32-1-904. Temporary cease and desist order -- grounds for issuance -- effective date -- injunctive relief. (1) Whenever the director determines that any violation or threatened violation or any unsafe or unsound practice specified in the notice of charges served upon the institution pursuant to 32-1-902(1) or the continuation thereof is likely to cause insolvency or substantial dissipation of assets or earnings of the institution or is likely to otherwise seriously prejudice the interests of its depositors, the director may issue a temporary order requiring the institution to cease and desist from such violation or practice. Such order shall contain a statement of the facts constituting the alleged violation or unsafe or unsound practice. The order is effective upon service upon the institution and unless set aside, limited, or suspended by a court in proceedings authorized by subsection (2) of this section remains effective and enforceable until the completion of the administrative proceedings pursuant to such notice of charges, until the director dismisses the charges specified in the notice, or until a cease and desist order which is issued against the institution after the hearing becomes effective.
     (2) Within 10 days after the institution has been served with a temporary cease and desist order, the institution may apply to the district court for the county in which the home office of the institution is located for an injunction setting aside, limiting, or suspending the enforcement, operation, or effectiveness of the order pending the completion of the administrative proceedings held pursuant to the notice of charges served upon the institution under 32-1-902(1). The court has jurisdiction to issue the injunction.
