CASTEL, District Judge.
Plaintiffs Arjent LLC and its chief executive officer (“CEO”), Robert DePalo, (collectively, “Arjent”) bring this action against defendant United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Arjent further alleges that, as a small broker/dealer, it is subjected to harsher treatment compared to large firms in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
