                     DARIAS DENERE ADKINS, Appellant

                                          V.

                       THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

                    On Appeal from the 405th District Court
                           Galveston County, Texas
                      Trial Court Cause No. 22-CR-2015

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On July 11, 2023, a notice of appeal was filed with the trial court in this matter.
On August 23, 2023, appellant’s counsel filed a motion to withdraw the notice of
appeal. The motion reflects that appellant communicated to his counsel that he did
not want to pursue this appeal. Moreover, the motion was accompanied by a
transcript of a hearing the trial court held on August 3, 2023, which appellant,
appellant’s counsel, and counsel for the State attended.          During the hearing,
appellant repeatedly reaffirmed that he did not want to pursue this appeal.

      Appellant has not signed the motion to withdraw the notice of appeal. See Tex.
R. App. P. 42.2(a). However, based upon the testimony at the hearing that appellant
does not want to pursue this 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 grant the motion and dismiss the appeal.

                                   PER CURIAM
