FINRA Discipline: FINRA Rule 9264

From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:

This is the nineteenth in a series of posts to discuss the rules associated with the FINRA disciplinary process. FINRA Rule 9264 states that a respondent or FINRA has opportunity to file a motion for summary disposition after the respondent files his or her answer and all of the documents have been submitted. Parties are required to file a motion for summary disposition at least 21 days before the hearing and any opposition to that motion must be filed at least 7 days before the hearing.

A respondent or FINRA also has the right to file a motion for summary disposition for any or all causes of action in the complaint after the hearing has commenced. A motion for summary disposition should not exceed 35 pages and should include a statement of undisputed facts; a supporting memorandum of points and authorities; and affidavits or declarations that set forth such facts.  

A hearing officer may promptly deny or defer decisions on any motion for summary disposition, however, only a hearing panel can grant a motion for summary disposition.

Jim, Stephany and the whole team were a God send.  We felt like we were put into a situation where we had no advocate. Jim’s team came in with a strong, well laid out strategy on how to get our story heard. Where our outside compliance company had no ability to help, our Broker Dealer was impenitent, and the regulators were aggressive pursuing vague rules, Jim came like a barricade against an assault we did not understand. Though you pay member dues to be affiliated with FINRA and a B/D, you have no voice. The only thing that is truly heard in this un-level playing field is a bulldog’s bark like Jim’s. I would encourage anyone to call Jim and his team to find a real ally in the tough and complicated world of securities regulation. They are truly the best.
