PHILLIP WILKINSON, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

---

On Appeal from the 115th Judicial District Court Marion County, Texas Trial Court No. F12820

---

Before Morriss, C.J., Grant and Ross, JJ. Opinion by Justice Ross

O P I N I O N

Phillip Wilkinson has appealed from his conviction. His appointed attorney has sent us a letter written by Wilkinson in which he asks his counsel to "back off" the appeal because he is about to be released on parole. His counsel interprets this as a request to withdraw the appeal and therefore has asked this Court to dismiss the appeal. The motion is granted. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2.

The appeal is dismissed.
