In the Matter of
GEORGE A. MULLINO, SR
individually, and as an
institutionally affiliated party of
HOME STATE BANK,
ROCHESTER, TEXAS
(Insured State Nonmember Bank)
ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION
FDIC-01-047e
George A. Mullino, Sr. ("Respondent") has been advised of
the right to receive a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER
PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") detailing the violations of law/regulations,
unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty
for which an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION
("ORDER") may issue, and has been further advised of the 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's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 12 C.F.R. Part 308. Having
waived those rights, the Respondent entered into a STIPULATION AND
CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER
PARTICIPATION ("CONSENT AGREEMENT") with a representative of the
Legal Division of the FDIC, whereby solely for the purpose of this
proceeding and without admitting or denying any violations, unsafe or
unsound banking practices, and/or any breaches of fiduciary duty,
Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER by the FDIC.
The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe
that:
(a) The Respondent has engaged or participated in violations,
unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty
as an institution-affiliated party of Home State Bank, Rochester,
Texas;
(b) By reason of such violations, practices and/or breaches of
fiduciary duty, 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 Respondent received financial gain or
other benefit; and
(c) Such violations, practices and/or breaches of fiduciary duty
involve personal dishonesty on the part of the Respondent or
demonstrate the Respondent's willful and/or continuing disregard for
the safety or soundness of the Bank.
The FDIC further determined that such violations, practices and/or
breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate the Respondent's unfitness to
serve as a director, officer, person participating in the conduct of
the affairs or as an institution-affiliated party of the Bank, any
other insured depository institution, or any other agency or
organization enumerated in section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, 12 U.S.C.
§1818(e)(7)(A).
The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the
following:
ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION
1. George A. Mullino, Sr., is hereby, without the prior written
approval of the FDIC and the appropriate Federal financial institutions
regulatory agency, as that term is defined in section 8(e)(7)(D) of the

[.1]1. (a) participating in any manner in the conduct of the affairs of any
financial institution or organization enumerated in section 8(e)(7)(A)
of the Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(e)(7)(A);
[.2]2. (b) soliciting, procuring, transferring, attempting to transfer,
voting, or attempting to vote any proxy, consent or authorization with
respect to any voting rights in any financial institution enumerated in

(c) violating any voting agreement previously approved by the
appropriate Federal banking agency; or
(d) voting for a director, or serving or acting as an
institution-affiliated party.
2. This ORDER will become effective upon its issuance by the FDIC. The
provisions of this ORDER will remain effective and enforceable except
to the extent that, and until such time as, any provision of this ORDER
shall have been modified, terminated, suspended, or set aside by the
FDIC.
Pursuant to delegated authority.
Dated this 4th day of December, 2002.
