On Appeal from the County Court at Law No. 2
Orange County, Texas
Trial Cause No. 23510A
________________________________________________________ _____________
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Charlotte Patty McKinley perfected an accelerated appeal from an order
denying her motion to dismiss a residential forcible detainer action filed by
Optimist Village, Inc. See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem Code Ann. 51.014(a)(12) (West
Supp. 2016). Upon receiving a suggestion of the death of the appellant, a motion to
withdraw as counsel for the appellant, and the appellee’s motion to dismiss the
appeal as moot, we abated the appeal and remanded the case to the trial court. The
trial court signed a final order of dismissal that disposed of all issues and all
1
parties. On September 29, 2016, we issued a suggestion of mootness and required
that any objection be filed no later than October 14, 2016. No response has been
filed. The motion to withdraw as counsel is granted, and the accelerated appeal is
dismissed without reference to the merits. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
