MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the receiver’s third interim application for
allowance and payment of fees and expenses incurred by the receiver, retained
counsel, and other professionals. This application covers fees and expenses incurred
during the period of July 1, 2012, through September 30, 2012.
The receiver
submitted the application to the Securities and Exchange Commission for approval
before filing it with the Court. In addition, the receiver posted the application on a
website available to all investors and other interested parties. No objection has been
filed.
The receiver seeks 80% of the total amount of legal and professional fees and
100% of the costs, without prejudice to a further application for payment of the
remaining 20% of the fees. The Court has reviewed the application and supporting
documentation and concludes that the requested fees and costs are reasonable and
appropriate.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the receiver’s third interim application for fees
and expenses [Doc. #221] is granted.
