       __________________________________________________
           Acknowledgement and Assent to Pruett’s
               Notice Regarding State’s Response to
                  Petition for Writ of Prohibition
       __________________________________________________

       Pruett filed a Notice Regarding State’s Response to

Petition for Writ of Prohibition, in which he asserted

that     the    State’s    Response     included     an    erroneous

assertion. Pruett is correct.

       On page 6 of the State’s Response, this attorney

wrote:

       Two pairs of pants and a white towel that Baylor
       found in the trash can of the gym had Nagle’s
       blood on them. (R.R. 42:346-347, 350) A piece
       of cloth Baylor found in the hallway had Nagle’s
       blood on it. (R.R. 42:347)
    The accurate facts are that the two pairs of pants,

the white towel, and the piece of cloth all have Pruett’s

blood on them, not Nagle’s. (RR 4:346-347, 350)

    This attorney apologizes to the Court and to Counsel

for this error. It was not intentional and it was not

meant to mislead any person.

                               Respectfully Submitted,

                               /s/ Melinda Fletcher
