I'm administrative law judge Mark Prene. I will be presiding over this matter today. We will begin by taking appearances for the record, starting first with counsel for the securities division. Good morning, honor. Jeremy Horn on behalf of securities division. Division. Morning, mister Horn. Miss Ronaldo, if you could announce for the record.
Yes. Veronica Ronaldo on behalf of Veronica. Of Ronaldo, Eric Smith, Infinite Bank of Sire, and, Sire Wealth Advisory Group. And then, actually, you're you're not a licensed attorney, so you cannot appear on behalf of of mister Smith. You can confirm that. Okay? Okay. Okay. And and, mister Smith, you're you're with us and appearing telephonically. Is that correct? That's correct. Yes, sir. Okay. Good morning then, mister Smith. I scheduled today's I scheduled today's procedural conference, in the tenth procedural order to address motions that were made by the respondents And
the respondents motion for continuance of proceedings and extension of deadlines, filed on 06/22/2026, respondents requested a continuance of the hearing, which is currently scheduled to begin on 08/03/2026, and an extension of all scheduled deadlines. On 06/24/2026, the respondents additionally requested leave to file a late answer to the division's amended notice of opportunity for hearing. Respondents and that good cause exists to grant their motions based upon the medical condition of mister Smith. Purpose of this procedural conference is to allow the respondents an opportunity to provide confidential
medical information, in support of their motions. Miss Ronaldo, did you bring the medical records and documents that you wish to have reviewed, with you today? Mister Smith was able to provide me what he had access to, And then doctor and he can explain to you as well, but they, they have another they have to pretty much write, you know, the documentation to you, and we couldn't get it done in that time frame. Like, we went in and, but they do have a specific date that they're saying they'll provide the information, just about how long he'll need and what the next steps are gonna be for
his heart and all of that. And mister Smith knows better than I can so he can explain it a bit better. But we tried to get everything to you now, but, the doctors have to actually provide that to us. But you do have some documents for us that we have? Everything that we had, just access to, and it it'll show you, the most recent, heart attack that he had. Okay. Yeah. This is how I I I'd like to run the proceedings today. After going through my preliminary remarks, I intend for us to go off the record. While off the record, I intend for division counsel
opportunity to review the documents that you have brought. Also, while off the record, I will ask questions of of you and or mister Smith. If I have questions that are specifically pertaining to mister Smith's medical condition and records, I will also allow the division, to ask questions, both of you, miss Renaldo and mister Smith. Mister Horn, if you have questions specifically pertaining, to mister Smith's medical condition and records. I'll also allow, miss Ronaldo and mister Smith, if either of you wish to make any statements regarding mister Smith's medical condition and
records. So after the documents have been reviewed by myself and securities division counsel, and questioning has concluded, we can go back on the record, and then we'll discuss, the respondent's motions. I guess we can also discuss further, I guess, the other, like, time frame for other documents if you say you're gonna have other documents. Okay. And also allow the parties an opportunity to express their positions on the motions. Once we go back on the record, I'd like to there should be no reference to anything specific, from the medical information provided regarding mister Smith.
However, information regarding that's already been made public, the June 22 and June 24 filings by the respondents, I believe we can discuss on the record. Also, because the motions involve the continuation of hearing dates and other deadlines, I believe that we can discuss any dates or schedule regarding future medical treatment, for mister Smith. Add on the record, if necessary, termination of whether good cause exists to support the motions, and if so, when new dates should be scheduled. Before we conclude today's proceedings,
I will decide whether the documents that miss Ronaldo has brought with her today in support of the motions can be returned to the respondents or if I will need to receive those into the record under seal. Mister Horn, do you have any questions, concerns, or objections as to how I intend to proceed with today's procedural conference and how I intend to handle the review of the confidential medical information? Okay. Miss Ronaldo, do you have any questions, concerns, or objections as as to how I intend to proceed with today's procedural conference or
how I intend to review the confidential medical information of mister Smith? No. No, your honor. Thank you. Mister Smith, I'm asking the same question of you. Do you have any questions, concerns, or objections as to how I intend to proceed with today's procedural conference and the review of confidential medical information of yours. Not at the moment, sir. Okay. Thank you. So at this time, I I'd like to go off the record.
