     v.

     THE STATE OF TEXAS,
                                                                              Appellee

MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                                                                                                

      A jury convicted Allen Charles Day of the offense of possession of a controlled substance and
assessed punishment at two years' incarceration in a state jail facility and a fine of $10,000.  Tex.
Health & Safety Code Ann. § 481.115 (Vernon Supp. 1997); Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 12.35
(Vernon 1994).  Seeking to appeal his conviction, Day filed a pro se notice of appeal on April 28,
1997.  This court abated Day’s appeal on September 3, 1997, for the trial court to consider Day’s
request for the appointment of appellate counsel.  Day has now filed a motion to voluntarily
dismiss his appeal.  
      In relevant portion, the appellate rule governing voluntary dismissals in criminal appeals
states:
At any time before the appellate court’s decision, the appellate court may dismiss the
appeal if the appellant withdraws his or her notice of appeal.  The appellant and his or
her attorney must sign the written withdrawal and file it in duplicate with the appellate
clerk. . . .

Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a).

      We have not issued a decision in this appeal.  Day’s motion meets the requirements of the rule
and is granted.
      Day's appeal is dismissed.
