                 IN THE  SUPREME   COURT   OF THE UNITED   STATES



                                FRANCIS V. LORENZO,
                                      Petitioner

                                         V.

                        SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION,

  APPLICATION FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME IN WHICH TO FILE A PETITION
  FOR  A WRIT   OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
                              FOR  THE  D.C. CIRCUIT


       To the Honorable John G. Roberts, Jr., Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United

States and Circuit Justice for the D.C. Circuit.

       Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2101(c) and Rules 13.5, 22 and 30.2 of this Court, Petitioner

Francis V. Lorenzo respectfully requests a 29-day extension of the time in which to file a petition

for a writ of certiorari in this Court, to and including January 26, 2018. The D.C. Circuit entered

judgment on September 29, 2017. Mr. Lorenzo's time to file a petition for a writ of certiorari in

this Court expires on December 28, 2017. This application is being filed more than 10 days

before that date. The jurisdiction of this Court will be invoked under 28 U.S.C. § 1254. A copy

of the D.C. Circuit's opinion and Judge Kavanaugh's dissent, which are reported at 872 F.3d 578,

are attached as Exhibit 1.

       The decision from the D.C. Circuit creates a conflict among the circuit courts concerning

whether inadequate securities fraud claims for deceptive statements under Section 10(b) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), 15 U.S.C. § 78j(b), and Rule 1 Ob-5(b), 17
