THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 283rd District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. F87-70227-T

OPINION PER CURIAM

Before Chief Justice Thomas and Justices Maloney and Hankinson

Charles William Randies appeals his conviction for unlawful possession of cocaine. Punishment was assessed at eight years in prison.

On August 23, 1996, we ordered the trial court to conduct ahearing to determine whether appellant desired to pursue his appeal, and if so, to determine whether appeUant was indigent and entitled to appointed counsel. On October 28, 1996, we received the supplemental transcript containing the trial ... i^J^^#?.l^^^&ft^>l^?*

court's findings of fact and recommendations. The trial court found that appellant was

served notice of the hearing by serving him at 701 Cherry Lane in White Settlement, but

appellant did not appear at the hearing. Based on appellant's failure to appear, the trial court concluded appellant no longer wishes to pursue his appeal and recommended

dismissing the appeal.

The supplemental transcript also contains the affidavit of Regina Grimes, assistant general counsel for the Legal Affairs Division for the Parole Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Ms. Grimes stated that appellant was declared an absconder and a prerevocation warrant was issued for his arrest on August 26, 1996. We adopt the trial court's determination that appellant no longer desires to pursue his appeal. Because no brief has been filed, no contentions of error are properly before us for review.1 Our examination of the record does not disclose any fundamental error.

We affirm the trial court's judgment.
