RE:	A95A0944 .	Michael Brewer v. The State

Dear John:

Enclosed please find communications that were received by the Clerk's Office from Mr. Michael L. Brewer, defendant appellant in the above referenced criminal appeal. I have also enclosed a copy of the Court's opinion in this matter.

I would appreciate your passing this information on to the appropriate authorities in the Department of Corrections, and to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, if you deem it appropriate. While Mr. Brewer did not make any direct threats, I am concerned about the tenor of his notes and the fact that he specifically mentioned Presiding Judge McMurray in this matter.

It may be that it is necessary to put Chief Judge Gary B. Andrews, Presiding Judge William Leroy McMurray , Jr., and Judge G. Alan Blackburn on the list of those persons to be notified should Mr. Brewer be released to a halfway house or released from custody altogether.

If you can think of other steps I need to take to alert these judges and protect them from any potential harm, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III
