CASE NO. 4:15-CV-338
Judge Mazzant

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Pending before the Court is Defendant’s pro se Motion to Retrieve Private Property and
Effects from the Court Appointed Receiver (Dkt. #272). The Court, having considered the relevant
pleadings, finds that Defendant’s motion should be denied.
On January 23, 2018, Defendant Sameer P Sethi filed a motion for return of his property
(Dkt. #272). On February 13, 2018, the SEC filed a response (Dkt. #273).
Defendant’s one paragraph request provides no details other than a general request for return

.

of items seized by the Receiver. The Court finds that this request is premature. Defendant should
also meet and confer with the Receiver regarding this issue.
It is therefore ORDERED that Defendant’s pro se Motion to Retrieve Private Property and
Effects from the Court Appointed Receiver (Dkt. #272) is hereby DENIED at this time.

SIGNED this 27th day of February, 2018.
