OFFICIAL ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION

April 6, 1994
Honorable Lucy Carpenter
Circuit Clerk, Marshall County
Post Office Box 459
Holly Springs, Mississippi 38365
Re: Pre-payment of criminal appeal costs
and garnishments
Dear Ms. Carpenter:
Attorney General Mike Moore has received your letters of
request and has assigned them to the undersigned for research and
reply.    In your letters of March 16, 1994, you asked the
following questions:

FIRST QUESTION:

RESPONSE:

I requested that you reconsider your answer
in an opinion to Circuit Clerk Nancy White
Reed on July 23, 1986 which stated that a
defendant convicted in Justice or Municipal
Court was not required to prepay any criminal
appeal cost.
In giving your answer, please address pre-
payment of filing fees in civil and criminal
appeals cases.

This office understands the concerns of the
circuit clerks in regards to the filing of advanced
court cost in criminal appeals from justice and
municipal courts. However, this office is compelled to
maintain its position as set forth in the opinion
addressed to Circuit Clerk Nancy White Reed.
