MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
After a jury trial, appellant was convicted on June 6, 2024 of the second-degree felony offense of indecency with a child by sexual contact. Appellant was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in the Correctional Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Notice of appeal was filed on June 6, 2024.
On August 20, 2024, appellant's counsel, Thomas A. Martin filed a notice of abandonment, but attached to counsel's notice is a signed letter from appellant, stating that he no longer wants counsel's services and "would like to stop the appeals process." We interpret this notice, together with appellant's letter, as a request to dismiss the appeal because appellant no longer wishes to proceed with the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a).
We grant the request and dismiss the appeal. See id. Any other pending motions are dismissed as moot.
