Dear Mr. Camp:

I am in receipt of your letter dated February 13, 1998 addressed to Chief Judge Gary B. Andrews of this Court. Please be advised that under the rules and procedures of this Court and the Code of Judicial Conduct, the judges of this Court are prohibited from communicating with parties to cases that are before this Court or may come before this Court.

Until a case is docketed in the Court of Appeals of Georgia, there is nothing this Court can do to assist you.

Generally the Notice of Appeal is filed in the trial court within 30 days from the date of the order of judgment you are appealing. Everyone in Georgia has the constitutional right to represent his/herself, however, I strongly suggest you contact an attorney if you wish to appeal this case.

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
