RE:
Request that the board waive the $1,000 campaign finance late fee assessed against Tracey Flemings-Davillier, a candidate for Criminal District Court Judge, Orleans Parish, in the November 4, 2014 election, whose 2014 Supplemental report was filed 16 days late.
Facts:
In connection with her request that the Board waive the late fee assessed for the late filing of the reports, John Davillier, report preparer for Tracey Flemings-Davillier states that the report was not intentionally filed late and it was immediately filed upon receiving a letter from the Ethics Board on March 6, 2015. He states that it was his understanding that the final report for this election, which was filed on October 6, 2014, would be the last report with the exception of a possible annual report due at the end of 2015. He also states that the 2014 supplemental report had no expenditures or receipts.
