Appeals from the United States District Court
for the Central District of California
David O. Carter, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted September 26, 2016**
Before: D.W. NELSON, GRABER, and WATFORD, Circuit Judges.
Defendants appeal the district court’s order granting summary judgment on
the Securities and Exchange Commission’s securities fraud claims. We affirm the
district court’s order because defendants have failed to demonstrate a genuine
dispute as to any material fact in this case. We also find that the district court acted
within its discretion by ordering disgorgement of the ill-gotten gains.
AFFIRMED.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
