ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS AGAINST CONSOLIDATED INVESTMENT SERVICES, INC., NORMAN ROUNDS AND JAMES FAINTER

Administrative Law Judge Glenn Robert Lawrence imposed sanctions on a broker-dealer and two of its principals in the matter of Consolidated Investment Services, Inc., Norman P. Rounds and James L. Fainter

(Administrative Proceeding 3-8312). Judge Lawrence found tha. Consolidated Investment services, Inc. (CIS), a registered broker- . dealer based in Colorado, employed a registered representative named Theodore McCormick as an independent representative operating a one-man office in El Paso, Texas. During the time the respondents were responsible for supervising McCormick, the judge found McCormick engagedin a Ponzi scheme which defrauded investors of $2.3 million and violated the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. Based on a lack of adequate supervisory procedures and practices, and given the numerous red flags which apparently could have been detected duringMcCormick's employment, Judge Lawrence concluded that James Fainter,Norman Rounds and their firm, CIS, failed to reasonably superviseMcCormick under section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. (Initial Decision Rel. 59)

COMMISSION LETTER SUBMITTED TO DISTRICT COURT ON INADEQUACY OF CLASS ACTIONCOMPLAINT

Pursuant to Commission authorization, a letter from the General Counsel of the Commission to the defendants in Frank v. Cooper Industries, Inc.,Civil Action No. H-94-0280 (S.D. Tex.) has been submitted to the district court in connection with the defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. Plaintiffs in this class action lawsuit allege that defendants committed securities fraud in violation of commission Rule 10b-5. The letter expressed the Commission's views that the complaint as formulated did not adequately plead such essentia matters as the nature and extent of the negative information t~ defendants were alleged to have failed to disclose or the time when the alleged negative events occurred. The commission concluded that, while it took no position on the underlying facts of the case or on whether any fraud may have occurred, a complaint that is as vague and unenlightening as the one in this action, as presently stated, is not,in the Commission's view adequately pleaded and that it is not in the best interest of investors to allow an action based on this complaintto proceed.

The letter is the first instance in which the Commission has acted pursuant to a newly established aspect of its amicus curiae participation in private litigation -- participation in order to assist the courts in dealing with problems that arise primarily at the district court level in class actions and other cases under the securities laws. [Frank V. Cooper Industries, Inc., Civil Action No. H-94-0280, S.D. Tex.] (LR-14356)

to the investors of working interests in wells drilled by Blackford Energy Company in Montana. On October 17, Thomas T. Cherry, a co-defendant, was enj oined from further violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws.

All defendants consented to the injunctions and other relief without admitting or denying the allegations contained in the Commission's complaint. As to all three defendants, disgorgement was ordered but payment of disgorgement waived based upon a demonstrated inability to pay. Likewise, although the appropriateness of civil penalties was noted, such penalties were not imposed based upon the defendants' financial condition. [SEC v.
