In the order of abatement, we ordered the trial court to admonish appellant regarding the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation, to determine whether appellant’s counsel, George Powell, intended to represent appellant on appeal, to determine whether appellant is indigent, and to provide a deadline by which appellant would be required to hire counsel if counsel Powell was not intending to represent appellant and appellant was not indigent.
