FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, in Its Corporate Capacity v. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS, INC.
Fed. SEC. L. Rep. P 91,839 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, in Its Corporate Capacity v. National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
Opinion
PER CURIAM.
The National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) is a self-regulatory association created pursuant to the Maloney Act, 15 U.S.C. § 78o-3 (1982), to regulate brokers and dealers of securities who are members of the association. One of NASD’s members, Lewellyn Company, converted almost $15 million of funds and securities of the now insolvent First National Bank of Humboldt, Iowa. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as receiver of the bank, alleged that the bank’s loss of a portion of the converted funds was proximately caused by NASD’s negligent admission and supervision of Lewellyn Company.
*499 The district court 1
dismissed FDIC’s complaint against NASD on a FED.R.CIV.P. 12(b)(6) motion, finding that “a customer [First National Bank of Humboldt, Iowa] of a member [Lewellyn Company] of a national securities association [NASD] has no common law cause of action against the association for negligent admission or supervision of the member.”
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation v. National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., 582 F.Supp. 72 at 75 (D.Iowa 1984).
We have carefully studied the record, including the district court’s opinion and the briefs of the parties to this action. We find no merit to petitioner’s arguments, and accordingly affirm pursuant to Rule 14 of the Rules of this court on the basis of the district court’s opinion.
