In the motion, Washington states his decision to dismiss “has been made freely and voluntarily, and only afther it’s consequence’s have been fully explained by appellate counsel.” [sic]. However, appellant further states “[t]his is a coercion involved,” leading this Court to question whether the request to dismiss is willingly made. The motion, as written, is DENIED. If Washington still wishes to dismiss this appeal, he should file another motion to dismiss which clarifies that Washington’s decision to seek dismissal of his appeal was made freely, voluntarily, and without coercion. It is so ORDERED.
