THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 176th District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 1257678 MEMORANDUM OPINION A jury convicted appellant of possession of a controlled substance. On August 16, 2010, the trial court sentenced appellant to confinement for two years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Appellant filed a notice of appeal on September 14, 2010. On September 30, 2010, the trial court conducted a hearing to determine whether appellant desired to prosecute his appeal, and the record of the hearing was filed in this court on October 4, 2010. At the hearing, appellant confirmed that he no longer wished to pursue his appeal. Appellant has not filed a written motion to withdraw the appeal or a written motion to dismiss the appeal. See Tex.

However, based upon the testimony at the hearing that appellant does not want to continue his appeal, we conclude that good cause exists to suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in this case. See Tex. R. App. P. 2. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Anderson, Frost, and Brown. Do Not Publish C Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
