October 7, 1999

President and CEO

Dear Tom:

I'm following up on our earlier telephone conversation concerning Pharmacia &
Upjohn's decision relating to Article 2.7 of the License and Research
Collaboration Agreement between Pharmacia & Upjohn and Geron Corporation
(Effective Date: April 7, 1997).

Pharmacia & Upjohn hereby notifies Geron that it wishes to extend the Research
Term and Selection Period for an additional one (1) year from the normal
termination date of April 7, 2000.

Based on internal discussions, we would like to enter into dialog with Geron, at
the earliest opportunity, concerning the future direction of the collaboration.
This discussion would involve further resource allocations at Pharmacia & Upjohn
and Geron to maximize the likelihood of identifying an acceptable telomerase
inhibitor candidate for development consideration. This discussion would also
include the possibility of extending the agreement for up to one year beyond the
one-year extension referred to above.

Kind regards and best wishes.

Sincerely,

/s/ DOUGLAS R. MORTON, JR.

BOARD OF GOVERNORS

OF THE

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20551

DIVISION OF CONSUMER AND

COMMUNITY AFFAIRS

CA 21-6

March 29, 2021

TO THE OFFICERS AND MANAGERS IN CHARGE OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS 

SECTIONS AND INSTITUTIONS SUPERVISED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE:

SUBJECT: Suspension of Regulation D Examination Procedures

Applicability: This letter is relevant for all institutions supervised by the Federal Reserve, 

including those with $10 billion or less in consolidated assets.

On April 28, 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (Board) published an 

interim final rule1 to amend Regulation D (Reserve Requirements of Depository Institutions) to 

delete the six-per-month limit on convenient transfers from the “savings deposit” definition. The 

interim final rule allows, but does not require, financial institutions to suspend enforcement of 

the six-transfer limit and to allow their customers to make an unlimited number of convenient 

transfers and withdrawals from their savings deposits. 

In response to this regulatory change, the Board is joining other FFIEC agencies in 

suspending its consumer compliance examiners’ use of the Regulation D Examination 

Procedures. With removal of the limit on convenient transfers from savings deposits, financial 

institutions that decide to suspend enforcement of that six-transfer limit no longer need to 

monitor savings deposit account transaction activity to track the number of convenient transfers, 

notify customers who exceed the maximum number of transfers, or close savings deposit 

accounts that repeatedly exceed that maximum. In addition, customers of those institutions will 

receive the benefit of more convenient access to their funds. 

Regardless of whether a financial institution intends to allow customers to make 

unlimited transfers and withdrawals from savings deposits, financial institutions must comply 

with the Truth in Savings Act’s implementing regulation, Regulation DD, which requires certain 

disclosures for deposit accounts. For example, Regulation DD requires that fees and transaction 

limitations be disclosed at account opening. Any subsequent changes to these terms that 

adversely affect consumers must also be disclosed at least 30 days prior to the effective date of 

1 85 FR 23445 (Apr. 28, 2020).

the change. Given these Regulation DD disclosure requirements and their related examination 

procedures, suspension of the Regulation D Examination Procedures should reduce financial 

institutions’ compliance burden without any reduction in consumer financial protection. 

Reserve Banks are asked to distribute this letter to the supervised institutions in their 

districts and to appropriate supervisory staff. Questions regarding this letter may be sent via the 

Board’s public website.

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

 

No. 04-50137

Summary Calendar

 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

BETHANY MELLISSA MATLOCK, 

also known as Bethany Mellissa Stratford,

Defendant-Appellant.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. W-03-CR-68-ALL

--------------------

Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Bethany Mellissa Matlock appeals a jury conviction for drug

trafficking and related firearms offenses. She contends that the

evidence was insufficient to prove that she actively employed a

firearm in relation to the drug-trafficking offense.

Contrary to Matlock’s contentions, the Government was not

required to prove active employment of the firearm, but only that

is was possessed in furtherance of the drug-trafficking crime. 
No. 04-50137

-2-

See 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A); United States v. Ceballos-Torres,

218 F.3d 409, 413 & n.5 (5th Cir. 2000). 

Because Matlock did not move for a judgment of acquittal,

this court reviews the sufficiency of the evidence “only for a

manifest miscarriage of justice--the record must be devoid of

evidence of guilt or the evidence must be so tenuous that a

conviction is shocking.” United States v. Avants, 367 F.3d 433,

449 (5th Cir. 2004). The evidence showed that a loaded handgun

was easily accessible in Matlock’s small house where drugs and

money were found and where persons were attempting to buy drugs. 

This evidence is sufficient to establish that Matlock possessed a

firearm in furtherance of the drug-trafficking offense. See

Ceballos-Torres, 218 F.3d at 414-15. 

The judgment of the district court is

AFFIRMED.
