    SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES 

OFFICE OF THE CLERK 

WASHINGTON, D. C. 20543 

E. ROBERT SEAVER 

CLERK OF THE COURT June 29 » 197 1 

Mrs. Elizabeth B. DuBois 

10 Columbus Circle 

New York, N. Y. 10019 

RE: FURMAN v. GEORGIA 
No. 50359, O.T, 1970 
  

Dear Mrs. DuBois: 

This will inform you that the Court yesterday 

took the following action in the above case: 

"The motion for leave to proceed in forma 
pauperis is granted. The petition for a writ of 

certiorari is granted limited to the following 

question: 

  

'Does the imposition and carrying out of the 
death penalty in this case constitute cruel and 

unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth and 

Fourteenth Amendments?'" 

Enclosed is a memorandum describing the time 

requirements and procedures under the Rules. 

Since the petitioner is proceeding in forma pauperis, 

we will meet the costs of printing the appendix and the brief, but 
it will be your obligation to submit the copy to us in proper 
form to send to the printers. After you have reached an agreement 
with opposing counsel as to the contents of the appendix, you 
should mark the record for the printers, prepare an index and 

forward to this office to be printed. You must prepare copy first 

of the appendix and later of the brief. 

  

Very truly yours, 

E. ROBERT SEAVER, Clerk
