Dismissed and Memorandum Opinion filed March 28, 2017. In The Fourteenth Court of Appeals NO. 14-16-00861-CR NO. 14-16-00862-CR JONATHAN BERRING, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 262nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Cause Nos. 1516562 & 1516563 MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant entered guilty pleas to the offenses of possession of less than one gram of cocaine, and retaliation. The trial court deferred findings of guilt and placed appellant on four years’ deferred adjudication community supervision. Appellant filed timely notices of appeal. On February 23, 2017, this court ordered a hearing to determine why appellant had not filed briefs in these appeals. On February 27, 2017, the trial court conducted the hearing, and the record of the hearing was filed in this court on March 3, 2017. At the hearing, appellant confirmed that he had no longer wished to pursue his appeals. Appellant has not filed a written motion to withdraw the appeals or a written motion to dismiss the appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). However, based upon the testimony at the hearing that appellant does not want to continue his appeals, we conclude that good cause exists to suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in these cases. See Tex. R. App. P. 2. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals. PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Boyce, Jamison, and Brown. Do Not Publish — Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b). 2
