his convictions at Docket Number CP-06-CR-0004047-2023 of robbery and firearm offenses and at Docket Number CP-06-CR-0003932-2023 of firearm and flight to avoid apprehension offenses. Upon review, we dismiss this appeal.

This case returns to us after remand whereupon Cruz-Zambrana waived his right to counsel and opted to proceed pro se. On November 19, 2025, this Court issued an order directing Cruz-Zambrana to file a supplemental Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b) concise statement of errors complained of on appeal and for the trial court to file a responsive Rule 1925(a) opinion. See Order, 11/18/25, at 1-2.2 After receiving the trial court’s opinion, Cruz-Zambrana was given 30 days to file his appellate brief. See id.

On November 29, 2025, Cruz-Zambrana timely filed his pro se supplemental Rule 1925(b) concise statement of errors complained of on appeal. On December 15, 2025, the trial court filed its responsive Rule 1925(a) opinion and, on December 16, 2025, furnished a copy to Cruz- Zambrana. However, Cruz-Zambrana has failed to file an appellate brief within 30 days of the issuance of the trial court opinion. See Order, 11/18/25, at 1-2. Thus, we dismiss the appeal.

Appeal dismissed.

2 On November 19, 2025, this Court also issued this order in Spanish as Cruz-

Zambrana had indicated in prior filings that Spanish is his primary language. See Order, 11/19/25, at 1-2.
