V.
PAMELA L. COVIL, APPELLEE
On Appeal from the 223rd District Court
Gray County, Texas
Trial Court No. 33,157; Honorable Phil N. Vanderpool, Presiding
July 27, 2017
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and PIRTLE, JJ.
Proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, Appellant, Timothy Ray Covil, filed a
notice of appeal from the trial court’s final judgment awarding Appellee, Pamela L. Covil,
contractual alimony pursuant to a separation and property settlement agreement. After
perfecting this appeal but before the appellate record is due to be filed, Mr. Covil filed in
the trial court his request to “drop the pending appeal.” The request, which is signed by
Mr. Covil, was forwarded to this court by the Gray County District Clerk. We deem the
document as being filed in this court and grant Mr. Covil the requested relief. Without
passing on the merits of the case, this appeal is dismissed. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).
Having dismissed the appeal at Mr. Covil’s request, no motion for rehearing will be
entertained and our mandate will issue forthwith.
