- S.E.C. v. City of Miami – After SEC institutes civil enforcement action against City of Miami and its Budget Director for securities fraud in connection with bond issuance, Court of Appeals holds – in a matter of apparent first impression – that qualified immunity is not available to municipal officials as a defense in SEC enforcement actions.
- And finally, in another matter of apparent first impression, Thebeau v. Smith brings us the story of a promising political career tragically cut short by a traitorous Star Wars action figure. Mayoral candidate claiming to be domiciled in Springhill is outed as an actual resident of Shongaloo when this grown man, a) welcomes a plumber into his mother’s Shongaloo home, b) admits to the plumber that he lives with his mom, then c) takes the plumber to his room to show him “some of his personal belongings he had in his room there.” Like Jack and Bobby. Cut down in his prime.
