2 pgs ORDER (Clerk) It is noted that Appellant chose to waive his right to counsel and proceed pro se in the District Court. Appellant is hereby advised that unlike proceedings in District Court, there is no right to proceed pro se on appeal. See Martinez v. Court of Appeal of California, 528 U.S. 152 (2000). This Court in its discretion may permit an appellant to proceed pro se if an appellant knowingly and voluntarily waives the right to counsel. The Supreme Court has instructed that in order for a waiver to be knowing and voluntary, a litigant must be "made aware of the dangers and disadvantages of self representation". Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806 (1975). As such, Appellant is hereby advised of the following potential dangers and disadvantages of proceeding pro se on appeal: [Please open the attachment for the full text of the Order] If Appellant elects to waive counsel and proceed pro se, Appellant must file and serve a written response addressing this Court's authority over the appeal within fourteen (14) days of the filing of the waiver form. Appellant must also file a motion for release in accordance with Third Circuit Local Appellate Rule 9.1(a), by that same deadline. If Appellant elects to accept representation by Timothy R. Anderson, Esq., or if Appellant fails to respond to this order, then Timothy R. Anderson, Esq., must file and serve a written response addressing this Court's authority over the appeal and a motion for release within fourteen (14) days of either the filing of Appellant's written statement accepting representation or the expiration of Appellant's response time, whichever occurs first. Appellee's response addressing this Court's authority over this appeal must be filed within fourteen (14) days of the date of this order. (AMR)
