RE:	Irving Baize v. The State

Criminal Case Number 9731

Dear Bonnie:

Enclosed please find the record in the above referenced matter. The Court is returning this to you because there is no notice of appeal contained in the record. The trial court's order on Page 1 grants the defendant, Irving Baize, an out-of-time appeal. However, there is no notice of appeal subsequent to that order in the record. Without a proper notice of appeal, we are physically unable to docket the case.

If you have any questions about this matter, or if I can otherwise be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM , III/ld

Enclosure
