Dr. Hollier states his office did timely respond to the NOD-amend; however, he has no proof that the fax transmission was received. A fax search was conducted. The only fax received during that time period was on May 1, 2014 filing his 2013 Tier 2.1 annual pfd. Dr. Hollier was requested to amend his 2012 pfd to disclose income from the LSU Health Sciences by exact dollar figure.
