MEMORANDUM OPINION

Â Â Â Â Â Â A jury convicted Appellant Johnny Richard Wells of resisting arrest. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. Â§ 38.03 (Vernon 1994). The jury assessed Wellsâs punishment at six monthsâ confinement and a $1,500 fine. Wells 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 courtâs 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).

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

Â Â Â Â Â Â Wellsâs appeal is dismissed.

Appeal dismissed; motion to extend time denied

Opinion delivered and filed June 29, 2011

[CV06]

[1] Initially, the motion to extend was filed in case number 10-10-00273-CV, as that case number was listed in the motionÂs style and that case involved most of the same parties.Â We have determined that the motion should have been filed as a new appeal.

[2] We assume without deciding that this case is properly characterized as a restricted appeal.

[3] The District Clerk has provided us with a file-marked copy of the judgments, as have Appellees with their response to AppellantsÂ motion to extend time.
