Cody John Hicks, Appellant, v. The State of Texas, Appellee.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 16, 2015, the appeal was abated because appellant's counsel had not filed a brief. Counsel for appellant has filed a motion to withdraw and dismiss the appeal. In a signed affidavit attached to the motion, appellant states that he wants the Court to grant the motion to dismiss the appeal and allow the conviction to become final. This appeal is hereby REINSTATED.
We find the motion and attachment together meet the requirement of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) that appellant and his attorney must sign a written motion to dismiss the appeal. See Tex.R.App. P. 42.2(a). Without passing on the merits of the case, we GRANT the motion to dismiss pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) and DISMISS the appeal. Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
