Clerk of the Court

Eighth Judicial Circuit

Gainesville, Florida 32602

Case No.: 1999-02008-AM; Division H

Dear Clerk Irby:

Pursuant to your correspondence dated June 10, 1999, I am enclosing our check in the amount of $97.50 representing the filing fee in the above referenced case.

Also enclosed is a motion asking the Judge to close the new file and transfer my Petition to the file to which it was addressed. That is Case No.: 6815-C.

The adoption I seek to void was obtained in that file -- my client filed a Petition for information in that file (Case No.: 6815-C) and Judge Cates entered an Order on December 14, 1998, in Case No.: 6815-C. All of the reports by the Department of Children and Families are directed to that file (Case No. 6815-C) which has them now. Therefore, it should not be viewed as a new filing and jeopardizes my position.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Mallory E. Horne
