RODNEY KEITH LONG,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the 66th District Court
Hill County, Texas
Trial Court # 30,149
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On March 20, 1996, we received a copy of Rodney Long's notice of appeal and the trial court clerk's information form regarding his appeal. // Tex. R. App. P. 40(b)(1). According to these sources, Long pled guilty to "Forgery by Passing", and his probation was continued with the added requirement that he enter a Substance Abuse Felony Punishment Facility. On June 6, 1996, he filed a motion to withdraw his notice of appeal and asks that we dismiss his appeal.
In the relevant portion, Rule 59 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure states:
(b) Criminal Cases. The appeal may be dismissed if the appellant withdraws his notice of appeal at any time prior to the decision of the appellate court. The withdrawal shall be in writing signed by the appellant and his counsel and filed in duplicate with the clerk of the court of appeals in which the appeal is pending . . . . Notice of the dismissal shall be sent to the clerk of the trial court in which notice of appeal was filed.
Id. 59(b).
Long and his attorney have both signed the motion, as required by the rule. Id. We have not issued a decision in this appeal. Thus, his notice of appeal is withdrawn.
Long's appeal is dismissed. Id.
