Dear Mr. Goodine :

I am in receipt of your letter of postmark date June 5, 1998. Please be advised that the Court of Appeals has no specific forms for informa pauperis . To file informa pauperis , you will need to swear before a notary public that you are financially unable to pay the $80.00 filing fee.

A pauper's status in the Court of Appeals of Georgia only waives the $80.00 filing fee. Any copies and the like must be paid to the Court. This Court charges $1.00 per page for photocopying.

Any requests for appointed counsel should be directed to the trial court. The Court of Appeals does not have the authority to appoint an attorney to represent you.

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
