Sean Eric Griffin v. State ( 2020 )

NUMBER 13-20-00274-CR
COURT OF APPEALS
THIRTEENTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
CORPUS CHRISTI – EDINBURG
SEAN ERIC GRIFFIN, Appellant,
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.
On appeal from the 36th District Court
of San Patricio County, Texas.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Chief Justice Contreras and Justices Hinojosa and Perkes
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa
Appellant Sean Eric Griffin filed a notice of appeal from his judgments of conviction
for possession of child pornography and possession with intent to promote child
pornography. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 43.26(a), (g). Griffin has now filed a motion to
withdraw his appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a) (allowing appellate courts to dismiss
criminal appeals upon the appellant’s motion before the appellate court’s decision when
the attorney and appellant both sign a written motion to dismiss). We have not issued an
opinion in this case and the motion to withdraw meets the requirements of the appellate
rules insofar as it is signed by both appellant and his counsel. See id.
Accordingly, without passing on the merits of the case, we grant appellant’s motion
to dismiss and we dismiss the appeal. Having dismissed the appeal at appellant’s
request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.
