RE:	A97A2504 .	Robert Baez v. The State

Dear Mr. Baez:

I am in receipt of your letter dated May 14, 1998 regarding the above referenced matter. Please be advised that the Notice of Intent to Apply for Certiorari was filed on March 25, 1998. However, there was never a Notice of Filing of Application for Certiorari with the Supreme Court filed with the Court of Appeals, nor, was there an Application for Certiorari filed with the Supreme Court of Georgia.

On May 12, 1998, this Court sent out the remittitur. As such, we no longer have jurisdiction over this matter.

If you intend to pursue your Application for Certiorari with the Supreme Court of Georgia, you should contact that Court and ask that they direct the Court of Appeals to recall the remittitur.

Since the remittitur has gone out from this case and this Court no longer has jurisdiction over the matter, I am returning the documents you sent to this Court in case you need them for any future proceedings.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
