v.
HOUSTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE,
Defendant-Appellee
Appeal from the 80th Judicial District of Harris County (Honorable Larry Weiman,
presiding); Trial Cause No. 2012-45866.
APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF APPEAL
TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE COURT OF APPEALS:
COMES NOW Lorenzo Walker, the Plaintiff-Appellant (“Appellant”), and
respectfully moves the Court for Voluntary Dismissal of his appeal from the
dismissal of his claims against Houston Community College, Defendant-Appellee
(“Appellee”).
Appellant filed his Notice of Appeal on June 30, 2015, from the trial court’s
order granting Appellee’s motion for summary judgment, thereby dismissing all of
the Appellant’s claims against Appellee, and the order denying Appellant’s motion
for new trial. Appellant has paid his filing fee for this appeal, there are currently
no briefing deadlines, and the Court has not issued an opinion or judgment in this
appeal. Appellant seeks no relief against the Appellee through this Motion or the
dismissal of his appeal. Appellant has filed a notice of non-suit, with prejudice, in
the matter from which she appeals.
Appellee has not sought any relief in this appeal and is unopposed to this
Motion.
PRAYER
Appellant respectfully prays that the Honorable Court grant this Motion for
Voluntary Dismissal of this Appeal with prejudice and providing that each party
agrees to bear their own costs, expenses, and attorneys fees.
Respectfully submitted,
