| Request that the board waive the late $780 fee assessed against Jonathan Liberto, a candidate for Constable, 1st Justice Court, Jefferson Parish, in the October 4, 2008 election, for filing his 2014 supplemental campaign finance disclosure report 13 days late. |

In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the report, Ann Degruise, report preparer for Jonathan Liberto, states that the 2014 supplemental report was timely filed on the old Leaders 2.0 system and mailed on February 15, 2015. She says her office was not aware that the report could not be mailed until Mr. Liberto received notice saying his report was late. He explained to the IT Department that he did not have access to the new Leaders web based program that became effective on December 31, 2014. He was told to submit the report using the old Leaders 2.0 system and it was accepted on March 3, 2015.
