VERNON CHRIS SHELTON, APPELLANT

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE

On Appeal from the 46th District Court Hardeman County, Texas Trial Court No. 4272, Honorable Dan Mike Bird, Presiding

October 21, 2015

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

Appellant, Vernon Chris Shelton, appealed four convictions for the offense of

aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Appellant was sentenced to confinement in

the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for a term of 15

years for Count I; 5 years for Count II; 5 years for Count III; and 5 years for Count IV.

The terms of confinement for Counts II, III, and IV were suspended, and appellant was

placed on community supervision for a term of 5 years. Each of the sentences will run concurrently. On October 13, 2015, appellant’s counsel filed a Motion to Dismiss

Appeal.

Because the motion meets the requirements of Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 42.2(a), and this Court has not delivered its decision prior to receiving it, the

motion is hereby granted and 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.
