      A written request to withdraw the notice of appeal, personally signed by
appellant, has been filed with this court. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2. Because this
court has not delivered an opinion, we grant appellant’s request.

      Accordingly, we order the appeal dismissed. We direct the clerk of the court
to issue the mandate of the court immediately.
