RE: Your Requests to Re-Designate Candiacy

To Whom It May Concern:

Your office has contacted me on two (2) separate occasions asking me to re-designate mycandidacy from Group 12 to another Group that is up for election this year, or to withdraw mycandidacy altogether.

This morning, as part of the second request, I was informed that my name has beenremoved from the website showing my candidacy for Judge. While your office informed me thatthis does not affect my candidacy, it does affect the ability for individuals to confirm that I am, infact, able to campaign. Therefore, I am requesting that the Division of Elections place my nameback on the website today and place "not designated" where the Group number would be.

In addition and most importantly, I am requesting that the Division of Elections confirmin writing that I am required to re-designate the Group of candidacy or withdraw my candidacy,and the reason why Group 12 is no longer open. As the qualifying period commences April 28,2014, time is ofthe essence and this information and rationale are needed by this afternoon.

I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this is causing your office. Thank you foryour attention to this matter.

With Respect,

Da . Trotti

AFFIDAVIT OF DAVID P. TROTTI

BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, personally appeared David P. Trotti, who

being duly sworn, declared as follows:

I, David P. Trotti, on April 1, 2014 submitted the necessary qualifying forms to qualify as

a candidate within Group 12 of the Fourth Judicial Circuit of the state of Florida ("Group 12").

The papers were properly filed with Florida Division of Elections, a subdivision of the Florida

Department of State. On April 3, 2014, I received a letter from the Division of Elections

acknowledging receipt of his qualifying papers understanding that the qualifying period had not

officially begun. At approximately the same time I was added to the Division of Elections

website and listed as a candidate in Group 12. On April 25, 2014 at 5:32PM I received an email

from the Division of Elections stating:

"Dear Mr. Trotti, Judge Donald Moran, 4th Judicial Circuit, Group 12, has submitted his

resignation and it has been accepted by the Governor. As a result, the vacancy created

will be filled by appointment by the Governor and this seat is will not be up for the 2014

election. As we discussed, you will need to withdraw your candidacy or submit a new

DSDE 9 designating a different group no later than 12 noon on May 2, 2014. Please let

me know if you need additional information."

Prior to the email, I received two phone calls from the Division of Elections demanding

that I switch my candidacy to a different group. During the second call, on April 24, 2014, I

requested a written explanation for the closing of the group. Additionally, he followed the verbal

request with a written request sent to the Division of Elections April 24, 2014. I was removed as

a judicial candidate from the Division of Elections website.

Group 12 of the Fourth Judicial Circuit is currently occupied by the Honorable Donald

Moran, Jr.. The Qualifying period for Judicial Candidates for the Fourth Judicial Circuit of

Florida is scheduled to conclude at noon on May 2, 2014. All judicial candidates are required to

submit their qualifying papers and filing fee on or before noon May 2, 2014. Judicial Elections

are scheduled to occur in August 2014 and November 2014 (if necessary). All successful

candidates are scheduled to take office Monday January 5, 2015.
