In the Matter of
ROBERT BRUEGGEMEYER,
individually and as an
institution-affiliated party of
ALVARADO STATE BANK
ALVARADO, TEXAS
(Insured State Nonmember Bank)
ORDER OF PROHIBITION FROM
FURTHER PARTICIPATION

   Robert Brueggemeyer ("Respondent"), individually, and as an institution-affiliated party of Alvarado State Bank, Alvarado, Texas ("Bank"), 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 of reason of which the Bank has suffered financial loss or other damage, and/or that the interests of depositors have been or could be prejudiced, and/or that Respondent has received financial gain or other benefit, and which demonstrate that such violations, practices, and/or breaches evidenced Respondent's personal dishonesty and/or willful or continuing disregard for the safety and soundness of the Bank, 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, and having waived those rights, 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, dated May 9, 1991, whereby solely for the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any violations of law or regulation, any unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or any 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:
   (i) Respondent has engaged or participated in violations of law or regulation, unsafe or unsound banking practices, and/or breaches of his fiduciary duty as an institution-affiliated party of the Bank;
   (ii) By reason of such violations, practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty, the Bank has suffered financial loss or other damage, the interests of the Bank's depositors have been or could be prejudiced, and/or Respondent received financial gain; and
   (iii) Such violations, practices, and/or breaches of fiduciary duty involved Respondent's personal dishonesty and/or willful 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 evidence Respondent's unfitness to serve as an officer,, director, participant in the conduct of the affairs, or as an institution-affiliated party of the Bank, or any other insured depository institution, 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:
