In the Matter of

Individually and as an

Party of
NICOLLET STATE BANK
NICOLLET, MINNESOTA
(Insured State Nonmember Bank)
ORDER OF PROHIBITION (Insured
State Nonmember Bank)
FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   John N. Maiers ("Respondent"), having been advised of his right to a NOTICE OF INTENTION TO PROHIBIT FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("NOTICE") issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor- {{11-30-92 p.C-1315}}poration ("FDIC") detailing the unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, demonstrating continuing disregard for safety and soundness alleged to have been committed by Respondent individually and as an institution-affiliated party, in his capacity as director, officer and person participating in the conduct of the affairs of Nicollet State Bank, Nicollet, Minnesota ("Insured Institution"), resulting in substantial financial loss or other damage to the Insured Institution, and having been further 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 Part 308 of the FDIC's Rules of Practice and Procedures, 12 C.F.R. Part 308, waived those rights and 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, dated April 30, 1991, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, Respondent consented to the issuance of an ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM FURTHER PARTICIPATION ("ORDER") by the FDIC.
   The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe that:

       (a) respondent has engaged or participated in unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of his fiduciary duty as a director and officer of the Insured Institution;
       (b) by reason of such practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, the Insured Institution has suffered or will probably suffer substantial financial loss or other damage; and
       (c) such practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate Respondent's continued disregard for the safety or soundness of the Bank.
   The FDIC further determined that such practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty demonstrate Respondent's unfitness to serve as an institution-affiliated party of any insured depository institution, as defined in section 3(u) of the Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1813(u). The FDIC, therefore, accepted the CONSENT AGREEMENT and issued the following:

       (c) vote for a director of any institution specified in the said section 8(e)(7)(A) of the Act, or serve or act as an institution-affiliated party.
   This ORDER shall become effective 10 days after the date of its issuance.
   The provisions of this ORDER shall 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.
