FEC v. Jamie Jacob Morgan

On November 7, 2008, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia granted the Commission’s motion for entry of default judgment. The court declared that the defendant, Jamie Jacob Morgan, violated the terms of the conciliation agreement he entered into with the FEC and ordered him to pay the $60,000 civil penalty imposed by the conciliation agreement, plus interest. The court permanently enjoined Mr. Morgan from violating the conciliation agreement in the future. The court further ordered that any matter pertaining to this judgment falls within its jurisdiction and dismissed the case.

Mr. Morgan, a 2002 Congressional candidate and the de facto treasurer of his campaign committee, entered into the conciliation agreement with the FEC on April 20, 2007, for committing knowing and willful violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act. The Commission filed suit in the U.S. District Court against Mr. Morgan for failure to comply with the terms of this agreement.
