MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Yañez, and Garza

Opinion Per Curiam

         Appellant, JOHN OCIE ROBERTS, perfected appeals from judgments entered by the County Court at Law No. 2 of Cameron County, Texas, in cause numbers 2001-CCR-8024-B and 2001-CCR-8027-B. On April 10, 2003, these causes were abated, and the trial court was directed to conduct a hearing in accordance with Tex. R. App. P. 38.8(b)(2). The trial court’s findings and recommendations were received on April 24, 2003. Appellant failed to appear for the April 15, 2003 hearing, and the trial court concluded that it appeared that appellant had chosen not to appeal his cases.

         The Court, having considered the documents on file and the trial court’s findings and recommendations, is of the opinion that the appeals should be dismissed. The appeals are hereby DISMISSED.
