If appellant files a statement explaining why the appeal is not frivolous, or any other response other than a motion to dismiss, the court will determine whether the appeal is frivolous. If it is frivolous, the appeal will be dismissed. If it is not frivolous, the appeal will proceed. If appellant files a statement that the appeal should go forward, appellees may file a response within 10 days after service of appellants statement. Briefing is stayed. The motion for appointment of pro bono counsel will be addressed, if necessary, following resolution of this order. If appellant does not respond to this order, the court may dismiss this appeal without further notice.
