In the Matter of
GLEN GARRETT,
individually and as an
institution-affiliated party of
FIRST STATE BANK OF PURDY
PURDY, MISSOURI
(Insured State Nonmember Bank)
ORDER
FDIC-94-141k
FDIC-99-032B
   The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") conducted an examination of the First State Bank of Purdy, Purdy, Missouri ("Bank") in September of 1991 ("1991 FDIC Examination"). Based upon the findings of the 1991 FDIC Examination and certain alleged misconduct by Glen Garrett ("Respondent"), individually, and in his capacity as an institution-affiliated party of the Bank, the FDIC issued formal charges against Respondent in 1995 and 1996 pursuant to section 8(i) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("Act"), 12 U.S.C.§1818(i), for the assessment of a civil money penalty in the amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000).
   On September 8, 1995, the FDIC issued a Notice of Assessment of a Civil Money Penalty ("Notice of Assessment") for the assessment of a "First Tier" civil money penalty. The Notice of Assessment alleged, inter alia, that Respondent had engaged in dishonest banking activities involving making a false statement in an Officer's Questionnaire submitted as part of an official examination of the Bank, and other improper activities involving concealment and circumvention, all of which related to alleged violations of Regulation O, 12 C.F.R. Part 215.
   On April 8, 1996, the FDIC issued an Amended Notice of Assessment of Civil Money Penalty ("Amended Notice of Assessment") for the assessment of a "Second Tier" civil money penalty. The Amended Notice of Assessment charged that the same alleged activities recited in the Notice of Assessment, namely, the dishonest false statement, concealment and circumvention, also constituted: (1) unsafe or unsound banking practices recklessly engaged in by Respondent, (2) breaches of Respondent's fiduciary duties, and (3) a pattern of misconduct, which resulted in pecuniary gain or other benefit to Respondent.
   Respondent denied all of the allegations in the Notice of Assessment and Amended Notice of Assessment, raised certain affirmative defenses charging that the FDIC had engaged in regulatory misconduct, and requested a formal administrative hearing regarding such charges. Such administrative hearing was conducted intermittently in 1996, 1997, and 1998 before an administrative law judge and has been in adjournment since April of 1998.
   In the interest of avoiding the conduct of further adversarial proceedings, Respondent and a representative of the FDIC Legal Division executed a STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") whereby:
   (a) Respondent, solely for the purpose of concluding this proceeding and without admitting or denying the alleged misconduct in the formal charges issued against him by FDIC, agreed to treat the allegations in the Notice of Assessment and Amended Notice of Assessment as charges made pursuant to section 8(b) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(b), and consented to the issuance of an ORDER by the FDIC pursuant to section 8(b) of the Act; and
   (b) FDIC, having denied the allegations of regulatory misconduct made by Respondent, solely for the purpose of concluding this proceeding and without a determination of such allegations on the merits, agreed to treat the allegations in the Notice of Assessment and Amended Notice of Assessment as charges made pursuant to section 8(b) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(b), agreed to withdraw and dismiss with prejudice all allegations charged against Respondent in the Notice of Assessment and Amended Notice of Assessment pursuant to section 8(i) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(i), and agreed to terminate the administrative hearing pertaining to such charges currently in adjournment.
