Memorandum

To:	Laura Robison
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	A99A0095 . Dexter J. Ray, Sr. v. The State
Date:	October 6, 1998

Attached please find a motion filed by Mr. Ray in the above referenced matter. The Court has already denied a motion to exceed the 50-page limit on his brief. The Court has also granted a motion to accept a supplemental brief as filed.

I docketed this as a motion requesting a supplemental brief with the brief attached. I really do not know what Mr. Ray is attempting to do. He already has a brief, enumeration of errors and a supplemental brief filed. The case is also before the Court as a pauper's case.

We are dealing with a pro se incarcerated defendant who went to great lengths to represent himself. The trial court tried several times to appoint appellate counsel for Mr. Ray, but he kept filing Rule 40(b) motions in this Court to represent himself.

This Court remanded to the trial court the matter so the trial court can make an evidentiary finding and permitted Mr. Ray to represent himself. Because he had success in a motion he styled as an emergency motion I suppose now he calls everything an emergency motion.

If you need to talk to me about this matter, please let me know.

Thank you.
