THOMAS K. KAHN
CLERK
D. C. Docket No. 03-80612-CV-KAM
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Intervenor-Plaintiff
versus
MICHAEL LAUER,
Defendant-Appellant,
LANCER MANAGEMENT GROUP, LLC,
et al.,
Defendants.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
(September 5, 2007)
Before DUBINA and MARCUS, Circuit Judges, and COOGLER,* District Judge.
PER CURIAM:
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) brought an action
against Michael Lauer to obtain relief from his alleged violation of certain anti-
fraud provisions of federal securities laws. This interlocutory appeal arises from
the district court’s imposition of sanctions against Lauer for his failure to comply
with his discovery obligations in the underlying case.
After reviewing the record, reading the parties’ briefs, and having the
benefit of oral argument, we affirm the district court’s imposition of sanctions
based upon its well-reasoned orders imposing sanctions filed on January 24, 2006,
and March 14, 2006.
We do observe, however, that subject matter jurisdiction can be raised by
any party at any time.
AFFIRMED.
