As you can see, he has prepared a petition for commutation for Warren McCleskey. Obviously this is not something that you will want to use, but it may have something useful in it. I have had it on my desk for sometime to review, in order to try to save you effort of reviewing it, but I have simply been unable to get to it. Therefore, I am sending it on to you for whatever it is worth. Karima would like to know any reaction you might have to it, so that she can correspond with the fellow in Florida to let him know what has been done with his work. We are assuming that no news is good news from you. We hope not to hear from you for a long time.

July 23, 1991 Ms. Patsy Morris Georgia Resource Center 920 Ponce de leon Street, N.E. Atlanta, Georgia 30306 Warren McCleskey v. Walter D. Zant Dear Patsy: I am enclosing copies of two telephone bills recently sent to me by the University of North. These bills reflect my long- distance telephone calls from my office telephone during April and May of 1991. As you will see from the notations which I have made adjacent to each telephone call, many of the charges are attributable to calls made during my representation of Warren McCleskey and/or William Moore, both Georgia inmates. The total of these charges is as follows: April, 1991 $ 87.05 May, 199) $ 63.60 TOTAL: $150.65 I would be grateful if the Resource Center could reimburse me for these out-of-pocket expenses. Thank‘you very much. Sincerely, 2 n Charles Boger School of law, CB # 3380 University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599
