This case was abated and remanded to the trial court on September 17, 2012. In the order of abatement, we directed the trial court to determine whether appellant had orally waived the right to appeal, execute an amended certification of appellant’s right to appeal, determine whether Randy Martin intended to represent appellant on appeal, and, if Randy Martin did not intent to represent him, appoint new counsel. The trial court held a hearing on our abatement order on October 3, 2012, and the reporter’s record of the hearing and a supplemental clerk’s record have been filed with this Court. The supplemental records contain the trial court’s finding that appellant did not orally waive his right to appeal, an amended certification showing that appellant has the right to appeal, and an order appointing Patti Sedita to represent appellant on appeal. Accordingly, we REINSTATE this case on the Court’s active docket.

The reporter’s record is ORDERED to be filed within 30 days of the date of this order.
