Fourth Court of Appeals
                                  San Antonio, Texas
                                        February 8, 2023

                                      No. 04-23-00003-CV

                                      Taiwo AYORINDE,
                                          Appellant

                                                v.

                                     Opeyemi AKINYELE,
                                          Appellee

                  From the 285th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
                                Trial Court No. 2021CI26444
                          Honorable Martha Tanner, Judge Presiding

                                         ORDER

         On January 3, 2023, appellant Taiwo Ayorinde filed a notice of appeal challenging a final
judgment signed on October 5, 2022. On January 27, 2023, appellant filed a letter informing the
court it had his “permission to dismiss the appeal.” We construe appellant’s letter as a motion
requesting voluntary dismissal of this appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure
42.1(a)(1). See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1) (stating court may dismiss appeal on motion of
appellant). If appellant is not seeking a voluntary dismissal of his appeal, we order appellant to
file a response by February 21, 2023. If we do not receive a response by that date, then we will
act on the motion and dismiss the appeal. See id. R. 2, 42.1(a)(1).

                                                     _________________________________

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the seal of the said
