Memorandum

To:	Lorraine Sapp
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	A97A2535 .	Department of Transportation, State of Georgia v. Timothy S. Gaines
Date:	October 29, 1997

The Court issued an order on October 28, 1997 dismissing the appeal of the above appellant for failure to comply with the Court's rules regarding type size and font size. The case is on the calendar for oral argument for November 3rd. Please call the attorneys in the above case and advise them of the fact that the Court has dismissed the appeal and therefore they should not attend oral argument since the case will not be heard.

Also, remind me to tape record the oral arguments on November 3rd since Judge Beasley will not be present.

Thank you.
