                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Pending before the Court is a motion to dismiss this appeal filed by Appellant, D.D.H.,

pursuant to TEX.R.APP.P. 42.1(a)(1). The motion is supported by a letter from D.D.H. stating that

he has discussed the appeal with his attorney and he understands the consequences of its dismissal.

We conclude that this is sufficient to show that D.D.H. has knowingly waived his right to appeal.

Accordingly, the motion to dismiss the appeal is granted.
