What is the purpose of the status conference and who is presiding?

Brian Schneider 0:00
So let's do that and we'll go on the record. This is the time step for the status conference in the matter of John Mark Richardson et al. Socket number S-21379A-25-0260. I'm an administrative law judge Brian Schneider. I'll be presiding over this matter today. You may hear in the background my dogs. I apologize. We'll start by taking appearances for the record and we'll start
Kathryn Fuller 0:29
with you Ms. Fuller. ELLIE WILSON- Good morning Your Honor. Kathryn Fuller with the Securities Division.
Brian Schneider 0:36
DIRECTOR DEWOLF- Good morning. And Mr. Baskin. ALAN BASKIN.
Alan Baskin 0:41
Hi.

How are the parties’ appearances recorded and who represents each side?

Alan Baskin 0:41
Alan Baskin for the respondents.
Brian Schneider 0:44
DIRECTOR DEWOLF- Good morning. All right. We are here to find out what to do next. Ms. Fuller if that were in your court and you called the shots how would you like this to go.
Kathryn Fuller 0:58
Your Honor, well, I believe that Mr. Baskin filed a request for a hearing at this point. So we'd ask that it be set for a hearing.
Brian Schneider 1:12
Okay. Do you have an approximate idea about how many days you'd want the hearing set for?
Kathryn Fuller 1:21
Your Honor, I would anticipate that it would be no more than five days of a hearing.
Brian Schneider 1:29
All right. Mr. Baskin, what say you?
Alan Baskin 1:36
I agree. Yes, we have asked for a hearing.

Why did the respondents request a hearing and how many days were proposed?

Alan Baskin 1:40
Your Honor, you might not have heard of it, but there's this whole big jury trial issue that's out there. At this point, given that we're waiting on these rulings and given the timing of this case, we've asked for a jury trial in our in our request for a hearing, I'm just mentioning it to give you the heads up that Ms. Fuller and I had a good conversation, I think before the new year about the case and the issues. And I'm just giving you the heads up that in anticipation of there being a hearing set later in the year, At this point, we're not going to press the jury trial issue because we're hoping there's some resolution. I'm saying that not waiving the right to assert it, but I don't think you need more motions on this.
Alan Baskin 2:33
So that's probably more of an answer than what you wanted, and Catherine will obviously correct me if she disagrees with anything I've said about our call. So very long-winded way of saying you know, just ask you to get the hearing set and, um, you know, we'll obviously see what happens over the coming months.
Brian Schneider 2:56
Perfect. Thank you. And I do very much appreciate hearing that. Um, okay. So, um, we're kind of at the point now where I'm going to have to multitask and we're going to look for a hearing date. Um, I heard you say towards the end of the year, which would be by default anyway. Oh, it looks like I'm missing actually the five day or so. Maybe I could. I'm going to go off the record for a second.

What scheduling options were discussed for the hearing date?

Brian Schneider 3:25
Save the court reporter. Insanity. Thank you.
Brian Schneider 3:43
These are all OK. Well we're off the record so I'm just going to kind of pop it through. It looks like we could try to squeeze one in the beginning of May. First week of May if that were to sooner than you anticipated. First
Alan Baskin 4:09
week
Brian Schneider 4:10
of June. Second week of June. Go ahead, sir. We're off the record.
Alan Baskin 4:16
I'm sorry. I was thinking like fall or later. Ms. Fuller, is that
Brian Schneider 4:23
what you were thinking too?
Kathryn Fuller 4:26
No, Your Honor. With the comments that Mr. Baskin put on the record earlier, uh mr baskin and i did have a conversation the end of the year and the possibility of resolving the matter is always a possibility and we will mr baskin i think i will follow up with you just to make sure coming from a criminal background uh if we're gonna settle i'd prefer to do that uh sooner and then uh use my resources on behalf of the division to um prepare if that's not the case so with that being said though uh i i i would prefer not to push it out and if you do have um a pocket where we could fit it in that would be wonderful uh but again for the record one week of time and the first week of may i would say would maybe not be ideal in the event that um another hearing that mr basket and i and and uh
Kathryn Fuller 5:28
you, Your Honor, are all involved with would be that week prior, but
Brian Schneider 5:32
obviously,
Kathryn Fuller 5:34
yeah, there's obviously a lot of moving parts, but just with that being the case, I think, you know, whenever your next pocket of availability is, we would ask for that setting.
Alan Baskin 5:50
And again, and this, just to be clear, I
