: No. 1379 MDA 2018
Appeal from the Order Entered July 25, 2018
In the Court of Common Pleas of Centre County
Civil Division at No(s): 2018-2887
BEFORE: SHOGAN, J., OLSON, J., and MUSMANNO, J.
JUDGMENT ORDER BY OLSON, J.: FILED: JANUARY 10, 2019
Appellant, Stephen Andrew Rementer, appeals pro se from the July 25,
2018 order dismissing his petition for name change. We affirm.
As our resolution of this appeal is based on the procedural posture of
this case, we decline to set forth the factual background. On July 20, 2018,
Appellant filed a petition to proceed in forma pauperis and a petition for name
change. On July 25, 2018, the trial court dismissed the petition for name
change and denied Appellant’s petition to proceed in forma pauperis. This
timely appeal followed. On August 28, 2018, the trial court ordered Appellant
to file a concise statement of errors complained of on appeal (“concise
statement”). See Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b). That order complied with all of the
requirements set forth in Rule 1925(b)(3). Appellant did not file a concise
statement.
J-S79026-18
It is axiomatic that failure to file a court-ordered concise statement
waives all appellate issues. U.S. Bank, N.A. for Certificateholders of LXS
2007-7N Tr. Fund v. Hua, 193 A.3d 994, 998 (Pa. Super. 2018). As
Appellant failed to file the court-ordered concise statement, he waived all of
his appellate issues. See id.; Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b)(4)(vii). Moreover, even if
Appellant filed a concise statement, we would affirm. Appellant is prohibited
from obtaining a name change because of his prior conviction for raping a
child. See 54 Pa.C.S.A. § 702(c)(2); Commonwealth v. Rementer, 87 A.3d
388, 2013 WL 11255667 (Pa. Super. 2013) (unpublished memorandum).
Order affirmed.
