MICHAEL ANTHONY VARGAS,                                                      Appellee.

                On appeal from the County Court at Law No. 5
                        of Cameron County, Texas.

                           MEMORANDUM OPINION

                  Before Justices Longoria, Silva, and Peña
                  Memorandum Opinion by Justice Longoria

        The State appealed the trial court’s order granting appellee Michael Anthony

Vargas’s motion to suppress.

        The State has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, signed by the State’s attorney,

arguing that the appeal is moot because appellee is now deceased. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.2.
      We grant the State’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See id. 43.2(f). Having

dismissed the State’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our

mandate will issue forthwith.

                                                         NORA L. LONGORIA
