ORDER ON ABATEMENT AND REMAND Appellant Alfonso Demetrio Rodriguez filed a pro se notice of appeal from five separate judgments convicting him of abandoning a child, kidnapping, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, assault on a public servant, and criminal mischief. The clerk s record has been filed, and reflects that appellant had appointed counsel at trial. On May 11, 2007, appellant filed a letter with this court indicating he has not yet been appointed counsel to assist with his appeal.

Upon remand, the trial court shall utilize whatever means necessary to determine the following: 1. whether appellant desires to prosecute the appeal; 2. whether appellant is indigent; and 3. whether the appellant is entitled to appointed counsel. Should it be determined appellant wishes to prosecute the appeal, is indigent, and is entitled to an appointed attorney, the trial court shall appoint counsel. If counsel is appointed, the name, address, telephone number, and state bar number of said counsel shall be included in an order appointing counsel. If necessary, the trial court shall issue findings of fact, conclusions of law, and any necessary orders it may enter regarding the aforementioned issues and cause its findings, conclusions, and orders to be included in a supplemental clerk s record. A supplemental record of the hearing, if any, shall also be prepared. The supplemental clerk s record and supplemental reporter s record, if any, shall be filed with the Clerk of this Court on or before June 22, 2007. It is so ordered. Per Curiam Do not publish. 2
