Dear Mrs. Cobb:

In response to your correspondence received in this office, we do not have a case styled in the name of your husband, Alfred Lee Cobb, Jr. Until a case is docketed in this Court in your husband's name, all communications and questions regarding the status of this case should be directed to the trial court, or his attorney of record, if he has one.

Please be advised that a Notice of Appeal is filed with the clerk of the trial court. The clerk of the trial court will prepare the record and transcript as requested and forward to this Court for docketing. When a case is docketed in this Court, all parties will receive a docketing notice with briefing schedule and other important information.

Any request for the appointment of appellate counsel needs to be directed to the trial court in which Mr. Cobb was convicted. 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
