Opinion:
OPINION ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
McCORMICK, Presiding Judge.
Appellant was convicted of, among other things, burglary of a habitation and escape. The Court of Appeals affirmed appellant's convictions. Francis v. State, 896 S.W.2d 406 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1995) (not yet reported). We granted appellant's petition for discretionary review to address the Court of Appeals' holding that a police officer's initial seizure of appellant was "a classic example of a valid temporary investigative detention."
We now find that our decision to grant appellant's petition for discretionary review was improvident. See Tex.RApp.Pro. 202(k). Appellant's petition for discretionary review is dismissed.
