                  Before Justices Whitehill, Partida-Kipness, and Pedersen, III
                                Opinion by Justice Pedersen, III
       On May 23, 2019, a supplemental clerk’s record was filed containing appellant’s two pro

se motions to dismiss this appeal. The motions are handwritten and signed by appellant, but they

are not signed by her counsel. Under Rule 42.2(a) of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, both

the appellant and her attorney “must sign the written motion to dismiss.” TEX. R. CIV. P. 42.2(a).

On May 29, 2019, this Court forwarded a copy of appellant’s motions to her counsel, Eric

Labovitz, and requested that Labovitz file a supplemental motion to dismiss should he agree that

this appeal should be dismissed. On July 10, 2019, Labowitz filed a motion dismiss and requested

that we withdraw appellant’s notice of appeal and dismiss her appeal. We GRANT the foregoing

motions to dismiss. See id.
       We dismiss the appeal.
