Waiver request submitted by Russel Landeche, constable for St. John the Baptist Parish, regarding a $2,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2010 Tier 2 annual pfd 382 days late. |

Mr. Landeche's wife helps him fill out his forms. She has been legally diabled since 1990 with Multiple Sclerosis. Ms. Landeche states that she tried to comply timley. It appears that Ms. Landeche confused some of the filing requirements with the annual filing requirement with the Legislative Auditor's regarding the finances of his office.
