The State of Texas, Appellee

On Appeal from the 174th District Court

Trial Court Case No. 1109073

MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Appellant, Arthur Lee Jackson, was convicted in trial court cause number 1109073 of the offense of murder and sentenced to confinement for 20 years.  Appellant filed a notice of appeal and the appeal was assigned to this court as appellate number 01-09-00717-CR.  Appellant also filed a timely motion for new trial.

          When appellant’s brief was not timely filed, we abated this appeal and remanded the case to the trial court to determine if appellant desired to pursue his appeal.  In response to our order of  abatement, appellant’s counsel notified the Clerk of this Court that the trial court had granted appellant’s motion for new trial. We reinstate the appeal. 

          The appeal of appellant’s judgment of conviction is now moot.  Tex. R. App. P. 21.9.

          Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as moot.

          Any pending motions are dismissed as moot.
