Opinion filed August 24, 2023

                                       In The

        Eleventh Court of Appeals
                                    ___________

                                No. 11-23-00121-CV
                                    ___________

             SBA COMMUNICATIONS CORP., Appellant,
                                          V.
                        QUALYAN MOORE, Appellee

                     On Appeal from the 35th District Court
                             Brown County, Texas
                       Trial Court Cause No. CV2010443

                      MEMORANDUM OPINION
      Appellant has filed in this court an unopposed motion to dismiss this
accelerated appeal. In the motion, Appellant states that it no longer desires to pursue
the appeal, and that it “voluntarily seeks dismissal because Appellee dismissed with
prejudice his claims against Appellant.” In accordance with Appellant’s request, we
dismiss this appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1).
      We note that Appellant requests that the “costs [be] borne by the party that
incurred them.” While Appellant’s motion contains a certificate of conference that
states that it has conferred with opposing counsel, who is “unopposed to the relief
sought in this motion,” it does not indicate whether an agreement has occurred with
respect to the assessment of costs. Absent an agreement by the parties, however,
costs involving a voluntary dismissal shall be taxed against the appellant. Id.
R. 42.1(d). Therefore, costs of this appeal are taxed against Appellant.
      Appellant’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is dismissed.

                                             JOHN M. BAILEY
