NCLA Asks Ninth Circuit to Overturn SEC’s Illegal Gag Rule on Targets of Settled Enforcement Cases

- Representing several SEC enforcement targets silenced by the Gag Rule—and media organizations eager to hear the stories they wish to tell—NCLA urges the Ninth Circuit to halt this egregious trampling of First Amendment rights.
- SEC enacted the 1972 Gag Rule without notice and comment after falsely framing it as an internal “housekeeping” measure that would not affect third parties.
- SEC has never provided a legitimate—much less a compelling reason—for silencing all settling enforcement targets for life.
- NCLA has also represented Petitioner Christopher Novinger previously in appealing the gag provisions of his SEC enforcement settlement.
