COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. EUGENE CLINTON JACKSON
No. 2001 MDA 2007 2009 PA Super 17 Atlantic: 965 A.2d 280 Filed: 1/30/2009

Appeal from the PCRA Order entered November 15, 2007
In the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County
Criminal No. CP-22-CR-0001248-2002
Before: LALLY-GREEN, FREEDBERG, and FITZGERALD, JJ.
Opinion by: FITZGERALD, J.
Appellant, Eugene Clinton Jackson, appeals pro se from the order of the Dauphin County Court of Common Pleas, denying his second petition filed pursuant to the Post Conviction Relief Act (PCRA). Appellant has also filed a petition to supplement his brief. We hold that the PCRA court erred when it dismissed appointed counsel sua sponte after the evidentiary hearing. Accordingly, we deny Appellant’s petition as moot, but remand for appointment of counsel.
