Dear Mr. Stanley:

I am in receipt of a copy of a Notice of Appeal you filed in Lowndes County Superior Court. Please be advised that it is unnecessary to serve the Court of Appeals with a copy of a Notice of Appeal. After the trial court prepares the record and transmits same to this Court, we will docket the appeal and send out a docketing notice with briefing schedule and other important information.

Until such time as the case is docketed with the Court of Appeals, we are unable to file your copy of the Notice of Appeal. A copy of the Notice of Appeal will come up with the record from the trial court.

I have enclosed a copy of the rules of the Court of Appeals of Georgia for your review.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
