13-10-206. Temporary suspension order; stay of order; enforcement.

(a) If the commissioner believes the actions of the officer or director pose an immediate threat to the safety and soundness of a Wyoming financial institution or to the interests of the depositors, creditors or shareholders of the financial institution, the commissioner may suspend the officer or director pending final action on the proposed removal order issued pursuant to W.S. 13-10-205. The temporary suspension order shall be in writing and shall be served upon the officer or director together with the notice of intent to issue a removal order as provided in W.S. 13-10-205(b). The temporary order shall take effect upon service. The officer or director may apply to the district court for the county in which the Wyoming financial institution is located for a stay of the temporary suspension order. The application for stay shall be given precedence over other cases pending in court and shall in every way be expedited. The court shall grant the stay only if the officer or director shows he will be irreparably harmed unless the stay issues and there is a substantial likelihood he will prevail on the merits. The temporary suspension order shall remain in effect until the commissioner issues the final removal order, the board dismisses the proposed removal order or the court stays enforcement of the temporary suspension order.

(b) On or after the effective date of a temporary suspension order issued pursuant to this section, the attorney general, upon request from the commissioner, may apply to the district court for the county in which the Wyoming financial institution is located for enforcement of the temporary suspension order. The application for enforcement shall be given precedence over other cases pending in court and shall in every way be expedited.
