   Charles W. Schuerman ("Respondent"), having been advised of his right to a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), detailing the violations of law or regulation, unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty alleged to have been committed by the Respondent individually and as an institution-affiliated party in his capacity as a director, officer, controlling stockholder and/or person participating in the conduct of the affairs of Farmers Bank of Clatonia, Clatonia, Nebraska ("Bank"), by reason of which the Bank has suffered or will probably suffer financial loss or other damage, the interests of the Bank's depositors have been or could be prejudiced, and/or the Respondent has received financial gain or other benefit, and which involved personal dishonesty on the part of Respondent and/or demonstrated Respondent's willful or continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the Bank; and having been further {{2-28-93 p.C-2936}}advised of his right to a hearing on the alleged charges under section 8(e) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e), and the FDIC Rules of Practice and Procedure, 12 C.F.R. Part 308, and having waived those rights, Respondent entered into a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AND PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, dated June 24, 1992, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any violations of law or regulation, unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, personal dishonesty, or financial gain or other benefit, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF REMOVAL FROM OFFICE AND PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe that:
   (a) The Bank is a "State nonmember bank" as that term is defined in section 3(e)(2) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1813(e)(2), and pursuant to section 3(q)(3) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1813(q)(3), he FDIC is the "appropriate Federal banking agency" to issue an order under section 8(e) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1818(e), against the Respondent;
   (b) Respondent has engaged or participated in violations of law or regulation, and/or unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty as an institution-affiliated party of the Bank;
   (c) By reason of such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, (i) the Bank has suffered or will probably suffer financial loss or other damage, (ii) the interests of the Bank's depositors have been or could be prejudiced, and/or (iii) Respondent has received financial gain or other benefit; and
   (d) Such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty involve Respondent's personal dishonesty and/or demonstrate his willful or continuing disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank.
   The FDIC, therefore, accepts the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issues the following:

PARTICIPATION
