David Mellema pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and the court assessed punishment of twenty-four months' confinement in the county jail, probated, and a $500 fine. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 49.04 (Vernon 1994). On February 20, 1996, his probation was revoked and the original sentence imposed.

Notice of the dismissal shall be sent to the clerk of the trial court in which notice of appeal was filed.
Tex. R. App. P. 59(b).
Mellema and his attorney have both signed the motion, as required by the rule. Id. We have not issued a decision in this appeal. Thus, his notice of appeal is withdrawn.
Mellema's appeal is dismissed. Id.
