OLIVER HART III, Appellant

v.

THE STATE OF TEXAS

---

ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW FROM THE SIXTH COURT OF APPEALS BOWIE COUNTY

---

   Keasler, J., delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court.

O P I N I O N

Oliver Hart III filed a pre-trial motion to dismiss alleging a denial of his constitutional right to a speedy trial. The trial court denied Hart's motion. A jury convicted Hart of possession of a controlled substance, and he was sentenced to forty-five years' imprisonment. In an unpublished opinion, the court of appeals affirmed the trial court's denial of Hart's motion. ⁽¹⁾

We granted Hart's petition for discretionary review to consider the court of appeals's decision affirming the trial court's denial of Hart's motion to dismiss. Having examined the record and briefs, we conclude that our decision to grant review was improvident. We therefore dismiss the appellant's petition for discretionary review as improvidently granted.
