RE:	Jeff Goolsby Homes Corp v. F. N. (Sonny) Strickland , Jr., d/b/a Strickland Contracting Company, Inc.

Civil Action File Number 96-CV-2288

Henry County Superior Court

Dear Ms. Taylor:

Enclosed please find a copy of my letter to you of June 18, 1998 returning the record in the above referenced matter. After communications with Mr. Goolsby and your office, I have determined that his notice of appeal was filed on May 1, 1997, before the Supreme Court published the opinion in Eckles d/b/a Atlanta Technology Group v. Atlanta Technology Group, Inc. on June 5, 1997. As such, Mr. Goolsby is exempt from the prohibition of a pro se party representing a corporation in this matter.	Please retransmit the record in the matter for docketing.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM , III/ld
