   ORDER ACCEPTING CERTIFICATION, REVERSING PARTIAL SUMMARY DISPOSITION,
   AND REMANDING FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS

   On April 27, 1998, the Commission instituted proceedings against
   Albert Glenn Yesner, pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of
   1933, Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule
   102(e)(1), to determine whether he violated various provisions of the
   securities laws and to determine whether we should deny him the
   privilege of appearing or practicing as an accountant before us.
   Yesner filed his Answer on June 16, 1998. Concurrently, he moved for
   partial summary disposition to dismiss, among other allegations, Rule
   102(e)(1)(ii) charges contained in the Order Instituting Proceedings,
   based on . In , the court of appeals dismissed proceedings against
   accountants because it found that the Commission failed to articulate
   a clear interpretation of Rule 102(e)(1)(ii). The court stated that it
   could not discern the Commission's standards for liability under Rule
   102(e)(1)(ii).

   The administrative law judge, at a prehearing conference held on July
   7, 1998, deferred a ruling on Yesner's motion for partial summary
   disposition pending close of the evidence in the Division of
   Enforcement/Office of the Chief Accountant's ("Division")
   case-in-chief. At the close of the Division's case, the law judge
   orally granted Yesner's motion for partial summary disposition. The
   Division moved for reconsideration and requested that the law judge
   defer ruling on the motion on the grounds that the Commission was
   about to publish an amended Rule 102(e) standard. The law judge orally
   granted the Division's motion for reconsideration but denied relief.
   The law judge gave the Division leave to refile the motion to
   reconsider after the Commission published its amendment to Rule
