Defense Team for Nova Oculus, Pocklington Launch Counter-offensive Against SEC
PALM DESERT, Calif. (PRWEB) July 12, 2018 -- The powerhouse defense firm recruited by Nova Oculus Partners, LLC and its founder, Peter Pocklington, has begun to fight back against allegations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
On July 5, acclaimed California attorney Becky James of James & Associates filed a motion to dismiss the SEC’s charges with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Eastern Division. In the motion, James asserts the SEC has mounted a “baseless attack” on Nova Oculus and three members of its executive team, and that even SEC’s “one-sided and often misleading allegations” do not demonstrate any wrongdoing by the company or the individuals involved. The motion is attached.
James was for more than 12 years a federal prosecutor at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, where she supervised the then-rookie prosecutor who is now the SEC’s lead trial counsel in this case. James and her associates have worked on some of the most high-profile trials and appeals in the country, and have successfully defended numerous cases involving unfounded claims of fraud.
The case is Securities and Exchange Commission v. Peter H. Pocklington et al., Case No. 5:18-cev-00701-JGB, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Eastern Division. The motion to dismiss will be heard Aug. 20, 2018.
