           Craig E. Overton              :

                   v.                    :

                                    ORDER

      This matter came before the Supreme Court on September 28, 2023, pursuant

to an order directing the parties to show cause why the issues raised in this appeal

should not be summarily decided. Prior to oral argument, this Court was advised

that the parties entered into a settlement agreement and the plaintiff, Craig E.

Overton (Overton), filed a motion to cancel oral argument. On September 22, 2023,

this Court issued an order directing the defendant, John K. Dunn (Dunn), to advise

the Court whether this matter had been resolved, and if it had been resolved, to file

a dismissal stipulation by 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 26, 2023. This Court

received no response from Dunn.

      At oral argument, Overton appeared and confirmed that a settlement

agreement had been reached, informed the Court that he had received the funds at

                                        -1-
issue, and that he had no objection to this case being dismissed. Dunn did not appear

at oral argument.

      The appeal in this case is dismissed and this matter shall close. The papers in

this case are remanded to the Superior Court.

      The plaintiff’s motion to cancel oral argument is denied as moot.
