PER CURIAM

Sitting: Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Beth Watkins, Justice

Delivered and Filed: July 24, 2019

DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION

A jury found Lawrence Cloud guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm and assessed

punishment at eight years in prison. Cloud filed a notice of appeal. However, the trial court

deferred pronouncing sentence pending an evaluation of Cloud’s competence. Sentence has not

yet been imposed or suspended in open court, and counsel has filed a motion to withdraw the

appeal. We grant the motion and dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
