MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE CASES ON APPEAL 

  

COMES NOW Ralph Kemp, Warden, Appellant in the 

above-styled actions, through counsel, and moves this 

Court to consolidate the two above-styled cases for 

consideration by this Court on appeal. The initial appeal 

filed by the Appellant/Warden in this action was from the 

granting of habeas corpus relief by the United States 

District Court. The second appeal filed was pursuant to 

the denial of the motion for relief from judgment under 

Rule 60(b) by the United States District Court involving 

the same federal habeas corpus action. This Court has ov ii 

previously stayed the briefing schedule pending resolution 
2 

  

 



  

of the Rule 60(b) motion. In order to simplify the record 

before this Court, allow the simultaneous briefing of all 

issues by both parties and 1n order to expedite the appeal 

to process, the Appellant/Warden would request that these 

two appeals be consolidated for purposes of review 1n this 

court, 

Additionally, the Appellant/Warden would request that 

this court supplement the record in case Nos. 88-8085 or 

89-8085 with all additional documents and pleadings filed 

in the district court since the time the original record 

was transmitted to this court. 

 



  

CONCLUSION 
  

Wherefore, Appellant prays that the instant motion to 

consolidate be granted. 

Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM TO COUNSEL OR PARTIES: 

RE: Nos. 88-8085 & 89-8085 —- MCCLESKEY V. ZANT 

DC DKT NO: 87-CV+1517 

  

Pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 12(b), be advised that the record is complete 
for purposes of appeal. Appellant’s brief and record excerpts are due 
within 40 days from this date. In cross appeals, the plaintiff in the 
court below is deemed the appellant unless the parties other agree. 
See Fed.R.App.P. 28, 30, 31 and 32, and the corresponding circuit rules 
for further information on preparing briefs and record excerpts. 

Enclosed is an indexed copy of the certified district court docket 
entries which show material certified to this court as the record. Counsel 
are requested to use this docket sheet and their own file copies of the 
court papers in preparing the brief and record excerpts. Please refer to 
the attached sheet for information on referencing the record. 

Both appellant and appellee are urged to review these entries promptly as 
extensions to the briefing schedule are disfavored. If the record is 
incomplete for purposes of appeal you should within fourteen (14) days 
request the district court to supplement the record [See Fed.R.App.P. 
10(e)], and notify us that you have done so. (Please note that such a 
request does not itself interrupt or extend the briefing schedule 
established above). 

If the record on appeal is needed to prepare your brief, it will be made 
available to you upon request. However, you will not be granted an 
extension of time to file your brief simply because of the lapse of time 
between the beginning of the briefing schedule and your receipt of the 
record. 

Sincerely, 

MIGUEL J. CORTEZ, Clerk 

Matt Davidson By: 
  

Deputy Clerk 

NOTE TO COUNSEL: Please note that the record on appeal in 88-8085 has this day 

been supplemented with 1 vol. of lst supplemental record 

which contains the Rule 60(b) pleadings (see last page of

RE: Warren McCleskey v. Walter Zant, Warden, No. 88-8085 and 

89-8085. 
  

Dear Mr. Davidson: 

I am writing to advise you and to request that you advise the 
Court that there is a typographical error in the brief 
submitted on behalf of the Respondent/Appellant in the 
above-styled action. While the typographical error is short, 
it may cause some confusion on the part of the Court and 
counsel would wish to have the Court made aware of this error. 
Line 14 on page 85 of the brief should read as follows: 
"efforts by counsel for the Petitioner, including utilizing." 
The brief as it is presently submitted to the Court specifies 
counsel for the Respondent. I apologize to the Court for this 
typographical error, and I hope this does not cause too much 

inconvenience. 

Thank you for making the Court aware of this error. 

Sincerely,

MOTION TO EXCEED PAGE LIMITATION 

FOR PRINCIPAL BRIEF OF THE APPELLANT 

  

Comes now Walter Zant, Appellant in the above-styled 

action, through counsel, and moves this Court for 

permission to file a brief in excess of the 55 page 

limitation set out in Rule 28-1 of the Rules of this 

Court, showing and stating the following: 

This case is an appeal taken by the warden from the 

granting of habeas corpus relief by the United States 

District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and 

from the denial of a motion for relief from judgment under 

FP.R.Civ.P. 60(b). This case involves the imposition of 

 



  

the death penalty and has already been reviewed by the en 

banc court on a prior occasion. 

Evidentiary hearings were held on three separate days 

in the United States District Court for the Northern 

District of Georgia and that court granted relief in spite 

of Appellant's assertions that there was an abuse of the 

writ. Further, subsequent to that ruling, additional 

pleadings were filed requesting relief from judgment, 

including an additional deposition of one hundred pages 

and extensive pleadings. 

Due to the extensive factual development necessary to 

examine the issue presented by the granting of relief, 

that being, an allegation of a Sixth Amendment violation 

by the utilization of a state informant or agent, 

Appellant has found it necessary to exceed the initial 

page limitation provided by the rules of this Court. 

Further, the procedural history alone is quite lengthy and 

Appellant felt it necessary to set forth the entire 

procedural history and facts for consideration by this 

Court. Lastly, the issue regarding the request for relief 

from judgment will require detailed factual and legal 

development 

The instant request is not made for the purpose of 

burdening the court, but is based upon Appellant's belief 

that this is necessary to fully brief the issues presented 

tO the court. 

 



  

CONCLUSION 
  

WHEREFORE, based upon all the foregoing, Appellant 

respectfully requests permission to file a brief in excess 

Of the page limit up to and including 95 pages in length.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE 
ELEVENTH CIRCUIT 

NO. 88-8085

WARREN MCCLESKEY, 
Petitioner/Appellee, 

Y. 

WALTER ZANT, WARDEN, 
Respondent /Appellant. 

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA 
ATLANTA DIVISION 

MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD 
  

COMES NOW Walter Zant, Warden, Respondent/Appellant in 

the instant action and submits the presently filed motion 

to supplanant the record pending before this Court. 

Respondent would request that this Court either direct the 

district Court to forward to it the record in the first 

habeas corpus action involving the instant parties, that 

being McCleskey v. Zant, Civil Action No. C81-2434A, 
  

United States District Court, Northern District of 

Georgia, Atlanta Division, or provide the 

Respondent/Appellant with the opportunity to submit 

certain transcripts to this Court which Respondent feels 

may become necessary for this Court's review. 

  

  

 



  

On the day of oral argument before this Court, 

Respondent became aware of the fact that this Court did 

not have the prior record from the first federal habeas 

corpus action before it for consideration. Although this 

Court does have various portions of the first state habeas 

corpus proceeding, the Court apparently does not have the 

original trial transcript in its entirety nor the entire 

first state habeas corpus transcript. These documents 

were submitted to the district court in the first federal 

habeas corpus action. In pursuing the present habeas 

corpus action, rather than resubmit those documents to the 

district court, Respondent requested that the district 

court take judicial notice of those proceedings, 

Petitioner had no objection and the court agreed to do 

so. This is clearly appropriate under Allen v. Newsome, 
  

705. F.28 934 (11th Cir. 1986). Thus, the district court 

had those documents before it in making its determination 

on the issues presently being considered by this Court. 

Clearly, this court has the inherent equitable power 

to supplement the record, particularly to include such a 

document as state court trial transcript. Dickerson v. 
  

Alabama, 667 F.28 1364, 1367 (llth Cir.,), cert denied, 459 
  

U.S. 878 (1982). This is not a case of the Respondent 

requesting the court to consider documents not considered 

by the district court. 

  

 



  

Subsequent to the oral argument in this court, 

Respondent became concerned that the state habeas corpus 

transcript might be necessary for this Court's resolution 

of the question of abuse of the writ and feels certain 

that if this Court were to reach the merits of the issue 

presented, then the trial transcript would certainly be 

necessary to review the question of harmless error. Under 

these circumstances, Respondent feels that supplementation 

of the record in this Court is appropriate and virtually 

essential. 

 



  

CONCLUSION 
  

Wherefore, Respondent requests that this Court 

supplement the record in this case with the record from 

the district court in the former federal habeas corpus 

action of McCleskey v. Zant, No. C81-2434A, and issue an 
  

order directing the district court to send that record to 

this Court for its use. In the alternative, Respondent 

requests that this Court allow the Respondent to 

supplement the record in his matter by submitting a copy 

of the trial transcript and the first state habeas corpus 

transcript for this Court's utilization in its review of 

the issues.

On Appeal From The United States District Court 

For The Northern District Of Georgia 

Atlanta Division 

  

APPLICATION OF PETITIONER-APPELLEE WARREN 

McCLESKEY TO FILE SUGGESTION OF REHEARING IN BANC 

IN EXCESS OF FIFTEEN PAGES 

  

Petitioner-appellee Warren McCleskey, by his undersigned 

counsel, respectfully applies to this Court for an order 

permitting the filing of a Suggestion for Rehearing In Banc in 

excess of fifteen pages. 

In support of his application, Warren McCleskey shows to the 

Court that additional pages are necessary, to permit the filing 

of a brief of thirty-three pages, because of the complex set of 

circumstances which is the basis for this suggestion for 

rehearing in banc. 

To adequately brief his grounds for rehearing in banc, 

Warren McCleskey has needed to set out in some detail (i) the 

 



  

procedural history of the various habeas proceedings, (ii) the 

evidence presented to the district court in the present habeas 

proceeding, and the district court's findings thereon, (iii) the 

state trial evidence regarding the circumstances of the crime, 

and (iv) the legal errors which petitioner contends the panel 

made in dealing with the constitutional issues presented. 

Because of the number of issues which require briefing in 

this suggestion for rehearing in banc, the additional pages 

requested are necessary for adequate presentation of those issues 

to the Court.
