appointed counsel, the trial court shall determine whether appellant will retain counsel to
represent him in the appeals and, if so, the name, State Bar number, and contact information for
retained counsel.
We ORDER the trial court to transmit a record of the hearing, including findings of fact,
any orders, and any supporting documentation, to this Court within THIRTY DAYS of the date

We ABATE the appeals to allow the trial court to comply with this order. The appeals
will be reinstated THIRTY DAYS from the date of this order or when the findings are received,
whichever is earlier.
