WASHINGTON, April 13 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following order (Admin. Proc. File No. 3-19323) involving Sean Kelly:
In the Matter of SEAN KELLY
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
On August 7, 2019, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an order instituting administrative proceedings ("OIP") against Sean Kelly pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 203(f) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940./1
On October 22, 2020, the Division of Enforcement filed a status report, which states that service of the OIP was made on Kelly on October 15,2020, by personal service.
As stated in the OIP, Kelly's answer was required to be filed within 20 days of service of the OIP./2
As of the date of this order, Kelly has not filed an answer. The prehearing conference and the hearing are thus continued indefinitely.
Accordingly, Kelly is ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE by April 26, 2021, why he should not be deemed to be in default and why this proceeding should not be determined against him due to his failure to file an answer and to otherwise defend this proceeding. When a party defaults, the allegations in the OIP will be deemed to be true and the Commission may determine the proceeding against that party upon consideration of the record without holding a public hearing./3
The OIP informed Kelly that a failure to file an answer could result in his being deemed in default and the proceedings determined against him./4
If Kelly files a response to this order to show cause, the Division may file a reply within 21 days after its service. If Kelly does not file a response, the Division shall file a motion for default and other relief by May 24, 2021. The motion should discuss relevant authority relating to the legal basis for and the appropriateness of the requested sanctions and include evidentiary support sufficient to make an individualized assessment of whether those sanctions are in the public interest./5
The parties may file opposition and reply briefs within the deadlines provided by the Rules of Practice./6
The failure to timely oppose a dispositive motion is itself a basis for a finding of default;/7 it may result in the determination of particular claims, or the proceeding as a whole, adversely to the non-moving party and may be deemed a forfeiture of arguments that could have been raised at that time./8
The parties' attention is called to the Commission's March 18, 2020 order regarding the filing and service of papers, which provides that pending further order of the Commission parties to the extent possible shall submit all filings electronically at apfilings@sec.gov./9
Also, the Commission's Rules of Practice were recently amended to include new e-filing requirements, which take effect on April 12, 2021./10
Upon review of the filings in response to this order, the Commission will either direct further proceedings by subsequent order or issue a final opinion and order resolving the matter.
For the Commission, by the Office of the General Counsel, pursuant to delegated authority.
Vanessa A. Countryman, Secretary

WASHINGTON, April 13 -- The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the following order (Admin. Proc. File No. 3-19868) involving Elitesoft Global and Capital Access Point 1:
In the Matter of ELITESOFT GLOBAL INC. AND CAPITAL ACCESS POINT 1, INC.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE AS TO CAPITAL ACCESS POINT 1, INC., AND ORDER REGARDING SERVICE AS ELITESOFT GLOBAL INC.

On September 29, 2020, the Division of Enforcement filed the Declaration of Gina Joyce, which stated that, pursuant to Rule 141(a)(2)(ii) of the Commission's Rules of Practice,/2 service of the OIP was made on Capital Access on August 4, 2020./3
As stated in the OIP, Capital Access's answer was required to be filed within ten days of service of the OIP./4
As of the date of this order, Capital Access has not filed an answer. The prehearing conference and the hearing are thus continued indefinitely.
Accordingly, Capital Access is ORDERED to SHOW CAUSE, by April 26, 2021, why the registration of its securities should not be revoked by default due to its failure to file an answer and to otherwise defend this proceeding. When a party defaults, the allegations in the OIP will be deemed to be true and the Commission may determine the proceeding against that party upon consideration of the record without holding a public hearing.
If Capital Access fails to respond to this order to show cause, it may be deemed in default, the proceedings may be determined against it, and the registration of its securities may be revoked./5

2/ 17 C.F.R. Sec. 201.141(a)(2)(ii).
3/ The declaration also stated that, on August 4, 2020, service of the OIP was made on EliteSoft at the address shown on its most recent filing with the Commission. See id. (providing method of authorized service on issuers of a class of securities registered with the Commission). But since EliteSoft's last filing with the Commission, its address was updated as part of a renumbering scheme, and it appears the postal service did not attempt delivery at the updated address. See City of Hillsboro Planning Department, RE: Connecting Hillsboro Address Project Phase 3-J (Nov. 15, 2018), https://www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/home/showdocument?id=22092 (reflecting changes in street name, building number, and city designations).

"On April 5, 2021, the licensee reported that on April 4, 2021, the roll pin in the shutter handle on a Berthold Model 8010 density gauge containing 20 milliCuries of cesium-137 had failed and the shutter handle came off. The gauge had been mounted on a pipe near the well head on a well in La Salle County, Texas. The licenseeis authorized to replace the roll pin so one of its trained technicians responded to the site and removed the gauge and repaired the roll pin. The technician found the shutter was closed when he surveyed prior to beginning work. The licensee also reported the technician found that the nuts had backed off of the bolts where the gauge was mounted to the pipe, so the gauge was not snug to the pipe. The licensee contacted Berthold to discuss effects of vibration as it pertains to this event (and potential effect for its other gauges mounted similarly) as well as the corrosion that was observed on roll pin(s). The licensee's determination was that there would not have been any exposures as a result of this event. The licensee will keep the gauge in storage until it can complete an evaluation of the gauge mounting location and the roll pin type for this and its other gauges. An investigation into this event is ongoing. Further information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300.

The following was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Agency) via email:
"On April 1, 2021, at 1647 CDT, the Agency was notified by the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) that a Troxler model 3440 moisture density gauge containing an eight millicurie cesium-137 source and a 40 millicurie americium-241source had been run over at a field site by a piece of equipment.
"The RSO stated the technician using the gauge stated that the cesium-137 source was in the fully shielded position when the event occurred. The RSO stated the technician was moving his equipment to a new test location at the site when the gauge was damaged. The RSO stated the gauge case was shattered and he was not sure how they would recover the gauge. He stated the gauge was reading 40 millirem per hour on contact near the cesium source. The RSO stated a barrier was establish around the gauge and the dose rate readings at the barrier were at background.
"The Agency advised the RSO to contact the manufacturer and request assistance in recovering the gauge. The RSO contacted the Agency a short time later and reported the manufacturer could not assist in the recovery. The RSO also stated that during his inspection of the gauge they discovered the cesium source was not in the fully shielded position. Also, it appeared that the source rod was no longer attached to the gauge housing. The RSO stated the source rod was bent so they could not retract the source into the shield.
"The licensee decided to recover the source by picking the source rod up from the end opposite of the source using channel locks and placing it in a thirty gallon can half full with sand and then covering the source with sand. The RSO reported the highest dose rate on the container after placing the source in the can and covering it with sand was 0.8 millirem per hour. The RSO contacted the Agency at 1828 CDT on April 1, 2021, and reported that the source was locked in their storage facility. The RSO stated they would work with the manufacturer to dispose of the gauge and sources. The RSO stated the gauge would be leak tested on April 2, 2021. The RSO stated the americium-241 source was not affected by the event. No individual received a significant exposure from the event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300."

The following is a summary from a phone call and subsequent e-mail from the technologist at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes, Indiana:
On Sunday, April 4th, 2021 at approximately 1130 EDT, a reportable event occurred when the technologist was called in to administer injections for two patients. The first patient was to have a lung scan. Instead ofinjecting the patient with Tc99m MAA for a lung perfusion, the technologist injected him with Tc99m Choletec that was to be used for the second patient. Both the lung dose and the gallbladder dose were calibrated for the same time and both were 5 mCi doses. The technologist picked up the wrong dose but did not double check the syringe sticker before administration. The patient suffered no visible harm and picked up an additional exposure from the 5.23 mCi of Tc99m Choletec and a delay in completing the exam since pictures would not be diagnostic if done before the choletec has had the chance to dissipate. The technologist notified the NRC Operations Center and completed an incident report for the hospital. The technologist plans to notify her supervisor, the Radiation Safety Officer, the patient's nurse, patient, and radiologist.

WASHINGTON, April 13 -- The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued the following news release on April 12, 2021:
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering today announced a strategic partnership to support technological innovation in the banking and financial services sectors.
"This exciting collaboration will amplify our efforts to drive innovation in the banking ecosystem and within the FDIC," said Sultan Meghji, FDIC's Chief Innovation Officer. "We share a common interest to better understand the opportunities and the risks ofnew technologies and to build a first-of-its-kind strategic innovation program."
"The opportunity to partner with the FDIC, and in particular Sultan, will allow our students to work on the cutting edge of finance, risk management, credit and emerging asset classes," said Jimmie Lenz, director of Duke's Master of Engineering programs in FinTech and Cybersecurity. "Our FinTech and Cybersecurity graduate students will be leveraging the applied learning that defines these programs and students, to develop and deliver solutions to assist the largest bank insurance organization in the world. This partnership highlights the dramatic changes taking place in finance, and recognition by the FDIC of the key role Duke Engineering is playing in this dynamic environment."
The agreement announced today builds on a longstanding relationship between the FDIC's Center for Financial Research and Duke University. It provides a roadmap for the FDIC's Tech Lab (FDiTech) and Duke faculty and students to collaborate in a number of areas focused on innovation, including artificial intelligence, risk management, quantitative research and cybersecurity.
Duke Engineering is home to a range of programs that apply technology to enterprise innovation, including master's degree programs in FinTech, Cybersecurity, AI for Product Innovation and Engineering Management. These bring together faculty from across the university for teaching and research in critical areas of interest to the FDIC, including: artificial intelligence; machine learning; automation; digitizing business; enterprise data management; forward-looking security (e.g., zero trust architecture) and emerging and advanced data technologies.
