LEVIE PICKENS, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 351st District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1675258
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 12, 2021, Appellant Levie Pickens filed a written, signed request to withdraw his notice of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). Because this court has not issued an opinion, we grant appellant's request and dismiss the appeal.
A motion for voluntary dismissal of a criminal case must be signed by appellant and his or her attorney. Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). Appellant was represented by retained counsel in the trial court, but he is not represented by counsel on appeal, nor does the record suggest that he has requested the trial court to appoint counsel to represent him on appeal. Under the circumstances, Rule 42.2(a) does not prohibit us from granting appellant's motion. See, e.g., Green v. State, No. 13-14-00393-CR, 2014 WL 3796420, at *1 (Tex. App.—Corpus Christi July 31, 2014, no pet.) (per curiam) (mem. op., not designated for publication). --------
