COURT OF APPEALS
                                EIGHTH DISTRICT OF TEXAS
                                     EL PASO, TEXAS

 THE CITY OF EL PASO, TEXAS,                      §               No. 08-24-00011-CV

                               Appellant,         §                  Appeal from the

 v.                                               §            205th Judicial District Court

 SARA MELDRUM, Individually and on                §             of El Paso County, Texas
 behalf of minor ALISON MELDRUM,
                                                  §               (TC#2022-DCV-2328)
                               Appellees.

                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

       Before this Court is the parties’ joint motion to dismiss the appeal, which we construe as

Appellant’s motion to voluntarily dismiss the appeal. Compare TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(2)

(allowing appellate courts to dismiss an appeal by agreement when the parties or their attorneys

file a signed agreement with the court) with TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1 (a)(1) (allowing appellate courts

to dismiss an appeal on the motion of the appellant).

       The motion states that the parties have settled all issues in dispute, rendering the appeal

moot. We grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(a)(1). Costs of the appeal

are taxed against the party incurring the same as stated in the joint motion. See TEX. R. APP. P.

42.1(d).
