Dear Mr. Jenkins:

In response to your correspondence received in this office we do not have a case styled in your name pending in this Court.

Until a case is docketed in this Court, all communications and questions regarding the status of your case should be directed to your attorney of record, if you have one, or to the trial court from which you are appealing.

We are returning your documents as you may wish to use them in any future legal proceedings that you may have. I have also enclosed a copy of the rules of the Court of Appeals for your review.

Please be advised that to have a case docketed as a pauper case in this Court, the record must contain a sufficient pauper's affidavit, or one must be filed at the time of filing the brief or application. A sufficient pauper's affidavit is one which is subscribed to before a notary public and signed and sealed by a notary public.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
