RE:	District Court Administrators Summer Seminar

Dear David:

Thank you for inviting me to appear as a program speaker at the District Court Administrators Summer Seminar. I shall be happy to speak to the group on the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1996. I am not sure that the word of that Act has spread to all the trial courts. Implementing the procedures under the Act can be a little cumbersome initially, but in the long run I believe it will save everybody time.

If you need for me to provide you with the program materials before the date of the seminar, please let me know and give me a deadline date for getting them to you.

Thank you again for including me in the seminar and I shall look forward to seeing you at St. Simon's at the end of the month.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
