On Appeal from the 337th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1143626

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Appellant, Leroy Sample, Jr., has filed a “Motion to Waive Direct Appeal,”

stating that he waives his right to appeal. We construe this motion as a motion to

dismiss the appeal. We have not issued a decision in the appeal, and the motion

complies with rule 42.2(a). See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). Further, although the motion does not contain a certificate of conference, the motion contains a

certificate of service stating that it was served on the State and has been on file

with the Court for more than 10 days, and the State has not responded or otherwise

expressed opposition to the motion. See TEX. R. APP. P. 10.1(a)(5), 10.3(a)(2).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). We

dismiss any pending motions as moot.
