      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 426TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
            NO. 69010, HONORABLE JOHN GAUNTT, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Appointed counsel for appellant Claude Windell Montgomery has filed a motion

to withdraw supported by an Anders brief concluding that this appeal is frivolous and without merit.

See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). After the brief was filed, Montgomery filed a pro se

motion to dismiss his appeal. We grant Montgomery’s pro se motion and dismiss the appeal. See

Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a), 43.2(f).1 Counsel’s motion to withdraw is dismissed as moot.
