Appellant filed notice of its restricted appeal on August 28, 2015. On August 31, 2015, Appellant and Appellee entered into a compromise agreement regarding matters related to Appellee's claims and causes of action against Appellant. As part of that compromise agreement, Appellant and Appellee agreed to file a Joint Motion to Vacate Default Judgment and Writ of Execution with the trial court. 2. The Joint Motion to Vacate and Agreed Order Granting the Motion to Vacate Default Judgment and Writ of Execution were filed with the trial court on September 1, 2015. The trial court judge signed the order on September 8, 2015. A copy of the order is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 3. Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1, Appellant must file a motion with the Court for dismissal. Under Rule 42.1(a)(1) "[i]n accordance with a motion of appellant, the court may dismiss the appeal.....unless such disposition would prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled." 4. Appellant seeks an order from this Court dismissing Appellant's appeal. 5. Dismissal of the appeal would not prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would otherwise be entitled. Appellant and Appellee agree that dismissal of the appeal is in the interest of both parties. Appellant's Unopposed Motion to Dismiss Appeal Page 2 of 4 2096156v.1 6. Because dismissal of the appeal would not prevent either party from seeking relief to which they would be otherwise entitled, the Court should grant the relief sought by this Motion to Dismiss Appeal. 7. Appellant and Appellee agree that each party shall bear its own costs. 8. Appellant and Appellee agree that the mandate should be issued early.
