                                          Before Morriss, C.J.,
Carter and Moseley, JJ.
                                        Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Morriss

                                                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
 
            Appellant,
Jarvis Hill, filed a notice of appeal January 6, 2011, from his conviction for
aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. 
Hill also filed a motion for new trial. 
The trial court subsequently granted that motion for new trial, and Hill
has therefore filed a motion to dismiss his appeal.  
            When the
trial court grants a motion for new trial, it restores the case to its position
before the former trial.  Tex. R. App. P. 21.9(b).  Because there is no conviction from which to
appeal, we have no jurisdiction to consider Hill’s appeal.  See
Waller v. State, 931 S.W.2d 640, 643–44 (Tex. App.—Dallas 1996, no pet.).
            Consequently,
Hill’s motion to dismiss is granted, and we dismiss the appeal as moot.
