Dear Mr. Wilson:

I am in receipt of the "Application for Discretionary Appeal" sent under cover of your letter of postmark date June 25, 1998. Please be advised that under Official Code of Georgia Annotated section 5-6-4, the clerk is prohibited from receiving an application without the $80.00 filing fee or sufficient pauper's affidavit.

If you wish to re-file the application, please include a pauper's affidavit which is signed and notarized. Additionally, any discretionary application should contain a stamped file copy of the order you are appealing and so much of the record as you wish the Court to review.

I have enclosed a copy of the rules of the Court of Appeals for your convenience.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III
