                         MEMORANDUM OPINION

      William Youani Ocampo filed a pro se notice of appeal from Trial Cause

Numbers 22-11-14963 and 22-11-14964. On November 3, 2023, we abated the

appeals and remanded the cases to the trial court for the trial court to determine

whether the appellant desires to appeal his convictions and whether he is indigent.

The trial court’s records indicate that on December 19, 2023, Ocampo appeared

before the trial court and expressed his desire to withdraw his notice of appeal.

                                        1
Ocampo personally signed a request to dismiss the appeal with the trial court and it

was also forwarded to this Court.

      Appellant’s written and personally signed statement that he no longer wants

to proceed with his appeals constitutes good cause to suspend the operation of Rule

42.2(a) in accordance with Rule 2. See Tex. R. App. P. 2, 42.2(a). The appellant has

voluntarily abandoned the appeals. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals. See Tex.

R. App. P. 43.2(f).

      APPEALS DISMISSED.
