IN THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE

FIRST DISTRICT OF TEXAS

LARRY THOMAR DORAL §

Appellant § Case No. 01-14-00393-CR

§ Trial Court Case No. 1393714 351 ST District Court

v. §

§ Harris County, Texas

STATE OF TEXAS §

Appellee §

MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL

Appellant Larry Thomar Doral, through counsel, moves the Court to permit him

to dismiss his appeal of the above cases for the following reasons:

Mr. Doral does not believe the appeal will be successful and believes the dismissal

is in his best interest so that he can transfer to TCDJ in order to receive his state

identification number and prepare for his next parole interview.

This Court abated Mr. Doral’s appeal and ordered the trial court to hold hearing

on the issues of whether Mr. Doral wished to pursue his appeal and, if so, whether

appellate counsel had abandoned the appeal. The outcome of that hearing, held March

19, 2015, was the appointment of this office to Mr. Doral’s case and the withdrawal of

Arden Morley.

Bob Wicoff, of this office, spoke to Mr. Doral at the hearing and advised him that

his appeal was not viable, due to his plea of true to the state’s motion to adjudicate. Mr.

Doral previously had been interviewed by a parole officer in Harris County Jail and had

heard nothing from the Parole Board. He wishes to transfer to TDCJ as soon as possible

so he can get his State ID number and prepare for his next parole review.

Mr. Doral’s letter requesting that this office move to dismiss his appeal is attached.

In view of the above, Mr. Doral asks this Court to dismiss his appeal.

Respectfully submitted,

ALEXANDER BUNIN

Chief, Harris County Public Defender’s Office
