101820P.pdf   07/19/2011  SEC  v.  Michael Shanahan, Jr.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-1820
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Wollman and Smith, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Securities. District court did not err in granting defendant's
   motion for judgment as a matter of law at the close of the SEC's case on
   the ground that the SEC had failed to prove the required elements of
   scienter and negligence with respect to its claims that defendant had
   violated securities law by participating in the grant of backdated "in-the-
   money" stock options to corporate executives.
