Explanation
Why C — File for judicial review in the appropriate state court within the time allowed by state law
Under USA Section 411, a person aggrieved by a final order of the Administrator may seek judicial review by filing an action in the appropriate state court. The court reviews the record to determine whether the Administrator's findings were supported by evidence and the order was lawful. There is no appeal to the SEC or NASAA from a state administrative order.
