RE:	S98D1082 . Terry Lee Battle v. The State

Dear Mr. Battle:

Enclosed please find application you filed with the Supreme Court of Georgia, and a copy of that Court's order transferring the case to this Court. However, under Official Code of Georgia Annotated section 5-6-4, the clerk of this Court is prohibited from receiving the application without the $80.00 filing fee or sufficient pauper's affidavit. The pauper's affidavit should be sworn to before a notary public, notarized, signed and sealed by the notary public.

Additionally, if you wish to re-file the application, please include a stamped file copy of the order of the court that you are appealing. I have enclosed a copy of the rules of the Court of Appeals for your review.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
