THE STATE OF TEXAS,

Appellee

From the Criminal District Court 5

Dallas County, Texas

Trial Court # F98-45818-SL

O P I N I O N

Appellant Anthony Martin perfected an appeal in December of 1999, but now seeks to dismiss it. In relevant portion, Rule 42.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure states:

(a) At any time before the appellate court s decision, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal if the appellant withdraws his or her notice of appeal. The appellant and his or her attorney must sign the written withdrawal and file it in duplicate with the appellate clerk, who must immediately send the duplicate copy to the trial court clerk.

Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). We have not issued a decision in this appeal. The motion is signed by both Martin and his attorney. We find that this is in substantial compliance with the requirement that both the appellant and his attorney sign a written withdrawal. Id. A copy has been sent to the trial court clerk. Id.

This appeal is dismissed.
