Correcting Court Order Details

Summary

To correct a court order in Georgia, file a Motion to Amend, including all relevant details. Pro se parties can request amendments, but must follow legal procedures. If a GAL drafted the order but failed to note it, you can request the court to add this information. Consulting a local attorney is advisable for accuracy.

How do I let the courts know that a recent order failed to include all attendees that were present (only listing the parties present but not the lawyer who withdrew from the case but still took the stand)
Hello ****. To address this, you can file a 'Motion to Correct' or 'Motion for Clarification' to the court. It's advisable to include relevant dates, names, and details in your motion. Can I know which jurisdiction this falls under?
GA
In Georgia, you can file a 'Motion to Amend' with the court. Here are some points to consider:
- Include all essential details in your motion.
- Provide a copy to all parties involved.
- Follow the Georgia court rules for filing a motion.
I suggest consulting with a local attorney for accuracy.
Is it ok for a pro se party to ask the court to amend its own order in this way
Yes, a pro se party can ask the court to amend its order. However, it's crucial to follow the correct legal procedure. Consulting a local attorney might be beneficial to ensure your motion is presented correctly.
Also, if the Court asked the GAL to draft the actual order, but the GAL failed to put on the order that it was drafted by the GAL, can I request the court to add this information to the order
Yes, you can request the court to add that information. File a 'Motion to Amend' detailing the issue. It's essential to follow Georgia court rules when filing the motion. Consult a local attorney for accurate advice.
Thank you
You're welcome, ****. If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask. Remember, consulting a local attorney can provide you with the most accurate information for your specific situation.

Hi Marcellus, nice to meet you! How can I assist you with your legal issue today? Please provide some details about your situation so I can offer relevant information.
An individual is incarcerated in Maryland on * * * for second degree felony charge receiving a *-month sentence and their public defender has submitted an appeal motion and a reconsideration motion. The inmate has reached ¼ of their sentencing time and is notified they are eligible for parole and reconsideration. No action has been taken on appeal or reconsideration. The inmates believe the conviction is wrongful based on evidence mishandling, poor defense representation, and prosecutorial misconduct due to the removal of the self defense clause from the jury instructions. The defense attorney plans to convince the appellate court to overturn the guilty verdict due to the wrongful refusal of the judge to give jury instruction that the defense had proposed. The inmate is also a *% service-connected disabled veteran with a mental health disability and was not referred to the veteran’s justice outreach program to receive benefits that could have prevented incarceration. The inmates want to request parole and remind the same the judge, who invokes the incarceration sentence, of the reconsideration motion that was submitted by the public defender. The inmates want to write a letter to the judge referencing the Maryland department of health & hygiene code * and VA disability status to request parole and reconsideration. What is an example of this request to the judge who sentenced this inmate?
Certainly, Marcellus! Here's a concise example of a letter to the judge for the inmate's situation:

[Your Name]
[Inmate's Name]
[Inmate ID Number]
[Facility Name]
[Facility Address]
[City, State, ZIP Code]
[Date]
Honorable [Judge's Full Name]
[Judge's Court]
[Court Address]
[City, State, ZIP Code]
Dear Judge [Judge's Last Name],
I am writing to respectfully request your reconsideration of my sentence and to apply for parole based on my current eligibility.
I am a *% service-connected disabled veteran with a mental health disability. I was not referred to the Veterans Justice Outreach (VJO) program, which could have provided essential support and possibly prevented my current incarceration. Additionally, there were significant issues during my trial, including mishandling of evidence, ineffective defense representation, and prosecutorial misconduct.
I am also bringing to your attention the Maryland Department of Health & Hygiene Code §*-*, which may allow for alternative sentencing that addresses my health needs. My public defender has submitted a motion for reconsideration, which has not yet been acted upon.
I kindly ask for your consideration in light of these
