Memorandum

To:	All Judges
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	Use of Courtroom by the Public Service Commission
Date:	October 24, 1997

Attached please find a letter I received from Terri M. Lyndall , Executive Secretary for the Georgia Public Service Commission ( PSC ). The PSC would like to use our courtroom November 17-21 and November 24-26, 1997 for hearings while the bench in their hearing room is being relocated to the Health Building. The PSC will need the courtroom from 8:30 until 5:00 p.m. and anticipate approximately 50 people will be in attendance.

After having discussed the matter with Chief Judge Andrews, he has instructed that I may advise Ms. Lyndall that the Public Service Commission can use our courtroom subject to our needs. There is a tentative Banc Meeting scheduled for November 25 and other matters may come up requiring our use of the courtroom during that period of time. Also, some of you may have events scheduled for the courtroom during that time of which I am not aware.

I explained to Ms. Lyndall the conditions upon which we would permit the PSC to use our courtroom and they were entirely satisfactory to her. She realizes that the PSC would have to suspend or reschedule hearings if we need the courtroom.

If any of you have any events scheduled for the courtroom during this time period or if you have any feelings contrary to those expressed in this memo regarding the PSC using our courtroom, please let me know as soon as possible.

Thank you.
