	Appellant, Rudyard Merriam, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the
284th District Court of Montgomery County, Texas, in cause number 05-06-05163 CV. 
Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal on grounds that he no longer desires to

the appeal.
	The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's motion to
dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted.  See Tex. R. App.
P. 42.1(a).  Appellant's motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED. 
The costs of the appeal are taxed against appellant.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.1(d) ("Absent
agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.").  Pending motions,
if any, are DISMISSED AS MOOT.  
	Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be
entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
