MEMORANDUM OPINION AND JUDGMENT
We abated this appeal for the trial court to determine why appellant had not
timely filed a brief. In accordance with our order, the trial court held a hearing at
which the judge inquired whether appellant desired to continue his appeal. Appellant
stated unequivocally that after consulting with his attorney, he had voluntarily decided
not to continue his appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. See Hendrix v. State, 86
