Glenn Everett Tippett v. State
Glenn Everett Tippett v. State
Opinion
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Paul W. Green, Justice
Sarah B. Duncan, Justice
Karen Angelini, Justice
Delivered and filed: September 22, 1999
APPEALS DISMISSED
On July 21, 1999, we remanded these appeals to the trial court for a hearing to determine whether appellant desires to prosecute his appeal, whether he is indigent, and whether counsel has abandoned the appeal. The appellant, after notice of the hearing from the trial court, filed motions in the trial court to abandon the appeal in both cases. The motions to abandon appeal are signed by both the appellant and his counsel.
On August 16, 1999, the trial court filed the Clerk's Record in both cases, including the court's findings of fact and conclusions of law. The trial court noted that the appellant filed motions to abandon the appeal in both cases, found that the appellant does not desire to prosecute either of the appeals, and found that the issue of indigency is moot due to the abandonment of the appeals.(1)
We find that Appellant is entitled to a voluntary dismissal of both appeals. The
appeals are dismissed. Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). Our mandate may be issued early upon
proper motion. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1(c).
PER CURIAM
DO NOT PUBLISH
1. The trial court found that the issue of indigency had not been resolved other than through the fact that appellant has been represented by non-court appointed counsel and failed to file an affidavit of indigency or other request for relief.
