Notice is hereby given, pursuant to
the provisions of the Government in the
Sunshine Act, Pub. L. 94–409, that the
Securities and Exchange Commission
will hold the following meetings during
the week of February 5, 2007:
An Open Meeting will be held on
Wednesday, February 7, 2007 at 10 a.m.
in the Auditorium, Room LL–002, and
Closed Meetings will be held on
Wednesday, February 7, 2007 at 11 a.m.
and Thursday, February 8, 2007 at 2

Commissioners, Counsels to the
Commissioners, the Secretary to the
Commission, and recording secretaries
will attend the Closed Meetings. Certain
staff members who have an interest in
the matters may also be present.
The General Counsel of the
Commission, or his designee, has
certified that, in his opinion, one or
more of the exemptions set forth in 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(3), (4), (5), (7), (8), 9(B)
and (10) and 17 CFR 200.402(a)(3), (4),
(5), (7), (8), 9(ii) and (10) permit
consideration of the scheduled matters
at the Closed Meetings.
Commissioner Nazareth as duty
officer, voted to consider the items
listed for the closed meetings in closed
session.
The subject matter of the Open
Meeting scheduled for Wednesday,
February 7, 2007 at 10 a.m. will be:
The Commission will hear oral
argument on an appeal by John A.
Carley, Eugene C. Geiger, Thomas A.
Kaufmann, Edward H. Price, and
Christopher H. Zacharias from an initial
decision of an administrative law judge.
Carley and Zacharias were officers
and directors of Starnet
Communications International, Inc.
Geiger and Kaufmann were associated
persons of Spencer Edwards, Inc., a
registered broker-dealer. Price was
president, chief executive officer, and
chief compliance officer of Spencer
Edwards and supervised Geiger and
Kaufmann.
The law judge found that Carley and
Zacharias violated, and Geiger and
Kaufmann willfully violated, Sections
5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:13 Feb 01, 2007
Jkt 211001
1933 by offering to sell, selling, and
delivering to members of the public
shares of Starnet common stock when
no registration statement was filed or in
effect with respect to those securities
and no exemption from registration was
available. The law judge found that
Price failed reasonably to supervise
Geiger and Kaufmann. The law judge
found further that Carley and Zacharias
violated the antifraud provisions of the
securities laws by filing with the
Commission false and misleading
current and annual reports. The law
judge also found that Zacharias violated
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rule 16a–
3 by failing to file a required Form 4.
The law judge imposed cease-anddesist orders on Carley, Zacharias,
Geiger, and Kaufmann, barred Geiger
and Kaufmann from associating with
any broker or dealer, and barred Price
from associating with any broker or
dealer in a supervisory capacity. The
law judge ordered Carley and Zacharias
each to disgorge an amount representing
payments made to them in connection
with their unregistered sale of shares of
Starnet common stock. The law judge
also ordered Geiger and Kaufmann each
to disgorge fifty percent of the net
commissions that they earned on all
Starnet trades attributable to their joint
account number at Spencer Edwards
from January 1999 through February
2001. The law judge imposed penalties
of $400,000 against Geiger, $300,000
against Kaufmann, and $150,000 against
Price.
Carley, Zacharias, Geiger, Kaufmann,
and Price appeal the law judge’s
findings of violation and the sanctions
imposed by the law judge.
Among the issues likely to be
considered are:
(1) Whether respondents committed
the alleged violations; and
(2) If so, whether sanctions should be
imposed in the public interest.
The subject matter of the Closed
Meeting scheduled for Wednesday,
February 7, 2007 at 11 a.m. will be:
post-argument discussion.
The subject matter of the Closed
Meeting scheduled for Thursday,
February 8, 2007 will be: regulatory
matter regarding financial institution;
formal orders of investigation;
institution and settlement of injunctive
actions; institution and settlement of
administrative proceedings of an
enforcement nature; resolution of
litigation claims; an adjudicatory matter;
and other matters relating to
enforcement proceedings.
At times, changes in Commission
priorities require alterations in the
scheduling of meeting items.
