RE:	88-157.	William L. Emmons v. The State

Dear Mr. Emmons :

Enclosed please find the Application for Discretionary Appeal for the above styled matter as well as the Motion for Restraining Order. Please be advised that pursuant to OCGA §5-6-4, the clerk is prohibited from receiving an application without the $80.00 filing fee or sufficient pauper's affidavit. Additionally, a Motion for Restraining Order should be filed in the trial court.

I am not exactly sure what order you are appealing, but ordinarily, a discretionary application must be filed within 30 days of the date of the entry of the order or judgment you are appealing.

I have enclosed a copy of the new rules of the Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk
