I.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Defendant and
Defendant’s agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and all persons in active concert or
4
participation with them who receive actual notice of this Final Judgment by personal service or
5
6
otherwise are permanently restrained and enjoined from violating Rule 13b2-1 of the Securities
7
Exchange Act (the “Exchange Act”) [17 C.F.R. § 240.13b2-1] by, directly or indirectly, falsifying
8
or causing to be falsified, any book, record or account subject to Section 13(b)(2)(A) of the
9
Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78m(b)(2)(A)].

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that Defendant
is liable for disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $75,000.00, representing profits gained as a
result of the conduct alleged in the amended complaint and prejudgment interest thereon, and a
16
civil penalty in the amount of $25,000.00 pursuant to Section 21(d) of the Exchange Act.
17
18
Defendant shall satisfy this obligation by paying $100,000.00 within 14 days after entry of this
19
Final Judgment to the Clerk of this Court, together with a cover letter identifying Defendant's
20
name as a defendant in this action; setting forth the title and civil action number of this action and
21
the name of this Court; and specifying that payment is made pursuant to this Final Judgment.
22
Defendant shall simultaneously transmit photocopies of such payment and letter to the
23
Commission’s counsel in this action. By making the foregoing payments, Defendant relinquishes
24
25
26
27
all legal and equitable right, title, and interest in such funds, and no part of the funds shall be
returned to Defendant. Defendant shall pay post-judgment interest on any delinquent amounts
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1961.

FINAL JUDGMENT AS TO
DEFENDANT PAUL A. SALLABERRY
SEC v. Leslie, et al., Case No. C 07-3444 JF

The Clerk shall deposit the funds into an interest bearing account with the Court Registry
Investment System ("CRIS") or any other type of interest bearing account that is utilized by the
Court. These funds, together with any interest and income earned thereon (collectively, the
4
“Fund”), shall be held in the interest bearing account until further order of the Court. In
5
6
accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1914 and the guidelines set by the Director of the Administrative
7
Office of the United States Courts, the Clerk is directed, without further order of this Court, to
8
deduct from the income earned on the money in the Fund a fee equal to ten percent of the income
9
earned on the Fund. Such fee shall not exceed that authorized by the Judicial Conference of the
10
11
United States.
The Commission may by motion propose a plan to distribute the Fund subject to the
12
13
14
Court’s approval. Such a plan may provide that the Fund shall be distributed pursuant to the Fair
Fund provisions of Section 308(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Regardless of whether any
15
such Fair Fund distribution is made, amounts ordered to be paid as civil penalties pursuant to this
16
Judgment shall be treated as penalties paid to the government for all purposes, including all tax
17
purposes. To preserve the deterrent effect of the civil penalty, Defendant shall not, after offset or
18
reduction of any award of compensatory damages in any Related Investor Action based on
19
Defendant’s payment of disgorgement in this action, argue that he is entitled to, nor shall he
20
21
further benefit by, offset or reduction of such compensatory damages award by the amount of any
22
part of Defendant’s payment of a civil penalty in this action ("Penalty Offset"). If the court in any
23
Related Investor Action grants such a Penalty Offset, Defendant shall, within 30 days after entry
24
of a final order granting the Penalty Offset, notify the Commission's counsel in this action and
25
pay the amount of the Penalty Offset to the United States Treasury or to a Fair Fund, as the
26
Commission directs. Such a payment shall not be deemed an additional civil penalty and shall
27
not be deemed to change the amount of the civil penalty imposed in this Judgment. For purposes

DEFENDANT PAUL A. SALLABERRY

of this paragraph, a "Related Investor Action" means a private damages action brought against
2
Defendant by or on behalf of one or more investors based on substantially the same facts as
3
alleged in the amended complaint in this action.

shall comply with all of the undertakings and agreements set forth therein.
