Ms. Lorraine Sapp

2307 Spring Lake Court

Morrow, Georgia 30260

Dear Lorraine:

As a follow-up to my letter of May 5, 1998, as you know, you previously exhausted your sick and annual leave on April 23, 1998. The 60-day period of Family/Medical leave expired on July 21, 1998. Given that your leave is fully exhausted, I regret to inform you, we are no longer able to continue your employment with the Court of Appeals of Georgia.

On behalf of the Court, and myself, I want to thank you for the loyal and dedicated efforts in your positions as intake clerk and order/calendar clerk for the Court of Appeals. Please know that this action is not being taken because of job performance and I shall be happy to give you a most favorable recommendation should you seek other employment. Of course, should any openings occur in the Court of Appeals in the future, you will be notified and encouraged to apply.

I was very happy to hear that you had a safe delivery and a healthy baby. I wish you the best of everything for yourself and your child.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM , III/ld
