The SEC effected service of process on the lone Defendant with an address in the United States, Spencer Pharmaceutical Inc., on December 28, 2012, and filed a proof of service with the Court that same day. (Dkt. #4). The SEC effected service of process on Defendants Maximilien Arella (Laval, Quebec) and Ian Morrice (Ottawa, Ontario) via international registered mail on January 21, 2013, and January 23, 2013, respectively, and filed proofs of service on January 30, 2013. (Dkts. #5, 6).1 Finally, the SEC effected service of process on the three remaining Defendants – Jean-François Amyot, IAB Media Inc., and Hilbroy Advisory Inc. – in the Bahamas on April 8, 2013, via personal service on Defendant Amyot. The SEC is in the process of obtaining executed proofs of service for these three defendants from the process server and will file the proofs of service with the Court as soon as they are prepared.

Defendants Proceeding Pro Se

In advance of the scheduling conference scheduled for April 30, 2013, the SEC also respectfully provides notice that it understands that one or more of the Defendants are proceeding pro se in this matter, at least initially.

Accordingly, pursuant to Footnote 3 of the Court’s Notice of Scheduling Conference (Dkt. # 9), the SEC anticipates that the parties will not file a joint statement pursuant to Local Rule 16.1 prior to the scheduling conference.
