Item 1: | The Rockies Fund, Inc. Office: Office of the General Counsel Staff: Joan McCarthy and Diane V. White |
The Commission will hear oral argument on an appeal by The Rockies Fund, Inc., a closed-end investment company, and its directors Stephen Calandrella, Charles Powell, and Clifford Thygesen (collectively "Respondents"). The matter is on remand to the Commission from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The Court of Appeals affirmed the Commission's findings that Respondents violated antifraud provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by filing quarterly and annual reports containing material misrepresentations between June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1995; that the Fund violated provisions of the Exchange Act and Calandrella, Powell, and Thygesen aided and abetted and were a cause of reporting violations by filing reports that were not in compliance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and that contained material misrepresentations. The Court of Appeals directed the Commission on remand to reconsider the sanctions in light of its determination to vacate some of the violations found by the Commission.
Among the issues likely to be argued are:
