Dear Mr. McNair:

I am receipt of the application for writ of habeas corpus you forwarded to this Court under postmark date of August 20, 1998. There is no case docketed in your name in the Court of Appeals of Georgia. Therefore, we are returning your documents.

An application for writ of habeas corpus should be filed in the superior court of the county in which you claim you are being detained illegally. An appeal from a denial of a writ of habeas corpus is to the Supreme Court of Georgia and not the Court of Appeals.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
