Administrative Order: In the Matter of Sandra Santay

STIPULATION AND CONSENT TO ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER OF PROHIBITION

Sandra Santay (“Santay”), former employee or institution-affiliated party of Lakeside Federal Credit union in Hammond, Indiana, and the National Credit Union Administration Board (“NCUAB”), acting by and through its Counsel, hereby makes this Stipulation and Consent to Issuance of an Order of Prohibition (“Stipulation”).

Santay and the NCUAB hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

1. Consideration.  The NCUAB is of the opinion that grounds exist to initiate an administrative prohibition action against Santay pursuant to Section 206(g) of the Federal Credit Union Act (“FCUA”), 12 U.S.C. § 1786(g).  Santay, without admitting or denying that said grounds exist (except those set forth as to Jurisdiction in paragraph 2), desires to avoid the time, cost and expense of administrative litigation.  Accordingly, Santay consents to the issuance by NCUAB of an Order of Prohibition (“Order”) in consideration of the settlement, compromise and resolution of all potential administrative claims and charges that have been or might be asserted by NCUAB against Santay arising out of her position with Lakeside Federal Credit Union.
2. Jurisdiction.  Pursuant to its authority under Section 206 of the FCUA, 12 U.S.C. § 1786, the NCUAB is the appropriate Federal agency to maintain an administrative action against an “institution-affiliated party.”  Santay is an “institution-affiliated party” within the meaning of Section 206(r) of the FCUA, 12 U.S.C. § 1786(r).  Accordingly, Santay admits the jurisdiction of the NCUAB over her and over the subject matter of this action.
3. Finality.  Santay consents to the issuance of the Order, and agrees to comply with all of its terms.  The Order complies with all requirements of law, and is issued pursuant to Section 206 of the FCUA, 12 U.S.C. § 1786.  Upon its issuance, the Order is final, effective and fully enforceable by the NCUAB.  The laws of the United States of America govern the construction and validity of this Stipulation and the Order, and the section and paragraph headings do not affect the interpretation of this Stipulation or the Order.
4. Waivers.  Santay waives her right to an administrative hearing provided by Section 206(g)(4) of the FCUA, 12 U.S.C. § 1786(g)(4).  Santay further waives her right to seek judicial review of the Order, or otherwise challenge the validity or legality of the Order.

WHEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, Santay and the NCUAB execute this Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of an Order of Prohibition.
