Waiver request submitted by James R. LeLeux, Sr., Livestock Brand Commission, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2022 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 238 days late. |
|
In January 2022, James R. LeLeaux, Sr. was diagnosed with prostate cancer that spread outside his prostate. He was prescribed radiation and hormone treatments, which affected his memory. On 11/08/2023, he received the FTF notice. After thoroughly researching, he discovered that he inadvertently filed the 2021 disclosure instead of the 2022. Mr. LeLeaux is proud to have served on the Board, but due to the adverse effects of the treatments, he resigned from the Louisiana Livestock Brand Commission Board last year. The 2022 statement was submitted on 07/15/2024 with the $1,500 payment. Please waive the assessed late fee.
