On Appeal from the 268th District Court, Fort Bend County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. 41934.
Panel consists of Justices JENNINGS, KEYES, and HIGLEY.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Because appellant filed a motion requesting self-representation, we abated this appeal and ordered a hearing in the trial court. The trial court conducted the hearing on October 24, 2008, and the supplemental record of that hearing has been filed in this Court. At the hearing, appellant stated that he wished to withdraw this appeal. Appellant has not filed a written motion to withdraw the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). However, given appellant's expressed desire to forego pursuit of his appeal, we conclude that good cause exists to suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in this case in accordance with Rule 2. See Tex. R. App. P. 2. We have not yet issued a decision. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. Any pending motions are denied as moot. The clerk of this Court is directed to issue the mandate within 10 days. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1.
The appeal was reinstated by separate order.
