Jarkesy v. Securities and Exchange Commission
United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
34 F.4th 446 (2022)
The Securities and Exchange Commission or SEC is a government agency that regulates the securities industry. In Jarkesy versus Securities and Exchange Commission, the fifth circuit considered the commission's authority to bring enforcement actions and impose penalties through administrative proceedings.
George Jarkesy established two hedge funds and appointed Patriot twenty eight as the funds adviser.
The SEC commenced an enforcement action against Jarkesy and Patriot, alleging that they'd committed securities fraud by misrepresenting fund information and overvaluing assets.
After a hearing, an administrative law judge concluded that Jarkesy and Patriot committed securities fraud.
The SEC affirmed, imposed a three hundred thousand dollar civil penalty, ordered Patriot to disgorge over six hundred thousand dollars, and barred Jarkesy from certain securities activities.
Jarkesy and Patriot petitioned the fifth circuit to review the commission's decision, asserting that the agency proceeding violated their seventh amendment right to a jury trial, and that the Dodd Frank act unconstitutionally delegated congress's legislative power by allowing the commission to decide whether to bring enforcement actions within the agency or in federal court.

Ventura v. Kyle | 825 F.3d 876 (2016)
The federal rules of evidence prohibit evidence of a defendants insurance coverage for some purposes but not others.
Nonetheless, attorneys must be careful discussing insurance at trial as the court explains in Ventura versus Kyle.
Chris Kyle, a former Navy SEAL sniper, wrote a memoir called American Sniper. In the book, Kyle recounted how he punched a celebrity referred to as Scruff Face in a bar fight after Scruff Face said offensive things about America and the SEALs.
After the books release, Kyle identified Scruff Face as Jesse Ventura in interviews. Ventura was a former governor of Minnesota and professional wrestler among other things. Ventura sued Kyle for defamation and other claims, alleging that Kyle had made up the whole story.
Following Kyles death, his wife, Tayah, was substituted as defendant as the executor of Kyles estate. Two witnesses from American Snipers publisher, Harper Collins, testified at trial. Venturas lawyer questioned both witnesses about Harper Collins and Kyles insurance coverage to try to show the witnesses were biased in Kyles favor. Both witnesses denied knowing anything about insurance.
During closing arguments, Venturas lawyer emphasized that both HarperCollins witnesses had denied knowledge that Harper Collins insurer was paying Kyles legal bills and would pay any damages on the defamation claim.
The district court denied Kyles motion for a mistrial because of the insurance references.
The jury struggled to reach a decision, ultimately reaching a nonunanimous verdict after five days.
The jury awarded Ventura five hundred thousand dollars on the defamation claim.
Kyle moved for judgment as a matter of law or a new trial, arguing that the jurys award was tainted by the admission of prejudicial information and argument about Kyles alleged insurance.
The district court denied the motion.
Kyle appealed to the eighth circuit.
