                        UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXPEDITED
                              ISSUANCE OF MANDATE
                    ____________________________________________

          This appeal involves title, and specifically whether Appellants or Appellees own

certain lands along the edge of Canyon Lake, subject to a flowage easement in favor of

the government. The trial court granted summary judgment that Appellees own the

subject interest. On December 18, 2014, this Court issued a memorandum opinion

affirming that final summary judgment. Appellants filed a petition for review from that

decision, which the Supreme Court denied on May 1, 2015. The time has now passed for

a motion for rehearing to be filed. The case is therefore final.

          Appellees respectfully move that this Court issue its mandate on an expedited

basis. Once the mandate is issued, Appellees can file it and the trial court’s judgment in

the deed records in order to quiet title as to the disputed interest. That will resolve the

substantial uncertainty of title that has existed since Appellants first claimed the disputed

interest. Appellants do not oppose this motion.
