  • Motion to Dismiss Complaint
    PUBLIC UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 11 27 2017 _______________________________________ 588835 In the Matter of Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board, Docket No. 9374 Respondent _______________________________________ MOTION TO DISMISS COMPLAINT Pursuant to Rule 3.22 of the Commission Rules of Practice, Respondent Louisiana Real Estate Appraisers Board (“LREAB” or the “Board”), through undersigned counsel, hereby moves the Commission to dismiss the Part 3 Administrative Complaint, dated May 30, 2017. Oral argument is requested. To summarize the grounds for this Motion set forth in the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the Board states as follows: 1. The actions of the Board are State actions that are immune from federal antitrust scrutiny under Cal. Retail Liquor Dealers Assn. v. Midcal Aluminum, Inc., 445 U.S. 97, 105-06 (1980). Louisiana law clearly articulates the intent to displace competition in the market for residential real estate appraisal fees by requiring enforcement of the obligation of Appraisal Management Companies (“AMCs”) to compensate residential appraisers at “customary and reasonable” (“C&R”) rates, and the State of Louisiana actively supervises the Board’s regulatory activities. 2. Under an Executive Order issued by the Governor of the State of Louisiana on July 11, 2017, the Board has repromulgated its C&R fee rule under newly-required active supervision of the Commissioner of Administration—who has authority to approve, reject, or modify the 1 PUBLIC Board-proposed regulation—in addition to supervision by oversight subcommittees of the Louisiana Senate and House Commerce Committees and the Governor. Through this active supervision, the State of Louisiana reaffirmed that the Board’s C&R fee regulation serves Louisiana’s policy of protecting the integrity of residential mortgage appraisals by requiring that AMCs pay customary and reasonable fees for such appraisals.

  • Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994)
    Collection 93 Osborne, Ollie Tucker (1911-1994). Papers, 1927-1985 22 feet Ollie Tucker Osborne's papers detail the activities of one of Louisiana's leading advocates of women's rights during the 1970s. Ollie was extremely active in the League of Women Voters and the Evangeline ERA coalition. She attended conferences or workshops throughout the South. She was appointed to the 1977 state women's convention in Baton Rouge and was elected a state delegate to the national convention in Houston. She helped organize or coordinate a number of workshops and conferences in Louisiana on women's rights. Much of this often frenetic activity can be seen through her papers. Osborne was born in northern Louisiana and educated at Whitmore College and Louisiana State University. Just before graduation she married Louis Birk, a salesman for McGraw-Hill & Company, and moved to New York. After several false starts Osborne launched a career in public relations and advertising which she pursued for twenty years. This included some pioneering work in television advertising. Following the sudden death of Birk in 1952, Osborne returned to Louisiana where she met and married Robert Osborne, an English professor at the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now the University of Louisiana at Lafayette). During the next two decades she was busy as president of Birk & Company, a publisher of reading rack pamphlets. Osborne's introduction to politics at the state level was as an official League of Women Voters observer of the 1973 Constitutional Convention. Early in the year she determined that some on-going communication link was necessary to allay voter fear and apathy about the new constitution.
