JOE TORRES,                                                                 Appellant,

                                          v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS,                                 Appellee.

              On appeal from the 28th District Court

                        MEMORANDUM OPINION
  Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Longoria
                 Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Counsel for appellant filed a motion to dismiss his appeal. In a signed attachment,

appellant states that he no longer wishes to pursue his appeal. We find the motion and

attachment together meet the requirement of Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a)

that appellant and his attorney must sign a written motion to dismiss the appeal. See

TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). Without passing on the merits of the case, we GRANT the
motion to dismiss pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) and DISMISS

the appeal. Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing

will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.



                                                        PER CURIAM



Do not publish.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
27th day of March, 2014.
