On appeal from the 36th District Court of San Patricio County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa
Appellant Sean Eric Griffin filed a notice of appeal from his judgments of conviction for possession of child pornography and possession with intent to promote child pornography. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 43.26(a), (g). Griffin has now filed a motion to withdraw his appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a) (allowing appellate courts to dismiss criminal appeals upon the appellant's motion before the appellate court's decision when the attorney and appellant both sign a written motion to dismiss). We have not issued an opinion in this case and the motion to withdraw meets the requirements of the appellate rules insofar as it is signed by both appellant and his counsel. See id.
Accordingly, without passing on the merits of the case, we grant appellant's motion to dismiss and we dismiss the appeal. Having dismissed the appeal at appellant's request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
