PLAINTIFF’S NOTICE OF VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE OF
ITS DISGORGEMENT CLAIMS AGAINST RELIEF DEFENDANTS
Plaintiff Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1), Fed.R.Civ.P.,
voluntarily dismisses its claims for disgorgement against the relief defendants: Scoop Real
Estate, L.P., Valhalla Investment Partners, L.P., Valhalla Management, Inc., Victory Ira Fund,
Ltd., Victory Fund, Ltd., Viking Ira Fund, LLC, Viking Fund, LLC, and Viking Management
(collectively, “the Relief Defendants”). Since the Court-appointed Receiver controls the Relief
Defendants and has been marshaling and distributing their assets for the benefit of victimized
investors, dismissing the Commission’s claims is appropriate at this time.
WHEREFORE for the foregoing reasons, the Commission respectfully requests the Court
enter an order dismissing with prejudice the Commission’s claims for disgorgement against the
Relief Defendants.
Date: January 30, 2013.
Respectfully submitted,
