In The Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-14-00512-CR ——————————— CODIE ADOLPHUS GAMBOA, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 262nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1389108

MEMORANDUM OPINION On July 11, 2014, appellant, Codie Adolphus Gamboa, filed a motion to dismiss this appeal. The motion to dismiss complies with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.2(a) and no prior decision has issued in this case. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a). Accordingly, we grant the motion and dismiss this appeal.

On July 17, 2014, appellant subsequently filed a motion requesting that we expedite consideration of this matter so that appellant can be released from custody and begin serving his probation sentence. Although not specifically mentioned in appellant’s motion, we consider the motion as a request to expedite issuance of the mandate in this appeal. Because the motion to expedite demonstrates good cause to expedite issuance of the mandate, we grant the motion and the clerk of this Court is directed to issue the mandate immediately. See TEX. R. APP. P. 18.1(c).

We dismiss any other pending motions as moot.

PER CURIAM Panel consists of Justices Jennings, Bland, and Massengale.
