DOUGLAS, Judge.
It is shown by affidavit of the sheriff of McLennan County, Texas, that on July 5, 1970, after an appeal was taken to this Court, and while a motion for rehearing was pending before this Court, the appellant escaped from the custody of the sheriff and was at large until he was recaptured the following day. The State moves to dismiss the appeal.
The appeal should be dismissed under the provisions of Articles 44.09 and 44.10, V.A.C.C.P., and under the holdings in McGee v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 436 S.W.2d 340 and Leopard v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 429 S.W.2d 150.
The motion is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.
