RE: McCleskey v. Zant, No. 89-7024 
  

Dear Mr. Spaniol:

Supreme Court of the United States, to the filing of an amicus brief by the Alabama 

Capital Representation Resource Center, Volunters Lawyers’ Resource Center of Florida, 

and Georgia Appellate Practice and Educational Resource Center, in support of the

Supreme Court of the United States

Warren McCleskey v. Walter D. Zant, 
No. 89~- 
  

Dear Mr. Spaniol: 

On March 23, 1990, I transmitted for filing twelve 
copies of a petition for certiorari in the above-captioned case, 
together with a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 
a certificate of service. 

  

I subsequently have identified approximately one dozen 
typographical errors in the original document, on at least six 
pages of the text. Rather than forward your office multiple 
copies -of the looseleaf corrected pages, I have taken the liberty 
to prepare a substituted original and eleven copies of the 
petition, in which all of the typographical errors have been 
corrected. There has otherwise been absolutely no change in the 
substance of the petition as initially filed. I would be 
grateful if you would substitute the enclosed copies of the 
petition for the original and eleven copies originally sent to 
your office. I have spoken with Mary Beth Westmoreland, Esq. of 
the Georgia Attorney General's office. She does not oppose this 
substitution. 

Thank you very much.

Warren McCleskey v. Walter D. Zant, 
No, 89- 
  

Dear Mr. Spaniol: 

Enclosed for filing are an original and eleven copies 
of a petition for certiorari in the above-captioned case, 
together with a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 
a certificate of service. 

  

As you will note from Appendix E to the petition, the 
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has 
stayed the mandate in this case to and including March 23, 1990, 
and thereafter, pending the timely filing of a petition for 
certiorari. I would be grateful if you could inform the Clerk of 
that Court, Miguel Cortez, that this petition has been filed. 

Thank you very much. 

Sincerely,
