Pa.R.A.P. 1925(a) with the original custody order and the May 13, 2015 order attached; thus, we are unable to verify the factual and procedural history contained in the court's opinion. Nevertheless, our disposition of Father's case remains the same.

brief; it also informed Father that no further extensions would be granted
and that Father's failure to file his brief by September 18, 2015, would result
in the immediate dismissal of his appeal. On September 30, 2015, this
Court received Father's appellate brief, which he hand-dated as September

Father raises the following issues for our review:
HOW CAN THE COURT IGNORE THE CRIES OF A FATHER AND SON WHO WANT A RELATIONSHIP?
HOW CAN THE COURT NOT TAKE CAUTION OF THE FACT THAT OUR SON MISSES ME AND WANTS TO SEE ME?
HOW CAN THE COURT SIDE WITH A HOSTILE MOTHER WHO OBJECTS TO [SON] AND [FATHER] HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT CAUSE OR REASON?

HOW CAN A COURT OF LAW SUPPORT/CONDONE ACTS OF TERRORISM BY JUSTIFYING A MOTHER HOLDING A CHILD HOSTAGE FROM THE FATHER?

This Court may quash or dismiss an appeal if the appellant fails to conform to the requirements set forth in the Pennsylvania Rules of Appellate Procedure. Id. Although this Court is willing to liberally construe materials filed by a pro se litigant, pro se status confers no special benefit upon the appellant.
