ORDER DISMISSING APPEAL

       _______________________________

Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.

Appellant, Shaun Michael Ray, has filed with this Court a letter stating that he “prematurely filed my notice of appeal” and that “at this time I have nothing to appeal.”  We interpret it as a request to dismiss his appeal, and without passing on the merits of the case, we grant the motion pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1).  The appeal is dismissed.  Having dismissed the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
