Subject:	Involuntary Separations

Dear Ms. Smulian :

I am in receipt of your memorandum of October 31, 1997 regarding the involuntary separation of 32 employees from the Department of Human Resources. Please be advised that currently there are no positions of employment open at the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Additionally, most of the individuals described in the attachments to your memorandum do not have job skills that are compatible with the needs of the Court of Appeals of Georgia. However, since there are no open positions, the determination of compatibility is not necessary.

Should you have any questions regarding this response or if there are other steps I need to take to comply with the Governmental Reorganization and Termination From Employment Reform Act of 1997, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Gary B. Andrews

Chief Judge

Court of Appeals of Georgia
