GEORGE DAVID STEPHENS, Appellant


V.


THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee




On Appeal from the 163rd District Court
Orange County, Texas

Trial Cause No. B-050509-R




MEMORANDUM OPINION
	Appellate jurisdiction is invoked by giving timely and proper notice of appeal.  White
v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424, 428 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001).  George David Stephens asserts that
the notice of appeal was not signed personally by him or by his counsel.  See Tex. R. App.
P. 9.1.  He requests that the notice of appeal be withdrawn.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2.  A
request to dismiss the appeal is signed by appellant personally and acting pro se.  No opinion
has issued in this appeal.  The motion is granted, and the appeal is therefore dismissed.
	APPEAL DISMISSED.
