MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM
Appellant, Jason Shayne Bates, has filed a "Voluntary Motion to Dismiss Appeal with Expediency for Appellant's New Sentence to Begin Without Delay," stating that he "no longer wishes to conduct this appeal" and requesting that the Court dismiss his appeal.
Appellant and his attorney have signed the motion, and this Court has not issued a decision. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). Although appellant failed to include a certificate of conference, more than ten days have passed, and the State has not expressed opposition to appellant's motion. See Tex. R. App. P. 10.3(a).
Accordingly, we grant appellant's motion and dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a), 43.2(f). We dismiss any other pending motions as moot.
