JUDGMENT ORDER BY LAZARUS, P.J.: FILED: MARCH 3, 2026

Angel Enrique Cruz-Zambrana appeals pro se from the judgments of

sentence,1 entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Berks County, following

---

• Former Justice specially assigned to the Superior Court.

1 On June 17, 2025, this Court consolidated Cruz-Zambrana’s appeals sua
sponte. See Pa.R.A.P. 513.
J-S32011-25

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.
