August 27, 2008.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is 
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of

periodic reports since the period ended September 30, 2005. Markland is 
quoted on the Pink Sheets OTC Markets, Inc. under the ticker symbol 
MRKL.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the 
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the 
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the 
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on 
August 27, 2008, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on September 10, 2008.

    By the Commission.
