Delivered and Filed: March 1, 2023

MOTION GRANTED; APPEAL DISMISSED

           Appellant Taiwo Ayorinde filed a notice of appeal challenging a final judgment signed on

October 5, 2022. On January 27, 2023, Ayorinde filed a letter informing the court it had his

“permission to dismiss the appeal.” We notified him we construed his 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 appellant’s motion). We ordered

Ayorinde to file a response by February 21, 2023, if he was not seeking voluntary dismissal of his

appeal. We cautioned him if we did not receive a response by that date, we would act on the motion

and dismiss the appeal. See id. R. 2, 42.1(a)(1). Ayorinde has not filed a response. Accordingly,

we grant Ayorinde’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See Miller v. Hooker, No. 07-21-00054-CV,
                                                                                    04-23-00003-CV

2021 WL 2189019, at *1 (Tex. App.—Amarillo May 28, 2021, no pet.) (mem. op.) (construing

letter filed by appellant as motion requesting voluntary dismissal and dismissing appeal).
