RE:
Waiver request submitted by Walter P. Reed, District Attorney -22nd Judicial District, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for not filing his 2014 Tier 2 Annual PFD as of this date.
Facts:
Attorney Richard Simmons (on Mr. Reed's behalf) states that he is representing Mr. Reed in connection with a criminal indictment where the trial began on April 18, 2016. He also states that portions of the indictment relate to IRS violations and other financial allegations. The pfd has not been filed. Further, his last report, the 2015 Tier 2 pfd, has also not been filed. It is the Board's practice to not consider waiver requests when a filer has failed to file his pfd.
