                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
  Before Chief Justice Valdez and Justices Contreras and Benavides
           Memorandum Opinion by Chief Justice Valdez

      Defendants and counter-plaintiffs Abbasid, Inc. d/b/a Azhar’s Oriental Rugs,

Phoenician Imports, Inc., and Azhar Said, individually and d/b/a Abbasid, Inc. and

Phoenician Imports, Inc., and plaintiff and counter-defendant Dale & Klein LLP have each
appealed a final judgment rendered on September 11, 2015. This Court previously

abated the appeal to allow the parties to effectuate their settlement agreement. The

parties have now filed an agreed, joint motion for disposition pursuant to settlement

agreement. The parties assert that this case is now ripe for disposition pursuant to the

agreement, and ask us to render judgment effectuating their settlement. See TEX. R.

APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)(A). T

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

disposition pursuant to settlement agreement, is of the opinion that the motion should be

granted.   See id.   Accordingly, we REINSTATE this appeal.        We GRANT the joint

motion for disposition pursuant to settlement agreement.        In accordance with the

settlement agreement, we set aside and REVERSE the final judgment and RENDER

judgment dismissing the parties’ claims against each other with prejudice. In accordance

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

id. R. 42.1(d) (“Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the

appellant.”). Having dismissed the appeal at the parties’ request, no motion for rehearing

will be entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith. We dismiss any other pending

motions as moot.
