Paul Atkins

Chair

Gary

<p>In the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/xrp-lawsuit-news-expert-reveals-why-sec-wont-miss-january-15-deadline-and-risk-dismissal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ongoing legal battle between the SEC and Ripple</a>, the parties have recently filed a stipulation indicating they will submit a deferred appendix for the cross-appeals 21 days after the appellee's brief is served. The SEC is still required to file its opening brief by tomorrow (January 16).</p>   
<p>Despite this, the XRP community is questioning whether the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-will-paul-atkins-end-the-decade-long-lawsuit/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">new SEC chair Paul Atkins</a> could potentially retract the appeal. Bill Morgan, a legal expert, expressed uncertainty, suggesting that a vote by all five commissioners might not be required. Morgan has always anticipated the SEC would proceed with filing the opening brief, noting the appeal is arguable and the SEC holds a decent position for negotiation.</p>   
<p>Former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel weighed in, stating that a newly-formed SEC would likely need to vote to dismiss the appeal, although it would be a highly unusual move. Morgan responded, acknowledging Fagel’s point but clarified he doesn’t expect the SEC to vote to dismiss. He suggested that the SEC might instead seek a better deal through settlement, even if enforcement actions shift under new leadership.</p>

 <p>I don’t see or at least don’t assume the SEC will vote to dismiss it. They could quietly negotiate a better deal by settlement even if the policy changes towards enforcement actions.</p>
