SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Sunshine Act Meetings.

Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the Government in the Sunshine Act, Pub. L. 94-409, that the Securities and Exchange Commission will hold the following meetings during the week of January 28, 2008:

An Open Meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 10:00 a.m., in the Auditorium, Room L-002, and Closed Meetings will be held on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. and Thursday, January 31, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.

Commissioners, Counsel to the Commissioners, the Secretary to the Commission, and recording secretaries will attend the Closed Meetings. Certain staff members who have an interest in the matters may also 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)(5), (7), (9)(B), and (10) and 17 CFR 200.402(a)(5), (7), 9(ii) and (10), permit consideration of the scheduled matters at the Closed Meetings.

Commissioner Casey, as duty officer, voted to consider the items listed for the closed meetings in closed sessions, and determined that no earlier notice of the meetings was possible.

The subject matter of the Open Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 30, 2008 will be:

The Commission will hear oral argument in an appeal by Jeffrey L. Gibson from the decision of an administrative law judge. Gibson is a part-owner and associated person of Gibson Gaither Wealth Management Advisors, an investment adviser, and also was, during the time at issue, associated with H. Beck, Inc., a broker-dealer. On May 9, 2006, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia enjoined Gibson, with his consent, from violations of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws.

Upon motion for summary disposition, the law judge found that it was undisputed that Gibson was associated with an investment adviser and a broker-dealer and that he had been enjoined from violating the antifraud provisions of the securities laws. The law judge determined that Gibson should be barred from association with an investment adviser or broker-dealer.

Among the issues likely to be argued are:

whether the law judge properly granted the Division of Enforcement's motion for summary disposition; and

if so, whether sanctions should be imposed in the public interest.

The subject matter of the Closed Meeting scheduled for Wednesday, January 30, 2008 will be:

Post-argument discussion.

The subject matter of the Closed Meeting scheduled for Thursday, January 31, 2008 will be:

Institution and settlement of injunctive actions;

Institution and settlement of administrative proceedings of an enforcement nature;

Resolution of litigation claims; and

Post-argument discussion.

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.
