      Appellants, Ingram Readymix, Inc. and Southern Contracting, Inc.(“SCI”), perfected

an appeal from a judgment entered by the 319th District Court of Nueces County, Texas,

in cause number 08-6125-G. SCI, Bennett, Martin, Solka & Torino, Inc.(“BMST”), and
Govind & Associates, Inc. (“Govind”), have filed a joint motion to dismiss with prejudice.

SCI, BMST, and Govind have filed a joint motion to dismiss the appeal on grounds that

they have resolved their disputes at mediation and request that this Court dismiss with

prejudice all of the claims in this case asserted by SCI against BMST and Govind.

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and the joint motion to dismiss

with prejudice claims by SCI against BMST and Govind, is of the opinion that the motion

should be granted. See TEX . R. APP. P. 42.1(a). The joint motion to dismiss is granted,

and the appeal is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. In accordance with the

agreement of the parties, costs are taxed against the party incurring same. See TEX . R.

APP. P. 42.1(d). Having dismissed the appeal at the parties’ request, no motion for

rehearing will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.

      The appeal with respect to claims made by SCI against BMST and Govind is

ordered SEVERED from the remainder of the appeal. The Clerk shall create Cause No.
