Curtis Joseph Sylvester has filed a motion to dismiss his appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2. He did not personally sign the motion. However, we have received the reporter's record of a hearing conducted in the trial court on September 18, 2009, at which Sylvester stated in open court that he waived his right to appeal in this case. No opinion has issued in this appeal. The appellant voluntarily waived his right to appeal his conviction in cause no. 08-04603. We find good cause exists for suspending the requirement that appellant personally sign the motion to dismiss the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 2. The motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is therefore dismissed.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
