                Appeal from the 506th Judicial District Court
                         of Waller County, Texas
                   Trial Court Cause No. 14-07-22604

          SUPPLEMENT TO THE PREVIOUSLY-FILED
   UNOPPOSED MOTION OF APPELLANTS, ELISHAH SAWYERS,
      PAX CRATE & FREIGHT, INC., AND ROBIN SAWYERS
        FOR IMMEDIATE ISSUANCE OF THE MANDATE

TO THE HONORABLE FIRST COURT OF APPEALS:

      1.    On August 18, 2015, Appellants, Elishah Sawyers, Robin Sawyers

and Pax Crate & Freight, Inc., filed their Unopposed Motion for Immediate

Issuance of the Mandate.      In that motion, the Sawyers and Pax Crate

informed the Court that “very shortly after the mandate is issued by the Clerk
of this Court, Elishah Sawyers, Robin Sawyers, and Pax Crate & Freight, Inc.,

intend to file their motion for new trial with the clerk of the trial court.”

      2.     The Sawyers and Pax Crate file this supplement to their

previously-filed unopposed motion for immediate issuance of the mandate to

notify the Court that Appellants and Appellees have settled all claim in this

lawsuit. Once the Clerk of this Court issues the mandate, the parties will file

with the Waller County District Clerk a joint motion to dismiss the underlying

lawsuit with prejudice. Immediate issuance of the mandate will allow the

parties to finalize disposition of the underlying case once and for all.

      WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellants, Elishah

Sawyers; Pax Freight & Crate, Inc.; and Robin Sawyers, respectfully pray that

the Court grant their previously-filed unopposed motion for immediate

issuance of the mandate. Appellants pray that the Court order the Clerk of

this Court to issue the mandate in the above-captioned and numbered appeal

immediately based upon the agreement of all parties so that the parties can

give effect to the terms of their full and final settlement of all claims in the

underlying lawsuit.
                             Respectfully submitted,
