THE DEFENDANT IS HEREBY ADVISED

C. that he has the right to forego the assistance of counsel and to respond to the People's appeal pro se; and

D. that unless within 60 days from the date of this order the defendant either responds to the appeal pro se or by retained counsel, or moves for the appointment of counsel to represent him, he shall be deemed to have waived his right to counsel on the appeal and it shall be heard and determined on the People's brief and record alone; and,

ON THE COURT'S OWN MOTION, it is:

ORDERED that the People are directed to serve a copy of this decision and order upon the defendant:

1. by regular mail at his last known address, and

2. if the defendant was represented by retained counsel in the trial court, by regular mail to that retained attorney, who, in turn is directed to forward the same to the defendant by regular mail at the last address for the defendant known to that attorney, and

3. by publication for five consecutive days in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the defendant is last known to have resided; and it is further,

ORDERED that the People shall file proof of service of this decision and order as set forth in the foregoing decretal paragraph with the clerk of this court within 20 days of the date hereof; and it is further,

ORDERED that in the event that the defendant was represented by retained counsel in the Supreme Court, said retained counsel shall file with the clerk of this court within 45 days of the date hereof proof of forwarding a copy of this decision and order to the defendant as directed herein; and it is further,

ORDERED that the defendant's time to respond to the appeal pro se or by retained counsel, or to move for the assignment of counsel is enlarged until 60 days after the date of this decision and order, i.e., January 16, 2006, and in the event that he fails to so respond to the appeal or to move for the assignment of counsel within that time, the defendant shall be deemed to have waived his right to counsel, and the appeal shall be considered and determined on the appellant's brief and the record alone.
