On Appeal from the 434th District Court Fort Bend County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 22-DCR-099095

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Kirolos Hany Faltaous appealed from the trial court’s April 9, 2024 judgment

of conviction. Faltaous, through his appointed counsel, has now filed a motion to

voluntarily dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2. The motion is accompanied

by an unsworn declaration by Faltaous. In his declaration, Faltaous states that “it is [his] decision to withdraw [his] appeal” and that he “no longer wish[es] to prosecute

this appeal.” And he asks this Court to dismiss the appeal.

Faltaous’s appointed counsel has signed the motion, and Faltaous has signed

the declaration. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). We have not issued a decision in the

appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(b).

Accordingly, we grant Faltaous’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 42.2(a), 43.2(f). We dismiss any other pending motions as moot.
