pleading is finally disposed of or, if the order is earlier
terminated by the commissioner, until the order is so terminated.
(c) If the commissioner finds that the factors set forth in
paragraphs (1) and (2) are true with respect to a subject person or
former subject person of a subject institution or holding company,
the commissioner may, without any prior notice or opportunity to be
heard, issue an order suspending or removing the subject person or
former subject person from his or her office, if any, with the

commissioner:
(1) That the subject person or former subject person has been
finally convicted of any crime of the type described in paragraph (1)
of subdivision (a). For purposes of this paragraph, an agreement to

to impair public confidence in the subject institution.
(d) The fact that any subject person of a subject institution
charged with a crime of the type described in paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) is not finally convicted of the crime does not
preclude the commissioner from issuing an order regarding the subject
person pursuant to any other provision of this article.
