Memorandum

To:	Mike Wakefield
From:	William L. Martin, III
Subject:	A98A0193 . Robert Ray Nettles v. The State
Date:	December 11, 1997

This is the case in which Mr. Roy C. Roberts, attorney for the appellant, delivered a brief to the Court of Appeals of Georgia without the filing fee. Under O.C.G.A. §5-6-4, the Clerk is prohibited from receiving the brief without the $80.00 filing fee or sufficient pauper's affidavit. I have had two telephone conversations with Mr. Roberts regarding this matter. It is not an indigent case and Mr. Roberts has told me that he is going to bring the filing fee and a motion for extension of time to file the brief, to this Court.

We had discussed this matter last week, but you asked that I wait until today and let you know the status of matter regarding the payment of filing costs.

Thank you.
