                  MEGHAN NICOLE SPILLANE, Appellant
                                        V.
                       THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

          On Appeal from the County Criminal Court at Law No. 10
                           Harris County, Texas
                       Trial Court Case No. 1810065

                          MEMORANDUM OPINION

      On March 20, 2012, the trial court sentenced appellant, Meghan Nicole

Spillane. On April 19, 2012, appellant timely filed a motion for new trial, and on

April 24, 2012, appellant timely filed a notice of appeal. Subsequent to the filing

of her notice of appeal, on June 1, 2012, the trial court granted appellant’s motion
for new trial. The granting of a motion for new trial restores the case to its position

before the former trial. See TEX. R. APP P. 21.9(b). No motion to withdraw the

notice of appeal has been filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2. However, the appeal

was rendered moot by the order granting a new trial. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.9(b).

      Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as moot. See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f).

We dismiss any pending motions as moot.
