COMUNICACIÓN CONFIDENCIAL DE ABOGADO A CLIENTE

Mi Estimado Sr. [Last Name]:

Siento mucho avisarle que la Corte Suprema ha negado la petición para revisar la decisión de la corte de apelaciones. Mi representación suya en su caso se ha finalizado.

Si usted desea sequir argumentando su caso, el próximo paso que usted tiene que tomar es preparar una petición de habeas corpus y someterla en la corte federal. Esto es algo que usted debe hacerlo solo. Usted no tiene derecho de representación de un abogado para preparar una petición de habeas corpus en la corte federal. La corte del estado unicamente me disignó para representarle en su apelación en la corte estatal. Pueda que alquien en la prisión le brinde ayuda.

He incluido los transcritos en su caso y la forma que tiene que usar si desea someter una petición de habeas corpus en la corte federal. Si usted desea continuar argumentando su caso, favor no demorar. Solamente tiene un año para someter la petitición de habeas corpus en la corte federal.

Si tiene alguna pregunta, por favor de escribirme.

Atentamente,

[Your Name]

Abogado [If you are a woman, write "Abogada"]

Cosa Inclusa

I am sorry to advise you that the Supreme Court has denied the petition to review the court of appeal decision. My representation in your case is now finished.

If you want to continue arguing your case, the next step you have to take is to prepare a habeas corpus petition and file it in federal court. This is something you will have to do for yourself. There is no right to legal representation to prepare a habeas corpus petition in federal court. The state court only appointed me to represent you in your appeal in state court. Perhaps there is someone in the prison who can help you.

I have enclosed the transcripts in your case and the form you have to use is you want to file a habeas corpus petition in federal court. If you want to keep arguing your case, please do not delay. You only have one year to file the habeas corpus petition with the federal court.

If you have any questions, please write.
