ORDER denying 363 Motion for Summary Judgment; signed by Judge William C Griesbach on 03/14/2012. (cc: all counsel, via US mail to James Putman) (Griesbach, William)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. 09-C-506
WEALTH MANAGEMENT, LLC, et al.,
Defendants.
ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
Pro se Defendant James Putman filed a motion for summary judgment. The brief supporting
the motion is a two-page document that criticizes the Securities and Exchange Commission for
seizing control of his former company’s assets and thus reducing or eliminating his own ability to
disgorge the amount of money the government seeks. This sparse argument does not provide a basis
for relief, at least at this stage. To the extent Putman has a viable defense, the merits of that defense
will be taken up at a future date in this Court’s decision addressing the government’s motion for
summary judgment. Putman’s own motion, however, will be DENIED.
SO ORDERED this 14th day of March, 2012.
