CHRISTOPHER DANIEL ROBINSON, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee


On Appeal from the 183rd District Court Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1458019

ORDER

Appellant is represented by appointed counsel, Juan M. Contreras, Jr. Contreras filed appellant's brief on May 19, 2017.

On May 23, 2017, this court received a handwritten motion that states appellant no longer wishes to pursue his appeal and asks us to dismiss the appeal. There is no indication the motion was sent to Contreras. The motion is not signed by Contreras and therefore does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a). See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a) (stating appellant and his attorney must sign motion for voluntary dismissal of criminal case).

Appellant is not entitled to hybrid representation by counsel and himself. Patrick v. State, 906 S.W. 2d 481, 498 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). If appellant desires to withdraw his notice of appeal, he must do so through his attorney.

Accordingly, the motion is denied without prejudice to the filing of a motion that complies with Rule 42.2(a).
