Mr. Williams stated as follows:
Mr. Williams is requesting a waiver and states that the past few months have been extremely busy and stressful. He states the $2,500 late fee assessment for failure to amend would be a "great financial strain" for him since he pays his daughter's college tuition and her living expenses. He stated that not filing was an oversight and pledges to make every effort to ensure filing late does not happen in the future.
