Lawyers believe the US SEC<\/a> has two more days to file its Form C to avoid having its appeal dismissed in the XRP lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) missed the deadline for filing its appeal in the Ripple lawsuit, stirring discussions within the XRP community about whether the Second Circuit Court will dismiss the appeal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts and attorneys have weighed in on the SEC's delay and its potential consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ripple SEC Lawsuit Appeal Could Be Dismissed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Members of the XRP community are seeking clarification from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty, as the SEC failed to file Form C\u2014detailing the appeal terms\u2014by the deadline. This lapse has led to speculation that the appeal could be dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett confirmed in a post on X that no filing appeared on Pacer, with attorneys, including Ripple\u2019s General Counsel, stating that the SEC's deadline was October 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, lawyers Jeremy Hogan and Terrett later shared court documents indicating that the actual deadline is Friday, October 18 at 11:59 PM, as the appeal wasn\u2019t officially docketed until October 4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 14-day appeal window typically begins once the appeal is docketed rather than when it\u2019s initially filed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Local Rule 12.1(d) of the Second Circuit, failure to meet the filing deadline could result in the appeal\u2019s dismissal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid confusion over the deadline, legal experts like Bill Morgan, Fred Rispoli, and James Murphy clarified that the SEC is not in danger of missing the appeal deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Torres wrong on "Programmatic Sales"
2. Torres wrong on "Other Distributions"
3. Torres wrong on not allowing disgorgement
4. Torres wrong by ordering "too low" penalty of $125M

Former SEC attorney Marc Fagel explained that the docketing notice refers to the acknowledgment from the court, which may extend the 14-day deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn any event, if they did screw up, it\u2019s just that; this is not the SEC walking away from the appeal. And it\u2019s not like we don\u2019t know the basis for the appeal that will eventually be in the Form C.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The SEC\u2019s notice of appeal, filed on October 2, indicated that the agency was appealing the court\u2019s Order on Motion for Summary Judgment regarding $125 million in penalties during the remedies phase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal record and docket sheet were transmitted on October 3 and officially docketed in the Second Circuit Court on October 4, giving the SEC additional time to submit Form C and Form D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
