MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Wright and Justices Myers and Brown
On May 22, 2015, appellant filed a pro se motion to dismiss the appeal. A copy of the
motion was sent to appellate counsel, who was directed to sign the copy if he concurred in
appellant’s decision and return it to the Court. Rather than signing the copy and returning it to
the Court, on May 28, 2015, counsel filed a motion to withdraw as counsel, in which he states he
conferred with appellant regarding her decision, and that he has confirmed appellant does desire
to abandon her appeal. He attached a copy of appellant’s statement that she understood the
consequences of dismissing her appeal, and agreed to counsel’s decision to withdraw. On May
29, 2015, appellant filed a second pro se motion to dismiss her appeal. We will read these
documents together to constitute a motion to dismiss the appeal under Texas Rule of Appellate
Procedure 42.2(a).
The Court GRANTS the motion and ORDERS that the appeal be DISMISSED and this
decision be certified below for observance. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a).
