Dear Mr. Howard:

I am in receipt of your pleading resubmitted under cover of your mailing received by this Court on March 27, 1998. Also enclosed, please find a copy of my letter to you of March 20, 1998. As I stated at that time, under Official Code of Georgia Annotated section 5-6-4, the clerk is prohibited from receiving the application without the $80.00 filing fee or sufficient pauper's affidavit. Since you have not sworn your pauper's affidavit before a notary public, I am not permitted to receive the application.

I am returning your documents to you again.

Sincerely,

William L. Martin, III

Administrator/Clerk

Court of Appeals of Georgia
