MEMORANDUM OPINION

      A jury convicted Appellant Ricky Joseph Miller of aggravated sexual assault of a child. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.021(a)(1)(B)(i), (2)(B) (Vernon Supp. 1998). The jury assessed Miller’s punishment at five years’ imprisonment. Miller has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal. In relevant portion, Rule 42.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure states:

(a) At any time before the appellate court’s decision, the appellate court may dismiss the appeal if the appellant withdraws his or her notice of appeal. The appellant and his or her attorney must sign the written withdrawal and file it in duplicate with the appellate clerk, who must immediately send the duplicate copy to the trial court clerk.

Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a).

      We have not issued a decision in this appeal. The motion is signed by both Miller and his attorney. Thus, the motion meets the requirements of the rules and is granted.

      Miller’s appeal is dismissed.
