Re:  Election Office Case No. P-918-LU480-SCE

 

Gentlemen:

 

James P. Hoffa, a candidate for general president, filed a pre-election protest pursuant to Article XIV, Section 2(b) of the Rules for the 1995-1996 IBT International Union Delegate and Officer Election (Rules).  Mr. Hoffa alleged that Chuck Sheppard, a Local Union 480 steward, threatened to kill Local Union 480 member Tim Aldred because of Mr. Aldreds support of Mr. Hoffa candidacy.  Mr. Hoffa now advises the Election Office that he wishes to withdraw his protest.

 

The Election Officer, finding that the withdrawal effectuates the purpose of the Rules, permits the protest to be WITHDRAWN.

 

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:
