We have before the Court a motion from the appellant, Jorge Avila, to withdraw his appeal pursuant to Tex. R. App. P. 42.2. The motion is signed by appellant personally, acting pro se following withdrawal of appellate counsel after filing a brief which certifies counsel could find no arguable error upon which to base an appeal. No opinion has issued in this appeal. The appellant requests immediate issuance of the mandate. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1(c).

The motion to withdraw as counsel is GRANTED. Jorge Avila is enrolled pro se. It is further ORDERED that the motion to withdraw notice of appeal be GRANTED and the appeal is therefore DISMISSED. The Clerk of the Court shall forward a duplicate copy of this Order to the clerk of the court in which the notice of appeal was filed. The mandate shall issue immediately.
