ORDER
ROBBIE PARTIDA-KIPNESS PRESIDING JUSTICE
Before the Court is appellant's pro se motions to dismiss the appeals. The motions are signed by appellant, but the motions are not signed by appellant's appointed attorney, who has filed in each case a motion to withdraw from representing appellant pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) requires, "The appellant and his or her attorney must sign the motion to dismiss . . . ." Tex.R.App.P. 42.2(a). Accordingly, appellant's pro se motions to dismiss the appeals are DENIED because the motions are not signed by appellant and his attorney. The denial of the motions is without prejudice to the filing of motions to dismiss the appeals that are signed by both appellant and his attorney as required by Rule 42.2(a).
