On January 27, 2023, Ayorinde filed a letter informing the court it had his “permission to dismiss the appeal.” We notified him we construed his letter as a motion requesting voluntary dismissal of this appeal pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1(a)(1). See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1) (stating court may dismiss appeal on appellant’s motion). We ordered Ayorinde to file a response by February 21, 2023, if he was not seeking voluntary dismissal of his appeal. We cautioned him if we did not receive a response by that date, we would act on the motion and dismiss the appeal. See id. R. 2, 42.1(a)(1). Ayorinde has not filed a response. Accordingly, we grant Ayorinde’s motion and dismiss the appeal. See Miller v. Hooker, No. 07-21-00054-CV, 04-23-00003-CV
