JAMODRIK LORENZO WILLIAMS, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 262nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1359702

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant was convicted of evading arrest and sentenced to confinement for two years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a notice of appeal on August 8, 2013.

On January 3, 2014, this court ordered a hearing to determine why appellant=s counsel had not filed a brief in this appeal. On January 7, 2014, the trial court conducted the hearing, and the record of the hearing was filed in this court on January 21, 2014.

At the hearing, appellant, together with his counsel, confirmed that he had discussed the issues with counsel and determined that appellant no longer wished to pursue his appeal.

Appellant has not filed a written motion to withdraw the appeal or a written motion to dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). However, based upon the testimony at the hearing that appellant does not want to continue his appeal, we conclude that good cause exists to suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in this case. See Tex. R. App. P. 2.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
