COURT OF APPEALS

SECOND DISTRICT OF TEXAS

FORT WORTH

MEMORANDUM OPINION1

On April 28, 2011, unbeknownst to Edmondson, the trial court had granted Edmondson's motion to vacate and set aside the order denying his request for appointment of counsel, and the trial court appointed John Stickels as counsel for Edmondson.

Edmondson has now filed a letter, asking that his notice of appeal “be disregarded and/or dismissed.” We construe Edmondson's letter as a motion to dismiss the appeal. The motion complies with rule 42.2(a) of the rules of appellate procedure. Tex.R.App. P. 42.2(a). No decision of this court having been delivered before we received this motion, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 42.2(a), 43.2(f).

PANEL: WALKER, MCCOY, and MEIER, JJ.
