RE:	A98A2266 .	Clarence H. Glover, Jr. v. Henry Hall Ware, III et al

A98A2267 .	Henry Hall Ware, III et al v. Clarence H. Glover, Jr.

Dear Judge Staley :

Enclosed please find a request for oral argument filed by the parties in the above docketed appeals. Both Judge Eldridge of our Court and Chief Judge Hal Craig of the Flint Circuit have denied the request for oral arguments. Under our rules, since this is a timely request, the grant of any one judge on the panel will put the case on for oral argument.

Please review the request for oral arguments and mark either "grant" or "deny" and return the court action tickets along with the request for oral argument to me in the pre-addressed stamped envelope I have enclosed for your convenience. If you do grant oral argument, the cases will be set for a special date that is agreed upon by the judges involved and does not conflict with the attorneys. If the request for oral argument is denied, the case will be decided on briefs. Judge Eldridge will draft an opinion and circulate it to you and Chief Judge Craig for your comments and vote.

If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. If you feel you need any portion of the record to act on the request, please let me know. I have enclosed copies of the briefs for your review.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
