PRINE Clerk ROLANDO ACEVEDO, ET AL., Appellants, v. THE O’QUINN LAW FIRM, ET AL., Appellees. _________________________________________________________________ On Appeal from the Probate Court Number 2, Harris County, Texas Cause No. 392,247-416 _________________________________________________________________ APPELLANTS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DISMISS TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS: Appellants, Rolando Acevedo, et al., respectfully file this Appellants’ Unopposed Motion to Dismiss as a result of a settlement agreement between the parties of this appeal. 1. This case is pending in this Court. The Clerk’s Record has been on file since August 6, 2014. 2. Appellants’ brief was originally due September 6, 2014. 3. The parties have been involved in settlement negotiations, which have been fruitful. The clients have been contacted to seek their agreement to a global settlement. Appellants asked for and received an abatement from the Court of Appeals. 4. As requested by the Court, Appellants have provided status reports to the Court on a regular basis. 5. The Court has graciously extended the abatement of this appeal until June 20, 2015 so that counsel for Appellants could have time to obtain approval for the settlements from Appellants. 6. Counsel has now confirmed Appellants’ agreement to the settlement, thus, the abatement and appeal is no longer necessary. 7. Therefore, Appellants no longer wish to prosecute this appeal and ask this Court to dismiss this appeal.
