““There is no constitutional obligation to inform an indigent of the right to appeal unless he expresses some desire to seek an appeal. * * * Petitioner must take some positive action on his own behalf. The state cannot suppress an indigent’s effort to appeal, but it need not solicit appeals.” (at 881).”
