(1) On Motion of Appellant. In accordance with a motion of appellant, the court may dismiss the appeal or affirm the appealed judgment or order unless disposition would prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled.
(2) By Agreement. In accordance with an agreement signed by the parties or their attorneys and filed with the clerk, the court may:
(A) render judgment effectuating the parties' agreements;
(B) set aside the trial court's judgment without regard to the merits and remand the case to the trial court for rendition of judgment in accordance with the agreements; or
(C) abate the appeal and permit proceedings in the trial court to effectuate the agreement.
By its motion, Appellant voluntarily requests dismissal because it no longer desires to prosecute the appeal. None of the other parties to the appeal have objected to dismissal nor do they claim that dismissal would prevent them from seeking relief to which they would otherwise be entitled. Therefore, the motion is granted and the appeal is dismissed.
