                ORDER ON APPELLANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL


Before BOYD, C.J., QUINN and JOHNSON, JJ.

       Richard James Sims, appellant, has moved to dismiss his appeal contending that he

“no longer desires to appeal the Judgment entered by the Court on May 17, 2001.” Without

passing on the merits of the case, we grant the motion pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate

Procedure 42.1(a)(2) and dismiss the appeal without prejudice. Having dismissed the appeal

at appellant’s personal request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate

will issue forthwith.
