   ORDER MAKING FINDINGS AND IMPOSING REMEDIAL SANCTION BY DEFAULT

   The Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission or SEC) instituted
   this proceeding on August 15, 2003, by an Order Instituting
   Proceedings (OIP), pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities
   Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act).

   The OIP was served on Respondent John DelPrince (DelPrince) at Davie,
   Florida, on August 23, 2003. By the terms of the OIP and Rule 220(b)
   of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.220(b),
   DelPrince's Answer was due twenty days later. No Answer has been
   filed, and the time for filing has now expired. In addition, the
   Division of Enforcement has filed a pleading representing that
   DelPrince has informed it that he does not intend to file an Answer,
   contest the allegations in the OIP, or oppose the requested sanction,
   which is a bar on association with any broker or dealer.

   Accordingly, DelPrince is in default within the meaning of Rules
   155(a)(2) and 220(f) of the Commission's Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R.
   §§ 201.155(a)(2), .220(f), and an Administrative Law Judge may
   determine the proceeding against him upon consideration of the record,
   including the OIP, the allegations of which may be deemed to be true.

   I find the following allegations in the OIP to be true

   DelPrince, age 46, is a resident of Florida. At all relevant times,
   DelPrince was the president and majority shareholder of Old Dominion
   Securities, Inc. (Old Dominion), a broker and dealer registered with
   the Commission pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Exchange Act.
