                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

 Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Rodriguez and Benavides
                 Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Eshelle Saenz, was convicted of possession of a controlled substance.

On January 7, 2016, appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal. Appellant’s counsel failed

to request a reporter’s record and the reporter was advised that the appellant no longer

wished to pursue the appeal.
      On May 27, 2016, this Court abated the appeal and ordered the trial court to

determine whether appellant desired to prosecute this appeal. Based on the trial court

hearing, the trial court judge found that appellant no longer wishes to pursue the appeal

and has abandoned her appeal. The appeal is hereby REINSTATED.

      Although no written motion has been filed in compliance with Rule 42.2(a) of the

Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, based upon the findings of the trial court that

appellant does not wish to pursue the appeal and has abandoned it, 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 DISMISS the appeal.

                                                                    PER CURIAM

Do not publish.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).

Delivered and filed the
27th day of October, 2016.
