RE:	Andrew Hice v. DeKalb County, Georgia

Warrant Numbers 98W49185 and 98W49186

Emergency Appeal

Dear Mr. Hice :

The Clerk's Office of the Court of Appeals of Georgia received the above referenced Emergency Appeal from the Supreme Court of Georgia pursuant to an order from that Court dated September 14, 1998, a copy of which has been attached.

Pursuant to the Official Code of Georgia Annotated section 5- 6-4, the clerk of the Court of Appeals is prohibited from receiving such an application without the filing fee or a sufficient pauper's affidavit.

In order to receive the bond appeal as a Rule 40(b) Motion, the Court will require a pauper's affidavit which has been signed before a notary public and signed and sealed by the witness of your signature. I am returning your documents to you in case you wish to obtain the proper notarization and re-file them.

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
