RE:
Consideration of an Application for Rehearing in connection with a $8,000 Order against AlvinChris Declouette, an unsuccessful candidate for Representative District 40 in the Febrmry 24,2007 election who has failed to pay assessed late fees for the late filing of campaign financereports.
Relevant Statutory Provisions, Advisory Opinions:
Comments:
Application for Rehearing was sent to Mr. Declouette on February 2,201,0.
The Board issued an Order at its November 13, 2008 meeting making the late fees totaling$8,000 assessed againtMr. Declouette final and absolute. Rule 1018 states that any person
aggrieved may apply to the Board for a rehearing in writing within 10 days from the date of theBoard's decision becomes final. A copy of the Order was sent to Mr. Declouette's residenoe onNovember 17,2008. Since the late fee was never paid, the Board then filed suit with the 19thJudicial District Court on December 18, 2009. Mr. Declouette contacted the Board, requesting a
rehearing. The request is untimely. This matter is now before the 19th Judicial District Court and
was scheduled for a Rule to Show Cause Hearing on February 8, 2010. The staffcontinued thehearing pending the outcome of his application for a rehearing. On January 19,2010, The Boardreceived correspondence from Mr. Declouette, urherein he requested that he be allowed td make
$100 monthly payments on the $8,000 assessed late fees. At this time one payment of $100 has
been received. (AMA)
Recommendations:
Deny the request for rehearing.
