SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Sunshine Act Meetings

    Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, that the Securities 
and Exchange Commission will hold an open meeting on September 16, 2009 
at 10 a.m., in the Auditorium, Room L-002, and a closed meeting on 
September 16, 2009 at 11 a.m.
    The subject matter of the September 16, 2009 open meeting will be:
    The Commission will hear oral argument in an appeal by Rodney R. 
Schoemann, a Louisiana resident, from the decision of an administrative 
law judge. The law judge found that Schoemann violated Sections 5(a) 
and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933 in November 2004 by offering and 
selling the securities of Stinger Systems, Inc.

[[Page 47032]]

when no registration statement was filed or in effect with respect to 
those securities and no exemption from registration was available. The 
law judge ordered Schoemann to cease and desist from committing or 
causing any violations or future violations of Sections 5(a) and 5(c) 
of the Securities Act, and ordered Schoemann to disgorge $967,901 in 
profits, plus prejudgment interest, from his sales of the securities.
    Among the issues likely to be argued are
    1. Whether Schoemann's sales of the securities at issue violated 
the Securities Act; and
    2. Whether sanctions should be imposed in the public interest.
    Commissioners, Counsel to the Commissioners, the Secretary to the 
Commission, and recording secretaries will attend the closed meeting. 
Certain staff members who have an interest in the matters also may 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), (5), (7), 9(B) and (10) and 17 CFR 
200.402(a)(3), (5), (7), 9(ii) and (10), permit consideration of the 
scheduled matters at the closed meeting.
    Commissioner Paredes, as duty officer, voted to consider the items 
listed for the closed meeting in a closed session.
    The subject matter of the September 16, 2009 closed meeting will 
be:
    Institution and settlement of injunctive actions;
    Institution and settlement of administrative proceedings;
    Other matters relating to enforcement proceedings; and
    An opinion.
    At times, changes in Commission priorities require alterations in 
the scheduling of meeting items.
    For further information and to ascertain what, if any, matters have 
been added, deleted or postponed, please contact:
    The Office of the Secretary at (202) 551-5400.

    Dated: September 9, 2009.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
