                    Trial Cout1 Cause No. 15-042-CR

     APPELLANT'S CORRECTED MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:

      Appellant Leroy Edward Janecka, Jr. files this corrected motion to

dismiss appeal, and in support thereof respectfully states as follows:

      Appellant wishes to dismiss this appeal because he has entered into a

plea agreement in Trial Cout1 Cause No. 15-096-CR, State v. Leroy Edward

Janecka , with the agreement being that No. 15-096-CR would be dismissed

if this appeal was dismissed. Mr. Janecka has consulted with his attorney on

appeal in this case, and with the Colorado County Public Defender's Office,
which represents him in the case just referenced. Attached to this motion

is the November 2, 2015 letter from the Colorado County Public

Attorney's Office addressed to this writer discussing that agreement, which

is signed by both Mr. Janecka and his trial counsel in No. 15-096-CR.

Accordingly, appellant Leroy Edward Janecka, Jr. asks this court to dismiss

this appeal. Pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a), appellant has signed this

motion indicating he wishes to have this appeal dismissed.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, appellant Leroy Edward

Janecka, Jr. respectfully prays that this court grant this motion and dismiss

the appeal.
                                                                         mitted,

Re : State of Texas v. Leroy Janecka, Jr.; Cause No. 15-096

Mr. Sherwood :

I represent Leroy Janecka, Jr. for a charge of Manufacture I Delivery of a Controlled Substance in Penalty
Group 1, between 4 and 200 grams, in Cause No . 15-096 . As I understand, Mr. Janecka was already
convicted in several counts of CR 15-042, and has filed a notice of appeal under that cause number.

Mr. Janecka has reached an agreement with the Colorado County Attorney's office to abandon his
appeal of his convictions under cause number CR 15-042 . In return, Mr. Johannes has agreed to dismiss
Cause No. 15-096 .

If you would please file the necessary paperwork to dismiss the appeal on Mr. Janecka's behalf, I would
greatly appreciate your assistance . Upon receipt of conformation of the dismissal of the appeal, I would
ask that you forward same to me so I can secure the dismissal of Cause No. 15-096.
