RE:
Waiver request submitted by Lisa Ray Diggs, Clerk / 2nd City Court / Orleans Parish, regarding a $2500 late fee assessed for filing her 2022 Tier 2 annual pfd 145 days late.
Facts:
Lisa R. Diggs failed to file the 2022 PFD on time because she had issues with her tax return that needed to be taken care of with her accountant. She has since resolved said problems, and her federal and state returns have been filed. In the future, she does not foresee any issues with submitting her disclosures on time. Ms. Diggs would like to request a waiver of the late fee.
