PAMELA L. COVIL, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the 223rd District Court Gray County, Texas Trial Court No. 33,157; Honorable Phil N. Vanderpool, Presiding

July 27, 2017

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

Proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, Appellant, Timothy Ray Covil, filed a

notice of appeal from the trial court’s final judgment awarding Appellee, Pamela L. Covil,

contractual alimony pursuant to a separation and property settlement agreement. After

perfecting this appeal but before the appellate record is due to be filed, Mr. Covil filed in

the trial court his request to “drop the pending appeal.” The request, which is signed by Mr. Covil, was forwarded to this court by the Gray County District Clerk. We deem the

document as being filed in this court and grant Mr. Covil the requested relief. Without

passing on the merits of the case, this appeal is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).

Having dismissed the appeal at Mr. Covil’s request, no motion for rehearing will be

entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.
