In the Matter of Rev. Father Emmanuel Lemelson

NCLA asks SEC to dismiss its three-year-old administrative enforcement proceeding against the Reverend Father Emmanuel Lemelson, a Greek Orthodox priest and activist investor. The proceeding has been irreparably tainted by the recent filing of an unauthorized, ultra vires federal lawsuit purportedly on behalf of SEC, along with a recently disclosed SEC internal control failure that further tainted the proceeding. These irregularities, which are just the latest twists in the Commission’s longstanding and public adversarial relationship with Fr. Lemelson, negate any plausible appearance that the Commission can now fairly and impartially adjudicate its related administrative enforcement prosecution against him.
