RE:	A98A0826. Wallace Henry Williams v. The State

Dear Mr. Williams:

Enclosed please find a copy of my letter to you of February 17, 1998. At that time, I stated that the case had been fully briefed in the Court of Appeals. This is not correct. In fact, there has been no brief and enumeration of errors filed in this matter.

Failure to timely file a brief may result in the dismissal of your appeal. As I stated earlier, your attorney of record, Mr. Roy L. Allen, Jr., has voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law. You may wish to contact another attorney, or contact the trial court regarding an appointment of counsel. Also, you have the constitutional right to represent yourself, however, I would recommend that you secure counsel.

I have enclosed a copy of the rules of the Court of Appeals of Georgia for your review.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia

WLM, III/ld

Enclosure
