        APPELLANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL

    1. Appellant filed notice of its restricted appeal on August 28, 2015. On August

        31, 2015, Appellant and Appellee entered into a compromise agreement

        regarding matters related to Appellee's claims and causes of action against

        Appellant. As part of that compromise agreement, Appellant and Appellee

        agreed to file a Joint Motion to Vacate Default Judgment and Writ of

        Execution with the trial court.

    2. The Joint Motion to Vacate and Agreed Order Granting the Motion to

        Vacate Default Judgment and Writ of Execution were filed with the trial

        court on September 1, 2015. The trial court judge signed the order on

        September 8, 2015. A copy of the order is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

    3. Pursuant to Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 42.1, Appellant must file a

        motion with the Court for dismissal. Under Rule 42.1(a)(1) "[i]n accordance

        with a motion of appellant, the court may dismiss the appeal.....unless such

        disposition would prevent a party from seeking relief to which it would

        otherwise be entitled."

    4. Appellant seeks an order from this Court dismissing Appellant's appeal.

    5. Dismissal of the appeal would not prevent a party from seeking relief to

        which it would otherwise be entitled. Appellant and Appellee agree that

        dismissal of the appeal is in the interest of both parties.

   6. Because dismissal of the appeal would not prevent either party from seeking

        relief to which they would be otherwise entitled, the Court should grant the

        relief sought by this Motion to Dismiss Appeal.

    7. Appellant and Appellee agree that each party shall bear its own costs.

    8. Appellant and Appellee agree that the mandate should be issued early.

                                                 Respectfully submitted,
