              UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DISMISS CROSS-APPEAL

TO THE HONORABLE JUSTICES OF THE SAID COURT:

        COMES NOW Appellee/Cross-Appellant Dig Tech, Inc. ("Dig Tech") and

files this Unopposed Motion to Dismiss Cross-Appeal and as grounds therefore

would show this Court the following:

        1.         On July 13, 2015, Dig Tech filed a notice of appeal regarding the

single issue of the trial court's denial of prejudgment interest in the amount of 18%

per annum under Texas Property Code§ 28.003.

        2.         Dig Tech wishes to dismiss the cross-appeal on this single issue. No

briefing has been filed by either party on this issue. All appellate costs related to

this single cross-appeal issue should be borne by the party incurring them.

Appellants/Cross-Appellees (Mr. Robichaux) on November 23, 2015 and
