On appeal from the 94th District Court
of Nueces County, Texas.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Garza
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, Jose Ramos, was convicted of assault. On January 13, 2010,
appellant filed a notice of appeal by and through his attorney. Counsel for appellant
subsequently informed this Court that appellant did not intend to prosecute his appeal.
Counsel filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, but the motion was denied because it did not
contain appellant’s signature. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2 (a).
On April 29, 2011, this Court abated the appeal because of counsel=s failure to file
a brief and ordered the trial court to determine whether appellant desired to prosecute this
appeal. Following the trial court hearing, the trial court issued an order that the appeal
be dismissed.
Although no written motion has been filed in compliance with Rule 42.2(a) of the
Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, based upon the order issued by the trial court we
conclude that appellant does not want to continue his appeal and 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.
PER CURIAM
Do not publish. See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
Delivered and filed the
4th day of August, 2011.
