Fourteenth Court of Appeals
NO. 14-13-00822-CR
JAMODRIK LORENZO WILLIAMS, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 262nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1359702
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant was convicted of evading arrest and sentenced to confinement for
two years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Appellant filed a notice of appeal on August 8, 2013.
On January 3, 2014, this court ordered a hearing to determine why
appellant=s counsel had not filed a brief in this appeal. On January 7, 2014, the
trial court conducted the hearing, and the record of the hearing was filed in this
court on January 21, 2014.
At the hearing, appellant, together with his counsel, confirmed that he had
discussed the issues with counsel and determined that appellant no longer wished
to pursue his appeal.
Appellant has not filed a written motion to withdraw the appeal or a written
motion to dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). However, based upon
the testimony at the hearing that appellant does not want to continue his appeal, we
conclude that good cause exists to suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in this
case. See Tex. R. App. P. 2.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.
