MEMORANDUM OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, THEODORE JUNIOR GATES, perfected appeals from judgments entered by the 180th District Court of Harris County, Texas, in cause numbers 1026787 and 1026788. On October 20, 2005, this cause was abated, and the trial court was directed to conduct a hearing to determine why counsel failed to comply with an order issued by this Court directing counsel to review the record and advise this Court as to whether appellant has a right to appeal. The trial court was further directed to make certain findings regarding whether appellant desired to prosecute his appeals, whether appellant was indigent, and whether appellant was entitled to appointed counsel. The trial court's findings and recommendations were received on November 19, 2005. The trial court found that appellant does not wish to prosecute his appeals. The Court, having considered the documents on file and the trial court's findings and recommendations, is of the opinion that the appeals should be dismissed. The appeals are hereby DISMISSED.
