			  Abstract
			  
			      
We prove that for any dynamical system (X,Σ, m, T), the maximal
operator defined by N*f(x)=supn(1/n)#{1≦
i:(f(Tix)/i)≧ (1/n)} is almost everywhere finite for f
in the Orlicz class Lloglog L(X), extending a result of Assani.
As an application, a weighted return times theorem is also
proved.
