RE:	A98A0826 .	Wallace Henry Williams v. The State

Dear Mr. Williams:

Please be advised that Mr. Roy L. Allen, Jr., the attorney listed as your appellate counsel of record, has voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law. As such, you are not currently represented by counsel.

Please be advised that the case has been fully briefed in the Court of Appeals and there is no further action necessary on your part until such time as the Court renders an opinion. At that point in time, you may wish to file a Motion for Reconsideration or a Notice of Intent to Apply for Certiorari to the Supreme Court of Georgia, should you not be in agreement with this Court's opinion.

The Court of Appeals does not have the power or authority to appoint counsel for you. You should direct that request, should you choose to do so, to the trial court.

I have enclosed a copy of the State Bar of Georgia's order on the voluntary surrender for your review.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM , III/ld

Enclosure
