On June 2, 2004, Appellant filed a notice of appeal in this case as well as a motion for new trial.  On July 6, 2004, the trial court granted Appellant’s motion for new trial.  As Appellant points out in his unopposed motion to dismiss the appeal, the appeal is now moot. (footnote: 2)  Because the appeal has become moot, we suspend the requirement that Appellant must personally sign the motion to dismiss. (footnote: 3)  We grant Appellant’s motion to dismiss and dismiss the appeal. (footnote: 4)
