Dear Mr. Parham :

Enclosed please find an application you sent to the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Supreme Court's order transferring the matter to the Court of Appeals.

Official Code of Georgia Annotated section 5-6-4 prohibits the clerk from receiving the application without the $80.00 filing fee or a sufficient pauper's affidavit. Since the Supreme Court, by its order of December 4, 1998, has established that jurisdiction is in the Court of Appeals of Georgia, please return the application along with the $80.00 filing fee or a sufficient pauper's affidavit. To be a sufficient pauper's affidavit, the affidavit must be sworn to before a notary public and signed in the presence of a notary public and signed and sealed by the notary public.

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

WLM , III/ld

Enclosure
