1Opinion of the Court

JOHN M. WALKER, JR., Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff-Appellant Donna Ann Gabriele Cheehele appeals from the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Paul A. Crotty, Judge) granting insider Defendants-Ap-pellees’ motion to dismiss her short-swing trading complaint. Specifically, the district court found that the requirements of a claim under section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), mandating disgorgement of short-swing profits by statutory insiders, had not been satisfied. We agree and affirm the district court’s judgment.
