Missing Briefs
Date:	January 6, 1998

Missing briefs should be reported to John Daniel, Gail Arceneaux or myself. In this instance case, the briefs were filed on December 5, 1997. The green receipt in the file folder shows the record was checked out by you on December 12, 1997. See attached copy.

I do not know if the briefs were with the record when you checked it out or not. If you check a record out, and you believe the briefs should be with it, you should let the clerk know as soon as possible if the briefs are not with the record.

It is the Court's policy that only John Daniel, or other persons from the clerk's office, are to remove records from the file room. This is the only way the clerk's office can have an audit trail and hold someone responsible for the management of the records.

Please check in and around your office well, particularly with other cases you may have checked out. Many times, we find briefs are simply filed with the wrong case. I shall instruct John Daniel and the other people in the clerk's office to be on the lookout for the appellant's brief and enumeration of errors as well.
