MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Vernon Boyd Beaty, by and through his attorney, has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal because he no longer desires to prosecute it. 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.
This appeal was transferred to this Court from the Ninth Court of Appeals by order of the Texas Supreme Court. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 22.220 (Vernon 2004) (delineating the jurisdiction of appellate courts); Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 73.001 (Vernon 2005) (granting the supreme court the authority to transfer cases from one court of appeals to another at any time that there is "good cause" for the transfer).
