TO THE OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER:

      NOW COMES THE DEFENDANT/APPELLANT and requests that

the notice of appeal previously filed by the defendant/appellant pro se be

withdrawn. Said notice was filed on October 14, 2015.

      Jerry Nolan, the defendant/appellant in this case, after consulting with

his appointed counsel Ronald L. Goranson, hereby states that Mr. Goranson

has explained his rights to appeal in situations where there was a plea

bargain followed by the trial court and where he, the defendant/appellant has

filed a waiver of appeal. Defendant /Appellant has also discussed possible

grounds of error on appeal and how some grounds are better raised in an Art.

11.07 Texas Code of Criminal Procedure writ of habeas corpus. Mr.

Goranson has given defendant/appellant copies of the relevant plea

documents and notifications filed in this case. After this consultation,

Defendant/appellant hereby knowingly and intentionally wishes to withdraw

his notice of appeal.
