                  MEMORANDUM OPINION
 Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Benavides and Hinojosa
            Memorandum Opinion by Justice Hinojosa
       Appellant, Christus Spohn Health System Corporation d/b/a Christus Spohn

Hospital Corpus Christi – Shoreline, perfected an appeal from a judgment entered by the

94th District Court of Nueces County, Texas in cause number 2014-DCV-0727-C. This

is an interlocutory appeal from an order denying appellant’s plea to the jurisdiction taken

pursuant to section 51.014(a)(8) of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code. See

TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. § 51.014(a)(8) (West, Westlaw through 2015 R.S.).

On January 20, 2017, this appeal was abated to allow the parties an opportunity to

effectuate a settlement agreement.      Appellant has now filed an unopposed motion

requesting that we reinstate this appeal, and then dismiss the appeal based on the parties’

agreement. Appellant states that it will be responsible for its costs of appeal.

       The Court, having examined and fully considered the unopposed motion to

reinstate and dismiss this appeal, is of the opinion that it should be granted. Accordingly,

we reinstate this cause and dismiss the appeal based on the parties’ agreement. Costs

will be taxed against appellant. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d) (“Absent agreement of the

parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.”). Having dismissed the appeal at

appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will

issue forthwith.

                                                               LETICIA HINOJOSA
                                                               Justice

Delivered and filed the
2nd day of March, 2017.
