Dear Mr. Furqan :

I am in receipt of your letter of postmark date April 16, 1998. There is no specific form for applications. Any application filed should contain a stamped file copy of the order you are appealing. Additionally, applications must be filed within 30 days of the date of entry of the order or judgment you are contesting.

A sufficient pauper's affidavit will require that you swear before a notary public, under penalty of perjury, that you are unable to pay the $80.00 filing fee. You will need to contact the Department of Public Safety or the Recorder's Court in Chatham County regarding the best way to obtain records from those respective agencies.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
