IN THE INTEREST OF H.H., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 237th District Court
Lubbock County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2001-514,345, Honorable Leslie Hatch, Presiding
ON MOTION TO DISMISS
Before CAMPBELL and HANCOCK and PIRTLE, JJ.
On August 1, 2013, appellant, Gregory, filed a motion to dismiss his appeal. No decision of this Court having been delivered to date, we hereby grant his motion without passing on the merits of the case. Accordingly, we dismiss Gregory's appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1), 43.2(f).
We refer to appellant as "Gregory" to protect the identity of the child. See TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 109.002(d) (West 2014); TEX. R. APP. P. 9.8(b).
If dismissal will prevent appellee, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled, the Court directs the Department to file a timely motion for rehearing. Having dismissed the appeal at Gregory's request, the Court will not entertain a motion for rehearing filed on behalf of appellant.
