Ray Gene ARRINGTON v. The STATE of Texas
Order
Appellant pled guilty to driving while intoxicated and the trial court sentenced him to confinement for one year, probated for eighteen months and a fine of $500. This court affirmed the conviction in an opinion delivered July 2, 2019. On January 8, 2020, Arrington filed a petition for discretionary review.
Appellant has died, and his counsel filed a motion to dismiss the petition for discretionary review and permanently abate the appeal. On January 29, 2020, the Court of Criminal Appeals granted the motion and dismissed the petition for discretionary review. See Tex. R. App. P. 7.1(a)(2).
We withdraw our opinion issued July 2, 2019 and permanently abate the appeal of this case.
It is so ORDERED.
Peter Kelly, Justice
