                         MEMORANDUM OPINION
               Before Justices Benavides, Perkes, and Longoria
                      Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

      Appellant, Kip H. Allison, filed an appeal from a judgment entered by the 160th

District Court of Dallas County, Texas, in cause number DC-11-09451.   His appeal was

transferred to this Court from the Fifth Court of Appeals by order of the Texas Supreme

Court. See TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.220(a) (West Supp. 2011) (delineating the
jurisdiction of appellate courts); TEX.GOV'T CODE ANN. § 73.001 (West 2005) (granting

the supreme court the authority to transfer cases from one court of appeals to another at

any time that there is “good cause” for the transfer). Appellant has filed a motion to

dismiss the appeal and requests that this Court dismiss the appeal.

      The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant’s motion to

dismiss the appeal, is of the opinion that the motion should be granted. See TEX. R. APP.

P. 42.1(a).   Appellant’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the appeal is hereby

DISMISSED.     Costs will be taxed against appellant.     See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.1(d)

("Absent agreement of the parties, the court will tax costs against the appellant.").

Having dismissed the appeal at appellant’s request, no motion for rehearing will be

entertained, and our mandate will issue forthwith.

                                                PER CURIAM

Delivered and filed the
5th day of December, 2013.
