Re: Election Office Case No. E-097-LU908-EOH
Gentlemen:
By letter received by the Election Officer on February 12, 1996, Ken Lochtefeld protested the eligibility of Robert Neu to run for delegate to the International convention. On February 12, 1996, Mr. Neu informed the Election Officer that he had withdrawn from the election for delegate. As a result, Mr. Neu is no longer a candidate, and any allegation concerning his eligibility is, therefore, moot. Accordingly, Mr. Lochtefeld’s protest is DENIED.
Any interested party not satisfied with this determination may request a hearing before the Election Appeals Master within one day of receipt of this letter. The parties are reminded that, absent extraordinary circumstances, no party may rely upon evidence that was not presented to the Office of the Election Officer in any such appeal. Requests for a hearing shall be made in writing and shall be served on:
Kenneth Conboy, Esq.
Latham & Watkins
885 Third Avenue, Suite 1000
New York, NY 10022
Fax (212) 751-4864

Sincerely,
Barbara Zack Quindel
Election Officer
