Re: Fulton Bank Class Action & Shareholder Complaints
Dear Dianne:
I hope this letter finds you well; it has been awhile since we have communicated to one another.
I am a shareholder of record of Fulton Financial Corporation (Fulton) since July of 2005. Fulton is
listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Since the subprime fiasco and the credit crises I have been
watching attentively at the fallout of Fultons problem with an acquisition a few years ago of Resource
Bank, and what I consider a negligent Board of Directors. Resource bank has been the source of
approximately $24,000,000 of losses to Fulton shareholders. More losses may be ensuing. In December
of 2007, Fulton had expensed $900,000 to review the Resource problems and the write-downs of the $24
million dollars.
On July 11, 2007 I had posted a message on the Yahoo Finance Message Board for Fulton stock
investors and traders that suggested that any dissatisfied shareholders should collaborate if they feel so
compelled to pursue litigation or a class action lawsuit. There were many investors posting their
dissatisfaction with Fulton senior management on the Resource Bank issue and the last few years of
declining stock value. One poster responded with an affirmative message the she was willing to
contribute several thousand dollars toward a class action lawsuit, and acknowledged that she know of
other other large shareholders that are willing to contribute. That message is attached.
On December 13th, 2007 I personally had delivered a letter to the Fulton Board of Directors and
requested the resignation of R. Scott Smith, Jr., for negligence and misconduct. The Board of Directors
responded in a letter dated December 28, 2007, which is attached. They have been requesting that I put
my allegations with any supporting evidence in writing.
In the letter of December 28th, 2007 they stated: Additionally, I would like to request that you
please provide the "evidence of negligence, incompetence, and possible criminal conduct within the Fulton
Financial Corporation" you mention in your letter, or a summary of the evidence supporting your claims,
so Fulton can fully evaluate your claims.
I have responded in a letter, which is attached, and in essence told Fulton that I would not be able
to meet the deadline of a few weeks. Fulton responded and requested the information by January 30,
2008. I have since provided Fulton with a CD-ROM of my correspondence, research, and other related
Advanced Media Group

Page 1 of 14

January 25, 2008

files on the subject matter. I did not provide any detailed summary of the requested allegations, but
merely sent them raw data in case I was unable to deliver a summary and detail of my allegations.
Before I submit my allegations in writing, as requested, I would like an opinion from a qualified
class action attorney that may be interested in these matters. Of course, with your spectacular record as
a class action litigant, I would like to meet with you to discuss my options. Also attached is a letter from
Ms. Stephanie Carfley, of Barley Snyder, LLC, the Fulton attorney involved in these matters, stating and
answering my question of conflict regarding her past employment with your firm, RodaNast, P.C. and Joe.
Would you please contact me at your earliest convenience regarding these matters? I apologize
for the lateness in contacting you, however my own litigation schedule has been quite extensive.

With Kindest Regards,

Re:

Letter to Board of Directors and Ethics Point Report

Dear Mr. Caterbone:


I am in receipt of your letter of January 1, 2008 regarding the above referenced matters.
You raise a number of issues in your letter, to which we would like to respond.
Initially, in response to your request for verification that Barley Snyder is authorized to
act on behalf of Fulton with regard to these matters, I direct you to the November 14> 2007 letter
from R. Scott Smith, Jr. to you, in which he states: "If you have any matters that you wish to
communicate, please direct them to our counsel: Stephanie Carfley, Barley Snyder, LLC ...."
The role of Barley Snyder in the context of the claims made by you in the December 13, 2007
letter and the December 21, 2007 Ethics Point Report is to advise Fulton and serve as a conduit
for communications between yourself and Fulton. Please be assured though that the actual
investigation of the claims will be conducted by Fulton itself. In light of the above, we again
request that you forward the information and documents supporting your claims to this office and
we will ensure that it is shared with Fulton. If you still have concerns about providing the
requested evidence to Barley Snyder, you may, as previously mentioned, enter the details of your
Ethics Point Report and upload documents and information related to your report directly on the
Ethics Point website. Again though, we ask that you upload only those documents that directly
relate to the claims made in your Ethics Point Report and/or the December 13th letter.
In your letter, you also reference your extensive litigation schedule and the need for
additional time to provide the documentation referenced in your December 13th letter and your
Ethics Point Report. While the allegations made by you in those communications are of a very
serious nature and Fulton would like to investigate these claims as soon as possible, Fulton is
willing to extend the time period for you to produce evidence supporting your allegations until
January 31, 2008. That said, however, in the event that evidence in support of your claims is not
received by January 31 st, Fulton will deem your allegations to be unsubstantiated and the matters
will be closed. This would not preclude you from renewing the allegations in the future if and
when you provide evidence that directly supports the claims.

Finally, you indicate in your letter that you will provide the documentation addressed in
the Ethics Point Report, and in the letters to Fulton. In order to most efficiently and effectively
investigate your allegations, at your earliest convenience, kindly advise as to whether or not the
"evidence of negligence, incompetence, and possible criminal conduct" you mention in your
letter is the same evidence supporting the claims of "misconduct or inappropriate behavior"
made in your Ethics Point Report.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation with regard to the above. Should
you have any questions, please let me know.
Very truly yours,

Stephanie Garftey

Re:

Letter of December 28, 2007 re: Letter to Board of Directors and Ethics Point Report

Dear Ms. Carfley:


I am in receipt of your letter of December 28, 2007. As you have confirmed, on Monday December 31,
2007 I sent via email my proof of ownership of Fulton Financial Corporation stock.
I will address your letter and your demands. First, I would definitely need some verification from Fulton
Financial Corporation that authorized you to author that letter. I have had recent direct communications
from Mr. R. Scott Smith, Jr.,.
Secondly, I would require that I deal with these issues with other counsel outside of Barley Snyder, LLC,
or a member of the Board of Directors. I will not communicate these issues with any member of Barley
Snyder, LLC due to the past problems and bad faith efforts to litigate on behalf of Fulton Bank. The no
trespass notice that was initiated by both Mr. Shawn Long and Mr. Ronald H. Pollack were totally
unjustified and issued for the sole reason to intimidate and discredit my litigation. I do not believe that
Barley Snyder, LLC has litigated in good faith.
You must remember that I have been wronged by Fulton Bank, as far back as 1987 to the present, and
Fulton Bank has been unjustly enriched. I would love nothing more than to litigate these matters in a civil
manner, however, it is apparent that I am the only litigant that has demonstrated that objective.
Thirdly, I have had persistent problems litigating my court schedule due to the persistent barrage of
computer hacking, computer sabotage, and thefts of my personal property. I realize that these are not
your responsibilities, however as pro se, I am not able to provide the expediency in delivering documents
and evidence that other counsel enjoys. As you are aware, my litigation schedule is extensive at the
present time. I am in the midst of the appeal process of MD 879-2007, a private criminal complaint that
at the moment indirectly involves your client, Fulton Bank. Unfortunately, I must deal with the Lancaster
County District Attorneys Office and their continued disdain for misstatements and false statements
regarding the record.
I am currently in talks with the County of Lancaster to consider a mediation process to work through some
of these extraneous problems that involve thefts of my property and evidence, harassment, and the lack
of protection from law enforcement.
Of Course, at the present, Caterbone v. Lancaster County Prison, et.al., (05-2288); which Fulton Bank is a
defendant, is in the Third Circuit, and requires my attention.

I will provide the documentation that I addressed in the Ethics Point Report, and in the letters to Fulton
Financial Corporation. It just will not be within the next 2 weeks.
I would like Fulton Corporation to provide a letter authorizing Barley Snyder, LLC to negotiate the terms
and conditions of addressing your demands in the letter of December 28, 2007, and with whom they
would like to represent them, outside of Barley Snyder, LLC.
Respectfully,

Stan J. Caterbone, Pro Se

with the allegations lodged against Fulton by you.

that letter, you indicate that you are a shareholder of Fulton. At your earliest convenience, would
you kindly verify that you are, in fact, a shareholder and provide me with evidence of your status
as a current shareholder of Fulton. Additionally, I would like to request that you please provide
the "evidence of negligence, incompetence, and possible criminal conduct within the Fulton
Financial Corporation" you mention in your letter, or a summary of the evidence supporting your
claims, so Fulton can fully evaluate your claims.

allege that Fulton has engaged in "misconduct or inappropriate behavior." Fulton intends to
investigate and address your report in accordance with its existing procedures for Ethics Point
~ e ~ o r t However,
s.
in order to assess the merit and substance of your report in accordance with
these ~rocedures.Fulton will reauire the "written details" to which you allude in that report.

make this assessment. If the evidence in support of your report is the same as that to which you

We ask that you provide the requested information within the next two weeks. The
information should be forwarded to this office and we will ensure that it is shared with Fulton.

Thank you for taking a few moments to introduce yourself yesterday, as we passed on

lawsuits against Fulton Bank, some of which are still pending.

My July 11th 2007 Post In It's Entirety

13-Dec-07 07:10 pm

"We dissatisfied shareholders need to collectively collaborate and formerly propose a management
plan to the Board of Directors.
This process will accomplish several tactics toward getting the Board of Directors to listen to our
concerns. First, it will be recorded. Secondly, when and if they violate our shareholder rights, they
can be held accountable. Thirdly, it will provide all participants with a benchmark for future
litigation against the present management if they are found negligent in their respective duties. This
could include performance issues and a decline in shareholder value.
If you want to study and research how this is done, review articles about Carl Ichan. He is often
viewed as an adversary until a comparison of his proposals with future results proves that he
proposed alternatives that would have succeeded in increasing shareholder value. He will often put
the Board of Directors in a position of being greenmailed.

First of all thank you for sending your letter to the BOD. I personally don't think you will get a
response as I have also sent many letters to R. Scott Smith and did not receive any response. Personally
I would like to bring a law suit against every BOD and R. Scott Smith. I would be more than willing to
contribute a few thousand dollars to make it happen. I also know a few other large shareholders that are
willing to contribute. As you know that untill someone stops this "Little Boys Club" in Lancaster our
stock will continue to decline. They must and will be stopped if I have anything to do with it. Looking
forward to your response.
P.S. Your right on the money with your charge of negligence and incompetence which also includes
the boaard members. Thanks much
