than 700,000 homes and businesses without 
        electricity;
Whereas the ice storm is considered the worst natural disaster in Kentucky 
        history;
Whereas State and local officials acted quickly to coordinate relief efforts and 
        enlisted volunteer agencies, faith-based groups, and community 
        organizations;
Whereas volunteers from 25 organizations in 15 States came to the Commonwealth 
        of Kentucky to provide help and support to those affected by the ice 
        storm;
Whereas volunteers operated 192 shelters for victims of the ice storm, providing 
        7,884 Kentuckians with shelter, food, and water;
Whereas more than 378,160 meals and snacks were provided to victims of the ice 
        storm by volunteers;
Whereas these volunteers played a key role in Kentucky's recovery efforts and 
        gave their valuable time and resources to offer support;
Whereas 4,600 members of the Kentucky National Guard were activated to assist 
        the citizens of the Commonwealth; and
Whereas the resolve, courage, and determination shown by the citizens of the 
        Commonwealth was commendable: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the efforts 
of the countless volunteers who helped the Commonwealth of Kentucky 
recover from the ice storm of January 2009.

Amendment One to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Executive Deferred Compensation Plan


The Hewlett Packard Enterprise Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), originally effective as of November 1, 2015, is hereby amended, effective as of January 1, 2018, as follows:


		
	1.
	Section 4.2 of the Plan shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:


“4.2    Crediting of HPE Matching Contributions.  HPE Matching Contributions for a Plan Year shall be credited to the Accounts of Match Eligible Employees as soon as administratively practicable after the end of the Plan Year.  The Account of a Participant shall be credited with HPE Matching Contributions for a Plan Year only if such Participant has not terminated employment with HPE and its Affiliates prior to the end of the Plan Year, unless such termination is due to death, disability (for the avoidance of doubt, disability status is determined by reference to eligibility for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability benefits program) or is after Participant’s Retirement Date.


		
	2.
	Section 4.3(a)(ii) of the Plan shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:




“(ii)    For Participants not described in Section 4.3(a)(i) above, the Participant will be vested in HPE Matching Contributions credited to such Participant’s Account when such Participant would be vested in HPE Matching Contributions credited to his or her account under the Hewlett Packard Enterprise 401(k) Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant will be fully vested in HPE Matching Contributions credited to his or her Account if the Participant’s employment with HPE and its Affiliates is terminated (A) due to death or disability (for the avoidance of doubt, disability status is determined by reference to eligibility for benefits under the Company’s long-term disability benefits program), (B) after the Participant has reached his or her Retirement Date, or (C) if the Participant terminates employment from HPE or an Affiliate in connection with a sale or other disposition by HPE or the Affiliate of the business unit in which the Participant had been employed.”


		
	3.
	Except as otherwise provided in this Amendment One, all other terms and conditions of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 08-8260

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee,

v. MAURICE PICKENS, Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence. Terry L. Wooten, District Judge. (4:04-cr-00477-TLW-1; 4:07-cv-70006-TLW)

Submitted: April 20, 2009 Decided: April 30, 2009

Before NIEMEYER and KING, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Maurice Pickens, Appellant Pro Se. Alfred William Walker Bethea, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.2 PER CURIAM: Maurice Pickens seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2008) motion. The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1) (2006). A certificate of appealability will not issue absent “a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right.” 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(2) (2006). A prisoner satisfies this standard by demonstrating that reasonable jurists would find that any assessment of the constitutional claims by the district court is debatable or wrong and that any dispositive procedural ruling by the district

court is likewise debatable. Miller-El v. Cockrell , 537 U.S. 322, 336-38 (2003); Slack v. McDaniel , 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000);

Rose v. Lee , 252 F.3d 676, 683-84 (4th Cir. 2001). We have independently reviewed the record and conclude that Pickens has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
