| Request that the Board waive the $2,500 and $900 campaign finance late fees assessed against Tracey Flemings-Davillier, a candidate for Judge, Criminal District Court, Section B, Orleans Parish in the November 4, 2014 Election, whose 180-P and 90-Pcampaign finance disclosure reports were filed 63 and 9 days late. |

In connection with his request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, Mr. Davillier, chairman for Citizens to Elect Tracey Flemings-Davillier, requests a waiver of the late fees due to the committee's confusion regarding the filing requirements. He was unaware that a filing was required because the campaign had not spent over $2,500 for this election cycle. He states, as a matter of fact, the campaign had not spent any funds for the reporting period. Prior to that, an annual report had recently been filed so he was not aware that a 180-P Report was required. Once he received clarification that a filing was indeed required the reports were subsequently filed.
