RE:	A98A0168 .	Leroy Lawson Hutchison v. The State

Dear Ms. Briley :

Pursuant to our telephone conversation of November 4, 1997 regarding the above referenced matter, please forward to the Court of Appeals of Georgia your motion for permission to withdraw as attorney for Mr. Hutchison , attaching a stamped file copy of Judge Kilpatrick 's order allowing you to withdraw in the trial court and any other information you deem pertinent to support your motion in the Court of Appeals of Georgia. I have enclosed a copy of Mr. Hutchison 's letter to me dated October 30, 1997 regarding his acknowledgment that the superior court has signed an order allowing you permission to withdraw. However, as I stated in our conversation, you will have to make a motion before the Court of Appeals of Georgia, as well.

If I can be of further assistance to you in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
