MEMORANDUM Opinion
Appellant filed a notice of appeal from an instructed verdict (after jury impaneled and sworn) of not guilty for inciting a riot. We sent a letter to Sheehan on December 16, 2004 stating: "Preliminary documents sent to this court indicate that a jury found you not guilty in Trial Cause No. 239547. Within 20 days from the date of this letter, this court requests that you show reasonable grounds why this appeal should not be dismissed." Sheehan responded with a motion to proceed as indigent and an oath of indigency. This response is not reasonable grounds to continue an appeal of a not guilty judgment. Thus, we dismiss this appeal.
