Lolita S. Porter would like to apologize for the delay, as she understands the importance of time. It was an oversight, and her workload in September was particularly hectic as she prepared for two murder trials. She serves as a victim advocate. Ms. Porter intends to be more mindful of deadlines in the future. Please waive the assessed late fee.
