| Waiver request submitted by Jesse Phillip Terrell, Jr., District Attorney - 9th Judicial District Court, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2014 Tier 2 Annual PFD 84 days late. |
|
Mr. Terrell acknowledges receipt of the Notice of Delinquency requesting that he file a Tier 2 Annual PFD covering 2014. He states that he responded and filed the required PFD on October 29, 2015. A request was made to the IT Division asking if a disclosure statement was filed via fax on October 29, 2015 from 318-625-3383. IT found 17 blank pages were received from that number on that date. As such, it appears that Mr. Terrell attempted to timely fax the report. Since the fax was blank, staff had no way to contact Mr. Terrell of his mistake.
