RE:	Margie Owens

Dear Ms. Porn:

I am in receipt of your letter of postmark date July 2, 1998 regarding your sister, Ms. Margie Owens. Please be advised that there is no case docketed in the Court of Appeals under the name of Margie Owens. Until a case is docketed in this Court, all communications regarding the matter should be to your attorney of record, if you have one, or the trial court.

According to the newspaper articles you have enclosed, Ms. Owens was convicted of murder. The Supreme Court of Georgia, and not the Court of Appeals, has jurisdiction over murder cases. You may wish to contact the Supreme Court. Their address is: 244 Washington Street, S.W. , Room 572, Atlanta, Georgia 30334.

I am returning your documents to you in case you need them for any future proceedings.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM , III/ld
