Western
Atlas International, Inc. has asked this court to dismiss this appeal because
the issues in this appeal were resolved as a matter of law and are therefore
moot.  The record shows that the trial court ruled on some of the parties= claims in a summary
judgment order but that, prior to the entry of a final judgment, Better Energy
Sources and Technology, Inc. d/b/a Best Resources and Western Atlas each filed
a motion to dismiss without prejudice.  The motions were granted, and the trial
court entered orders dismissing all claims made by Better Energy and all claims
made by Western Atlas.  Thus, all of Better Energy=s claims and all of Western Atlas=s counterclaims were
resolved by voluntary dismissal.  The claims in this appeal are therefore
moot.  After due consideration of the motion, it is the order of this court
that Western Atlas=s
motion to dismiss Better Energy=s
appeal is granted.
The
appeal is dismissed.
