The Board of Trustees  Saturna Investment Trust  Bellingham, Washington  In planning and performing our audits of the financial statements of BondIncome  Fund, Short Term Bond Fund, Growth Fund, International Fund and Idaho TaxExempt  Fund, each a series of the Saturna Investment Trust, for the year endedNovember  30, 2003, we considered their internal control, including control activities  for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for  the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and tocomply  with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internalcontrol.  The management of the Funds is responsible for establishing and maintaining  internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments  by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs  of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the  entity’s objective of preparing financial statements for externalpurposes  that are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally  accepted in the United States of America. Those controls include thesafeguarding  of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition.  Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, errors or fraud may  occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the internal  control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate  because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and  operation may deteriorate.  Our consideration of the internal control would not necessarily disclose all  matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards  established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Amaterial  weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the  internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk  that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material  in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not bedetected  within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their  assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control  and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that weconsider  to be material weaknesses, as defined above, as of November 30, 2003.  This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and  the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be and should  not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 06-7845

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus WILLIAM ARTHUR BROWN, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Senior District Judge. (3:92-cr-00270-1; 3:04-cv-00594) Submitted: January 25, 2007 Decided: February 1, 2007 Before WIDENER and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. William Arthur Brown, Appellant Pro Se. Amy Elizabeth Ray, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.- 2 - PER CURIAM: William Arthur Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. The order is not appealable unless a circuit justice or judge issues a certificate of appealability. 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1) (2000). 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) (2000). 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 Brown has not made the requisite showing. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and di smiss 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.

DISMISSED
#### In re BURRELL et al. Appeal of VARICK BANK et al.

(Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

May 7, 1903.)

No. 174.

1. Acts of Bankruptcy—Consent to Receivership.

Under Bankr. Act July 1, 1898, 30 Stat. 546, 547, c. 541, § 3a [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 3422] declaring that acts of bankruptcy shall" consist of the bankrupts’ having conveyed, transferred, concealed, or removed or permitted to be removed any part of their property with intent to hinder, delay, or defraud their creditors, or any of them,, the fact that the members of a firm consented to the appointment of a receiver of their assets, prior to the amendment of the act of 1898 by Act of Cong. 1903, declaring that the application for a receiver shall constitute an act of bankruptcy, did not render the members of such firm liable to adjudication as involuntary bankrupts.

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.

For opinion below, see 119 Fed. 991.

This is an appeal from a decision of the District Court, Southern District of New York, adjudging that the appellees are not involuntary bankrupts, and dismissing the involuntary petition in bankruptcy herein. Three alleged acts of bankruptcy are set forth in the petition. As to two of them the facts averred are not made out by the proofs. The third charge is that, while insolvent, and within the statutory four months, an action was instituted by one partner against the other, in which, upon the application of the one and the consent of the other, a receiver was appointed, all “with intent to hinder, delay, and defraud their creditors.”

*415F. M. Czaki, for appellants.

W. J. Barr, for appellees.

Before WALLACE, .LACOMBE, and TOWNSEND, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

This proceeding was begun under the bankrupt act of 1898 as it stood before amendment, and the clause of section 3a, Act July 1, 1898, 30 Stat. 546, 547, c. 541 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 3422] relied upon reads: “Acts of bankruptcy by a person shall consist of his having (1) conveyed, transferred, concealed, or removed, or permitted to be concealed or removed, any part of his property with intent to hinder, delay, or defraud his creditors, or any of them.” The section also contained a clause enumerating, as an act of bankruptcy, the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors. It did not provide for receiverships. Since then the act has been amended by the act of 1903, and the specific case provided for in these words: “Or, being insolvent, applied for a receiver or trustee for his property or because of insolvency a receiver or trustee has been put in charge of his property under the laws of a state, of a territory, or of the United States.”

Inasmuch as the disposition of future cases involving the question raised here has been thus settled by Congress, it seems unnecessary to set forth at length the reasons which have induced us to concur with the District Judge.

The decree is affirmed with costs.

108TH CONGRESS 

1ST SESSION H. RES. 264

Expressing sympathy for the victims of the devastating earthquake that 

struck Algeria on May 21, 2003. 

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 

JUNE 10, 2003

Mr. LANTOS (for himself, Mr. PENCE, Mr. PITTS, Mr. PAYNE, Mr. 

MCDERMOTT, Mr. BERMAN, Mr. MCGOVERN, Mr. BELL, Mrs. 

NAPOLITANO, Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts, Mr. WEXLER, Mrs. 

TAUSCHER, Mr. PALLONE, and Ms. MCCOLLUM) submitted the following 

resolution; which was referred to the Committee on International Relations 

RESOLUTION

Expressing sympathy for the victims of the devastating 

earthquake that struck Algeria on May 21, 2003.

Whereas, on the evening of May 21, 2003, a devastating and 

deadly earthquake of a magnitude of 6.8 on the Richter 

scale with a depth of 6 miles struck northern Algeria, 

killing more than 2,260 people, injuring more than 

10,000, and leaving more than 200,000 homeless; 

Whereas the earthquake of May 21, 2003, has left thousands 

of buildings in ruins and has severely disrupted health 

services, water supply lines, electricity, and telecommunications in Algeria and affected cities; 
2

•HRES 264 IH 

Whereas severe aftershocks with magnitudes greater than 4.0 

have continued to terrify the people of Algeria and hamper rescue efforts; 

Whereas the strength, courage, and determination of the 

Government and people of Algeria has been displayed 

since the earthquake; 

Whereas the people of the United States and Algeria share 

strong friendship and mutual respect; 

Whereas the United States airlifted to the earthquake-affected population 17,000 blankets, 1800 tents, electrical 

equipment, water purification kits, and 3 medical supply 

kits that will benefit 10,000 people over 3 months; 

Whereas the United States has released $50,000 to the Algerian Red Crescent Society for emergency relief supplies; 

and 

Whereas the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) 

launched an emergency appeal for humanitarian and relief assistance to address the devastation caused by the 

powerful earthquake: Now, therefore, be it

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives—

2 (1) expresses its deepest sympathies to the peo3 ple of Algeria and particularly to the families of the 

4 victims and the survivors for the tragic losses suf5 fered as a result of the earthquake of May 21, 2003; 

6 (2) expresses its support for the people and to 

7 the Government of Algeria as they continue their ef8 forts to rebuild their cities and their lives; 
3

•HRES 264 IH 

1 (3) expresses support for humanitarian assist2 ance provided by the United States Agency for 

3 International Development and other American and 

4 international relief organizations; 

5 (4) recognizes the important role that is being 

6 played by the United States and the international 

7 community in providing assistance to alleviate the 

8 suffering of the people of Algeria; and 

9 (5) encourages a continued commitment by the 

10 United States and other countries and international 

11 organizations to the rebuilding of the earthquake-af12 fected areas in Algeria.

#### UNITED STATES v. RHOADES (ALLEN, Third-Party Defendant).

Civ. A. No. 4185.

United States District Court D. Colorado.

July 3, 1953.

Joseph E. Babka, Attorney for Office of Housing Expediter, St. Louis, Mo. (Tom R. R. Ely, St. Louis, Mo., of counsel), for plantiff.

William Alan Bryans, Denver, Colo., for defendant and third-party plaintiff.

KNOUS, District Judge.

The original defendant herein as third-party plaintiff has requested an order authorizing service of summons on the third-party defendant in the County of Lake in the State of Indiana.

Such application asse'rtedly is based upon Section 206 of the Housing and Rent Act of 1947, as amended, 50 U.S.C.A.Appendix, § 1896, which in certain circumstances permits the service of summons on an *original*defendant in an action brought thereunder in any district wherein defendant resides or transacts business or wherein defendant may be found. However, no mentiorb whatsoever is made in the Act concerning/ the service of process ■ on third-party defendants. J

Since no service outside a state can lawfully be authorized unless the situ*374ation clearly is within the terms of a Federal statute, the Court is of the opinion that the provisions of Section 206, supra, properly may not be expanded by construction to include an order for service on a third-party defendant.

As read by the Court, the decisions cited by applicant offer no support to her contention. United States v. Rockhill, D.C., 9 F.R.D., 696, 697, has to do with questions of service on an *original*defendant; Creedon v. Wilson, D.C., 10 F.R.D. 488, pertains to the propriety of joinder of parties plaintiff, and Eastman Kodak Co. v. Southern Photo Co., etc., 273 U.S. 359, 47 S.Ct. 400, 71 L.Ed. 684, relates to a question of venue under Section 12 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 22.

Accordingly, defendant’s request for an order for service as prayed for is denied.
