There appears in the record a request that the appeal be dismissed, but same is signed only by appellant's attorney. A request for dismissal must be executed by the appellant in person and properly authenticated. See 4 Tex. Jur., p. 497, sec. 347; Jennings v. State, 68 Tex.Crim. R., 151 S.W. 1050; Catron v.

The judgment is affirmed.
