UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Before the
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Release No. 43708 / December 12, 2000

Administrative Proceeding
File No. 3-10381

I.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors that public administrative proceedings be instituted against Jeffrey S. Honigman ("Honigman"), pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 19(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").

II.

In anticipation of the institution of these administrative proceedings, Honigman has submitted an Offer of Settlement of Jeffrey S. Honigman ("Offer") which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings, and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission or in which the Commission is a party, and without admitting or denying the findings set forth herein, except as to personal and subject matter jurisdiction and the findings set forth in Paragraph III.A below, and the entry of the injunction set forth in Paragraph III.B. below, which are admitted, Honigman consents to the entry of this Order Instituting Proceedings, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions Pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 19(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Order") and to the entry of the findings and imposition of the remedial sanctions set forth below.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby are, instituted against Honigman pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 19(h) of the Exchange Act.

III.

On the basis of this Order and Honigman's Offer, the Commission finds that:

A. From March 1994 through April 1998, Honigman was associated with Duke and Company, Inc. ("Duke"), a broker-dealer registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act;

B. Honigman was permanently enjoined on December 4, 2000, by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, in an action captioned Securities and Exchange Commission v. Victor Wang, et. al., Civ. 99-4917 (JG) ("Injunctive Action"), from future violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and Sections 101 and 102 of Regulation M; and from aiding and abetting any future violations of Sections 10(b) and 15(c) of the Exchange Act and Rules 10b-3 and 15c1-2 promulgated thereunder; and

C. In the injunctive action described in Paragraph III.B above, the Commission's Complaint alleged, inter alia, that:

Between May 1996 and June 1996, Honigman and others defrauded the investing public by manipulating the immediate after-market of the initial public offering ("IPO") of the securities of Paravant Computer Systems, Inc. ("Paravant"). Duke sold a significant amount of securities in the Paravant IPO to accounts controlled by individuals who had agreed to sell those securities immediately back to Duke. Duke's registered representatives, including Honigman, pre-solicited aftermarket purchases for Paravant common stock and warrants before Duke had completed its participation in the Paravant IPO. Duke then repurchased the Paravant securities from the controlled accounts and sold them to Duke's customers at artificially inflated prices following the commencement of aftermarket trading. Honigman also used fraudulent sales practices to create significant demand for Paravant securities in the immediate aftermarket of Paravant's IPO.

IV.

Based on the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate in the public interest and for the protection of investors to impose the sanctions specified in Honigman's Offer, and

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Honigman be, and hereby is, barred from association with any broker or dealer.

By the Commission.
