| Waiver request submitted by Billy Joe Ellingburg, a member of the Morehouse Parish School Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2011 Tier 3 annual pfd 126 days late. |

Mr. Ellingburg states that after he received the Notice of Delinquency he faxed his report on May 1, 2013. He assumed his fax went through.
Our records indicate that Mr. Ellingburg did fax something on May 1, 2013, but it was blank pages. Staff attempted to fax a response back to him stating that the submission was blank, but the fax would not go through. Documentation of these actions are included in the waiver request.
