		<description><![CDATA[On February 17, 2012 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) published that the commission issued an Order Instituting Proceedings (OIP) on November 29, 2011, pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The OIP alleges that Respondent Robert Rossi (Rossi) was permanently enjoined from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act), Sections 10(b) and 15(a) of the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5 in SEC v. Petroleum Unlimited, LLC, 9:11-cv-80038-KAM (S.D. Fla. Nov. 9, 2011). I held a prehearing conference on December 29, 2011, at which Rossi did not appear. At the prehearing conference, I found that Rossi was served with the OIP on December 3, 2011, in accordance with Rule 141(a)(2)(i) of the Commission&#8217;s Rules of Practice. Prehearing Tr. 7-8. See 17 C.F.R. &#167; 201.141(a)(2)(i). To date, Rossi has not filed an Answer, which was due on December 27, 2011. See OIP at 3; 17 C.F.R. &#167;&#167; 201.160(b), .220(b).]]></description>
