MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT We abated this appeal for the trial court to determine why appellant had not timely filed a brief. In accordance with our order, the trial court held a hearing at which the judge inquired whether appellant desired to continue his appeal. Appellant stated unequivocally that after consulting with his attorney, he had voluntarily decided not to continue his appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Hendrix v.
