Re: Appeal of OCF Order in Investigation 03-04
Dear Mr. Wilson:
As I stated at the April 9, 2004, meeting of the Board, I formally
appeal the Order issued by the Office of Campaign Finance in Investigation
03-04. Under DCMR 3, Sec. 3705.4, "any party affected by any order of
the Director [of the Office of Campaign Finance], under §3705.3, may
obtain review of the order by filing, with the Board of Elections and
Ethics, a request." As the complainant in this matter, I am a party
and am adversely affected by the decision in the case.
I am asking for an expedited hearing on this matter, and would also ask
the Board to instruct the Office of Campaign Finance not to issue any
interpretive opinion on any matter related to this case until a final
decision has been made in the case, either by the Board of Elections and
Ethics or, should the Board's decision be appealed by either party, by the
Court of Appeals.
Sincerely,
Dorothy A. Brizill
