       APPELLANT’S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL
                     WITHOUT PREJUDICE

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

      Appellant, YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SERVICES, INC. d/b/a HIGGS

CARTER KING GIFTED & TALENTED CHARTER ACADEMY (hereinafter

“HCK”), files this its Motion to Dismiss Appeal Without Prejudice and shows the

Court as follows:

      The Appellant HCK filed this appeal on July 17, 2015 due to the judge in the

345th District Court of Travis County granting Defendant-Appellee’s Plea to the

Jurisdiction in its entirety. However, after certain events occurred and while the trial

court maintained plenary power, the court granted the Plaintiff a new trial as to at

                                           2
least one of the claims previously dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. As a result, the

July 17, 2015 order is interlocutory.

       Due to the 345th District Court agreeing to a new trial on part of HCK’s claims,

HCK moves to dismiss this appeal, without prejudice, so the new trial can move

forward on the central docket. HCK reserves the right to appeal the dismissal of the

remaining claims once a final order is issued in this case.

       Wherefore Premise Considered, the Appellant moves this court dismiss,

without prejudice, this appeal and for such further relief as it may show itself justly

entitled.

SIGNED this 4th day of September, 2015.

                                 Respectfully submitted,
