Dear Mr. Wilson:

I am in receipt of your letter of postmark date April 17, 1998. Please be advised that there is no case docketed in the Court of Appeals of Georgia under your name. Until a case is docketed in this Court, all communications regarding the status of your case should be directed to your attorney of record, or the trial court from which you are appealing.

If you believe you are being detained illegally, you may wish to file a Petition for Habeas Corpus. You would initiate that in the superior court of the County wherein you claim to be illegally detained. An appeal from a denial of a Petition for Habeas Corpus is to the Supreme Court of Georgia and not the Court of Appeals.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM , III/ld
