The Court REINSTATES the appeal.

We ADOPT the trial court’s findings that: (1) appellant, who filed a pro se notice of appeal, did not appear at the hearing regarding the record; (2) appellant was represented by retained counsel at trial and did not file an affidavit of indigence for the appeal, therefore, appellant is not indigent; (3) appellant has not paid for the clerk’s or reporter’s records; and (4) appellant has abandoned the appeal.

We will dispose of the appeal in due course.
