The following excerpt is from Nees v. Securities and Exchange Commission, 414 F.2d 211 (9th Cir. 1969):
While we are not unmindful of the seriousness of the problem alleged, cf. Spevack v. Klein, 385 U.S. 511, 87 S.Ct. 625, 17 L.Ed.2d 574 (1967), it is the opinion of the Commission, not the examiner, we are reviewing and since that body took no notice of petitioner's refusal, we see no prejudice to him.
