Doe v. Securities and Exchange Commission
Petition for certiorari denied on May 30, 2023
Issues: (1) Whether the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010’s whistleblower award program excludes whistleblowers whose criminal conduct is only tangentially connected to a Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement action (and related actions) and who have pleaded guilty but have not been sentenced; and (2) whether the SEC’s heavily redacted Orders Determining Whistleblower Award Claims and sealed Whistleblower Award Proceedings are entitled to Chevron, Skidmore, or some other level of deference.
