SEC v. Charles Johnson, Jr.

Summary

The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied a petition for rehearing and amended language in its June 28, 2011 opinion. The amendment addressed preservation of an objection to venue and whether an alleged venue error was harmless.

Holdings

1. The petition for rehearing was denied.
2. The court amended its prior opinion to state that Benyo preserved his objection to venue at every opportunity and that the venue error would be harmless to him only if the court also ruled in his favor on the merits.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the petition for rehearing should be granted.
2. Whether the court's June 28, 2011 opinion should be amended to clarify the significance of Benyo's preserved venue objection and the relationship between the venue error and the merits.
