BEFORE: PANELLA, P.J., LAZARUS, J., and SULLIVAN, J. JUDGMENT ORDER BY LAZARUS, J.: FILED DECEMBER 6, 2022 Jessica L. Vogel appeals , pro se , from the judgment of sentence, entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, after she was convicted, in
absentia , of driving while her operating privileges were suspended or
revoked. 1 Because V ogel has waived all claims on appeal, we affirm. On January 4, 2022, Vogel was found guilty, in absentia , in Magisterial District Court, after she failed to appear for her summary trial. She timely appealed to the Court of Common Pleas and, once again, f ailed to appear for
her de novo hearing. Accordingly, the court dismissed her appeal and entered the judgment imposed by the magisterial court. See Trial Court Order, 4/1/22.

Vogel filed a notice of appeal on May 4, 2022. Pursuant to Pa.R.A.P. 903(a), Vogel was required to file her notice of appeal within 30 days

— on or before May 2, 2022 2

— for it to be considered timely. However, the trial court ’ s April 1, 202 2 order failed t o provide Vogel with notice of her appellate rights.
See Pa.R.Crim.P. 907(4) (directing that court advise defendant of right to appeal and time limits within which to file appeal). This Court has concluded that a breakdown in the operations of the court occurs whe n the trial court fails to properly advise a defendant regarding her appellate rights. See
Commonwealth v. Patterson , 940 A.2d 493, 498 (Pa. Super. 2007) (“The
courts of this Commonwealth have held that a court breakdown occurred in
instances wh ere the trial court, at the time of sentencing, either failed to advise [the appellant] of [her] post

- sentence and appellate rights or misadvised [ her ].”). Therefore, we will consider the court ’ s failure to advise Vogel that her appeal must be filed withi n 30 days as a breakdown in the
court ’ s operations that excuses the untimeliness of her appeal. Nevertheless, Vogel is not entitled to review of the merits of her appeal. On June 30, 2022, the trial court issued an order, mailed to Vogel at her home

2 The thirtieth day following the entry of the trial court’s order fell on a Sunday. Accordingly, Vogel had until Monday

— the next business day

— to file her notice of appeal. See 1 Pa.C.S.A. § 1908 (in computation of time under any statute, “[w]henever the last day of any such period shall fall on Saturday or Sunday . . . such day shall be omitted from the computation”).J

addr ess and containing all required information , 3 directing her to file a Rule 1925(b) concise statement of errors complained of on appeal. She failed to
do so. “[F]ailure to comply with the minimal requirements of [Rule] 1925(b)
will result in automatic wa iver of the issues raised.” 4 Greater Erie Indus. Dev. Corp. v. Presque Isle Downs, Inc. , 88 A.3d 222, 224 (Pa. Super. 2014) (en banc) (emphasis and citation omitted). In addition , when an appellant proceeds pro se , we recognize no remedy or exception for her failure to timely file a Rule 1925(b) statement. See Commonwealth v. Boniella , 158 A.3d 162, 164 (Pa. Super. 2017) ; see also Elliot - Greenleaf, P.C. v.
Rothstein , 255 A.3d 539, 542 (Pa. Super. 2021) (although w e are “willing to liberally construe” an appellant ’ s pro se filings, an “appellant is not entitled to

3 As required by Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b), the order specified: (1) the number of days after the date of the court’s order within which the appe llant must file and serve the statement; (2) that the statement shall be filed of record; (3) that the statement shall be served upon the judge; and (4) that any issue not included in the statement shall be deemed waived. See Pa.R.A.P. 1925(b).

4 Even i f we did not find Vogel’s appellate claims waived for failure to file a Rule 1925(b) statement, we would find them waived as a result of her failure to comply with the Rules of Appellate Procedure. Specifically, Vogel’s brief does not contain: (1) a stat ement of jurisdiction; (2) a statement of the order or other determination in question; (3) a statement of the scope and standard of review; (4) a statement of the questions involved; (5) a statement of the case; or (6) a summary of the argument. See Pa.R .A.P. 2111. Moreover, t he brief contains no citation to authority, and Vogel fails to develop any legal argument whatsoever. See Pa.R.A.P. 2119. Accordingly, Vogel has waived all appellate issues. See Commonwealth v. Clayton , 816 A.2d 217 (Pa. 2002) (“[I]t is a well[

- ]settled principle of appellate jurisprudence that undeveloped claims are waived and unreviewable on appeal.”); see also Commonwealth v. Blakeney , 108 A.3d 739, 766 (Pa. 2014) (“Under Pennsylvania law, pro se [li tigants] are subject to the same rules of procedure as are represented defendants.”).J
