RE:
Request that the Board waive the $2,500 late fee assessed against Roland Belsome a candidate for Judge, Court of Appeal, 4th Circuit, Orleans Parish, in the October 2, 2010 election, whose 180-P report was due by April 5, 2010 and was filed 25 days late.
Facts:
The candidate candidate was assessed a $1,500 late fee for filing an EDE-P campaign finance disclosure report 15 days late in connection with the October 4, 2008 election. The late fee was waived.

Comments:
ELECTION: October 2, 2010
TYPE OF REPORT: 180-P
DAYS LATE: 25
ASSESSED FEE: $2,500
REPORT DUE: April 5, 2010
REPORT FILED: April 30, 2010
ACTIVITY REPORTED:
$5,660 in receipts, $1429.70 in disbursements, and $19,426.23 in funds on hand
OTHER LATE FILINGS: 1

In connection with his request for a waiver of the $2,500 late fee assessed for the late filing of his 180-P campaign finance report, Roland Belsome states that his campaign hosted a fundraiser and timely filed an Annual report. A couple of contributions were made during the time period covering the 180-P report. It was at a later date when his campaign realized that donations came in during a reporting time and therefore the 180-P was immediately filed.

Recommendations:
Decline to waive based on the level of activity and the prior late filing.

Assigned Attorney: Alesia Ardoin
