MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Rodriguez, Garza, and Benavides

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam



Nabors Corporate Services, Inc. sought review of the trial court's denial of its motion to compel arbitration through an interlocutory appeal and a petition for writ of mandamus. Nabors has now filed agreed motions to dismiss the appeal and petition for writ of mandamus. In its motions, Nabors states that, after these causes were ordered to mediation by this Court, the parties were able to reach an agreement to settle their differences. Nabors requests that the appeal and petition for writ of mandamus be dismissed. In addition, Nabors requests that this Court expedite issuance of the mandate and that costs be taxed against the party incurring same.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and the agreed motions to dismiss, is of the opinion that the motions should be granted. The agreed motions to dismiss appeal and petition for writ of mandamus are GRANTED. In addition, appellant's motion to expedite issuance of mandate is GRANTED. The appeal and the petition for writ of mandamus in the above causes are DISMISSED.
