We have considered appellant’s “Motion To Withdraw And Dismiss The Appeal.”  Although appellant has not signed the motion in compliance  with rule 42.2(a) of the rules of appellate procedure, appellant stated at an abatement hearing held in the trial court on August 4, 2003, that he no longer wishes to pursue his appeal.
